Velvet Underground- Velvet Underground & Nico
I was listening to "Heroin" and when everything starts to fall apart near the end, my roommate gives me this look that says "dude....what the hell is this sh*t?" So I responded: "You've got to realize, that's the first time somebody thought: hey, let me just put my guitar right up to the amp and start shreddin'." The Velvet Underground have had such a profound influence on music... Brian Eno (who's the sh*t in case you didn't know) put it best when he said that while few people actually bought the velvets albums when they were released, all of them formed their own bands. So much has been said about them, that instead of repeating it, I'd rather you figured it our for yourself.
