The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground was an influential American rock band active in the 1960s and early 1970s, known for their avant-garde approach to music and their dark, complex lyrics. Led by Lou Reed and featuring members such as John Cale, the band created a soundscape that combined elements of rock, noise, and experimental music, often exploring taboo subjects such as drugs and sex. Although they never achieved much commercial success during their time, their influence on alternative and indie rock has been profound.
