- The Velvet Underground foi unha banda estadounidense activa nunha primeira etapa dende 1965 ata 1973. Os seus membros máis coñecidos foron Lou Reed e John Cale, os cales conseguiron unha exitosa carreira como artistas en solitario. A pesares de nunha ter éxito comercial no tempo no que estiveron xuntos, a banda soe ser citada por moitos críticos como unha das máis importantes e influintes da súa época.

- The Velvet Underground was an American rock band, active between 1964 and 1973, formed in New York City by Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists. Although experiencing little commercial success while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 1960s. In a 1982 interviewBrian Eno made the often repeated statement that while the first Velvet Underground album may have sold only 30,000 copies in its early years, "everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band."

- Led by former Czech President Vaclav Havel, the Velvet Underground was an anti-Communist political party and a semi-annoying rock band that was well known for hanging out with Andy Warhol's friends while Andy himself was off "having an organza." Later, when the band split up, Lou Reed became Prime Minister of Slovakia, while Havel remained President of the Czech Republic. Havel clearly got the better deal country-wise. Reed got Laurie Anderson, and Havel ended up with some Czech actress. You can decide who got the better deal there.
- The foundations for what would become the Velvet Underground were laid in late 1964. Singer/guitarist Lou Reed had performed with a few short-lived garage bands and had worked as a songwriter for Pickwick Records (Reed described his tenure there as being "a poor man's Carole King"). Reed met John Cale, a Welshman who had moved to the United States to study classical music upon securing a scholarship. Cale had worked with experimental composers Cornelius Cardew and La Monte Young but was also interested in rock music. Young's use of extended drones would be a profound influence on the band's early sound. Cale was pleasantly surprised to discover that Reed's experimentalist tendencies were similar to his own: Reed sometimes used alternative guitar tunings to create a droning sound. The pair
