The original line-up consisted of singer\/guitarist\u00a0Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist\u00a0John Cale, guitarist\u00a0Sterling Morrison, and drummer\u00a0Angus MacLise. MacLise was replaced by\u00a0Moe Tucker\u00a0in 1965, who played on most of the band&#8217;s recordings. Their integration of rock and the\u00a0avant-garde\u00a0achieved little commercial success during the group&#8217;s existence, but they are now recognized as one of the most influential bands in rock,\u00a0underground,\u00a0experimental, and\u00a0alternative\u00a0music.[5][6]\u00a0The group&#8217;s provocative subject matter, musical experiments, and often\u00a0nihilistic\u00a0attitudes also proved influential in the development of\u00a0punk rock\u00a0and\u00a0new wave music.[5]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, the group performed under a number of names before settling on The Velvet Underground in 1965.&nbsp;Pop artist&nbsp;Andy Warhol&nbsp;became their manager in 1966, and they served as the&nbsp;house band&nbsp;at Warhol&#8217;s art collective known as &#8220;the Factory&#8221; and Warhol&#8217;s traveling multimedia show, the&nbsp;Exploding Plastic Inevitable, from 1966 to 1967. Their debut album,&nbsp;The Velvet Underground &amp; Nico&nbsp;(with German singer and model&nbsp;Nico), was released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor sales but has since drawn wide acclaim.[7][8]&nbsp;They released three more albums,&nbsp;White Light\/White Heat&nbsp;(1968),&nbsp;The Velvet Underground&nbsp;(1969), and&nbsp;Loaded&nbsp;(1970), with&nbsp;Doug Yule&nbsp;replacing Cale for the final two, and with none performing up to the expectations of record labels or of Reed, the band&#8217;s leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group functionally disbanded in the early 1970s as everyone except Yule left the band. An abortive UK tour with Yule as the band leader and with new musicians followed in 1973, and a final album released in the band&#8217;s name,&nbsp;Squeeze&nbsp;(1973), consisting mostly of Yule with a few session musicians, marked the end of the band for some time. All of the members continued to collaborate on each other&#8217;s solo work throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and a retrospective &#8220;rarities&#8221; album,&nbsp;VU, was released in 1985. A full reunion of the band came in the early 1990s, with the Reed-Cale-Tucker-Morrison lineup playing a series of well-received shows in 1993, and releasing a live album from the tour,&nbsp;Live MCMXCIII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Morrison&#8217;s death in 1995, the remaining three members played together for a single performance at their\u00a0Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\u00a0induction in 1996, the last time the band performed together musically. In 2004, the Velvet Underground were ranked number 19 on\u00a0Rolling Stone&#8217;s list of the &#8220;100 Greatest Artists of All Time&#8221;.[9]\u00a0In 2017, a study of\u00a0AllMusic&#8217;s catalog indicated the group as the fifth most frequently cited artist influence in its database.[10]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View more &#8211; Wikipedia.org:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Velvet_Underground\">https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Velvet_Underground<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Velvet Underground https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Velvet+Underground+playlist The Velvet Underground\u00a0were an American\u00a0rock\u00a0band formed in\u00a0New York City\u00a0in 1964.
