There are some feedback experiments and a lot of noise to be found in their first couple of albums, and there are a lot of lyrics touching on topics which were taboo in the day, but it takes a very inclusive definition of proto-punk (and granted, the term is often used loosely, though sometimes so loosely that it loses cohesive meaning, but that's another topic) to consider those aspects enough to give the band this accolade.Īnother problem is that some of their experimental aspects (lyrically and sonically), as "shocking" as they may have seemed at the time, don't really hold up, even in the context of their contemporaries. The band is regularly cited as being an influence on punk music, but even within the category of 60's proto-punk, the band's musical connections with punk seem somewhat weak most of the time. In the years since the band's retroactive ascension to the ultra-elite, though, there have inevitably been pockets of backlash, and the criticisms leveled at the band in these cases have not totally been without merit. It is largely for this reason that the band has gone down in history, for a lot of people, as one of the absolute greatest bands of all time. had the credentials for claiming that title (even with so relatively few albums to their name). Plus, when the critical consensus on what constituted "quality" rock music shifted drastically towards punk (in the late 70's) and post-punk (for a while afterwards), it was inevitable that people would try to identify a band as those genres' long-lost forefather, and The V.U. Supposedly, Brian Eno once basically said that while almost nobody bought albums by The Velvet Underground when they were still together, almost everybody who bought them went out and started their own bands, and this goes a long way to explaining why the band is generally looked upon so favorably.
It would be hard to think of a band that owes as much of its success to the bands influenced by it as does The Velvet Underground. "I Saw My Head Laughing, Rolling On The Ground, And Now I'm Set Free" Repeat the chords mentioned in the first line over and over, except for the very last part.The Velvet Underground Completely confused by the rating system? Go here for an explanation. From: Harlan L Thompson SWEET JANE- The Velvet Underground Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand Jack is in his coat, and Jane is her vest, and me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah! Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim Y'know, those were different times! Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse And the ladies, they rolled their eyes Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane! I'll tell you something Jack, he is a banker And Jane, she is a clerk Both of them save their monies, ha And when, when they come home from work Sittin' down by the fire, oh! The radio does play The classical music there, Jim "The March of the Wooden Soldiers" All you protest kids You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane! Some people, they like to go out dancing And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now! And there's even some evil mothers Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt Y'know that, women, never really faint And that villains always blink their eyes, woo! And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush! And that, life is just to die! And, everyone who ever had a heart They wouldn't turn around and break it And anyone who ever played a part Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it! Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane Sweet Jane (repeat and fade) NOTE: I got the lyrics from the lyrics achive- thanks.
