Title: The best music you've never heard.
Review: The Velvet Underground are that band from the late 60's that few people have ever heard--at least directly. While they never achieved great popularity (this box set has sold more than all their albums have sold combined), the Velvets influenced music like NO other artists ever have. Their music has been so subsumed into the sound of modern rock music that their great originality hardly seems that astonishing anymore. Bands like R.E.M., Nirvana, the Violent Femmes, and many other greats have taken the Velvet sound to new levels, but it all started with this quartet headed by Lou Reed. Buy this set. Every note on every album matters, and you'll never forget the experience of "Sister Ray".
