The Velvet Underground is one of the most influential bands in the history of pop music. And their legacy is especially impressive considering all of their albums were panned by critics and ignored by fans. There's a saying that even though they didn't sell well initially, every person who bought one of their albums ended up forming a band.

That's because the groundbreaking style of Lou Reed, John Cale, Doug Yule, Sterling Morrison, and Moe Tucker has turned out to be timeless. And their collaborations with Nico and Andy Warhol only brought them to new heights of fame, including, eventually, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So how did it happen?
