Not for everyone. Really experimental and out there (especially the first two albums). This group was a decade or two ahead of their time, creating sounds and styles that hadn't ever been thought of. It is said that The Velvet Underground only had 1000 fans, but that each of them went out and started a band.
Check out their Wikipedia Page for more info.
The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City. First active from 1965 to 1973, their best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists. Although never commercially successful while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 1960s. Their 1967 debut album, titled The Velvet Underground & Nico (which featured German singer Nico, with whom the band collaborated) was named the 13th Greatest Album of All Time, and the "most prophetic rock album ever made" by Rolling Stone in 2003. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the band #19 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".
