Velvet Underground and Nico: The Velvet Underground (1967)
The Velvet Underground served as Andy Warhol’s house band. Their first album, with Warhol girl Nico, broke new ground in experimentation and subject matter. While most acts of the period sang of love, the Underground covered heroin addiction. They also explored sadomasochism, prostitution, and other taboo topics. The Underground proved a decade ahead of their time.
