The Velvet Underground & Nico - wikipedia

The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in 1964 in New York by singer/guitarist Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cal, guitarist
Sterling Morrison & drummer Angus MacLise (replaced by Moe Tucker in 1965).
The band, active between 1965 and 1973, was briefly managed by pop artist Andy Warhol, serving as the house band at the Factory and Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable events from 1966 to 1967.

The Velvet Underground & Nico (with German-born singer and model Nico), was released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor sales but has become critically acclaimed; Rolling Stone called it the "most prophetic rock album ever made."
