Abstract	Though The Velvet Underground existed for less than three years with its original members, it is considered to be not just the "ultimate New York band" but also the most influential group ever. Artists who have acknowledged such influence include David Bowie, The Sex Pistols, Patti Smith, Joy Division and Nirvana." "Witts places the band and its genesis in the cultural context of Manhattan's beatnik bohemianism, its radical artistic environment, and the city's negative reaction to California's "Hippie" counterculture. Lou Reed's "song factory" background is also considered, while his Primitives (1965) and Velvet Underground songs (1965-70) are examined within the stylistic context of rock music.
