Artist: The Velvet Underground

Rock 'n' roll group from New York. Known for Andy Warhol's artwork, often cited as one of the more important and influential groups of their era.Inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 (Performer).The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1964. They became known for their integration of rock and roll and the avant-garde, which earned them little commercial success during their initial nine-year run but made them one of the most influential bands of their era, particularly in underground, experimental, and alternative music scenes. Their provocative subject matter and experimentation were instrumental in the development of punk rock, new wave and other genres. In 1998, The New York Times called them "arguably the most influential American rock band of our time".
