Hey,version of The Monkees created by Andy Warhol. Not that Warhol created the band, he merely created the buzz that seems to linger to this day. Over-wrought and self-important.
Just caught Todd Haynes' documentary on The Velvet Underground. As much as I like a lot of Haynes' films, this is a drawn-out mess that seems to have as a take-away that Lou Reed is a total asshole and the The Velvet Underground is the avant garde's
Anyone trying to listen to Nico Icon sing would be convinced of that.

From Britannica.com:
Recorded in 1966 but not released until the following year, The Velvet Underground and Nico was one of rock's most important debuts, a
pioneering work that applied the disruptive aesthetics of avant-garde
music and free jazz (drones, distortion, atonal feedback) to rock
guitar.Oct 15, 2021
Hall of fame inductions: Rock & Roll Hall of Fa...
Members: Reed, Cale
the Velvet Underground | Members, Nico, Songs, Albums ...
So let's see, a world famous reference calling them "one of rock's most important debuts" vs. willie the whiny bitch ahearn comparing them to
the Monkees. Tough call.

The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed have always been critics'
darlings, and there's the famous quote about how their debut didn't
sell a lot of copies, but everyone who bought a copy started their own
band:

That said, it doesn't mean they aren't overhyped and overrated. I
generally like avant garde rock music, but most Velvet Underground
that I've heard has sucked. Just personal opinion, obviously.
