The Velvet Underground Tree from Tony J. Neal on 8tracks Radio.
As the house band of artist Andy Warhol’s infamous Factory studio, the Velvet Underground were bred ground-up for later infamy and influence. While the group was long considered rock’s dark horse — a sore throat on the hippie’s movement’s stoned reverie — the each album helped established a base from which to launch the ’70s battered souls. Glam, punk, metal, noise and the avant garde — all owe the band influence, making this family tree an undeniably wide and eclectic one.
