How The Velvet Underground Changed Music Forever!

Peel back the banana and step into the gritty underground of 1960s New York! In this episode of Album Archives, we dive into The Velvet Underground & Nico, the groundbreaking 1967 debut that redefined rock music. Driven by Lou Reed’s raw poetry, John Cale’s avant-garde edge, and Nico’s haunting vocals, with Andy Warhol’s visionary touch, this album delivers dark, daring classics like ‘Heroin,’ ‘I’m Waiting for the Man,’ and ‘Venus in Furs.’ Join host Steve Epley as we explore its lo-fi creation, rebellious sound, and seismic influence on punk, indie, and beyond.
