VENUS IN FURS
Velvet Underground. First 'Punk' Rock band and definitely a product of their time.
Their sound is experimental at times and could even be called 'noisy' but now while I'm listening to them i realize that if i were to hear a song like "Venus in Furs" or "Heroin" and NOT know it was Velvet Underground I would honestly think they were a punk band from the 80s, not the late 60s. This band, and mainly the movement that they were part of single handedly shaped the music we all know today. Nothing today would be the same without John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, or The Velvet Underground. (trust me many more people....)
THE CLASH WOULD NOT EXIST! and that would be a very scary world... so Velvet Underground you guys get TWO THUMBS UP in my book.
