Velvet Underground pioneers of art rock and social critique
The Velvet Underground is portrayed as a progressive group breaking free from classical roots into an unorthodox musical form. Lou Reed from Oak Ridge pursues cybernetic ideas, Sterling Morrison blends linguistics with raw sound, John Cale from Wales brings avant garde training, and Maureen Tucker rises from Greenwich Village streets to solidify the band’s distinctive percussion driven style.
