Though The Velvet Underground were critically and commercially
unsuccessful in their time, in ensuing decades they have become a
constant touchstone in art rock, punk, post-punk, indie, avant pop
and alternative rock. In the 1970s and 80s Lou Reed, John Cale and
Nico produced a number of works that traveled a path between art
and pop. In 1993 the original band members of Reed, Cale, Morrison
and Tucker briefly reunited for live appearances, and afterwards
Reed, Cale and briefly Tucker, continued to produce music that
travelled the idiosyncratic path begun in New York in the
mid-1960s. The influence of the band and band members, mediated and
promoted through famous fans such as David Bowie and Brian Eno,
seems only to have expanded since the late 1960s. In 1996 the
Velvet Underground were in inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame, demonstrating how far the band had traveled in 30 years from
an avant-garde cult to the mainstream recognition of their key
contributions to popular music. In these collected essays, Pattie
and Albiez present the first academic book-length collection on The
Velvet Underground. The book covers a range of topics including the
band's relationship to US literature, to youth and cultural
movements of the 1960s and beyond and to European culture - and
examines these contexts from the 1960s through to the present day.
