The Velvet Underground & Nico (In 4 Minutes)

When it was released in 1967, few outside the band’s immediate circle seemed to know what to make of The Velvet Underground & Nico’s combative noise and provocative lyrics. Only a few years later, it would become a key building block for the punk movement.

I was in America visiting from UK for a month and I was completely broke my mum sent me 100 bucks which I promptly spent on a velvet underground box set didn't regret it for a nanosecond

[@nedisahonkey]

This album made me a junkie. 11/10 would die again.

[@nikokaapa]

Without a doubt one of the most influential albums of the past 100 years.

If you've done one, now you gotta do all four of them. Each of the Velvet Underground albums has a great story behind them.

[@ryanamaro7592]

there will never be another like them

Some Cocteau Twins would be appreciated.

[@thekalifornian4244]

[@pete2derp]

you guys should do a very influential classic, that too few people know about, next. like "slanted and enchanted" or "pink flag".

[@clc-gl4jn]
