The Velvet Underground were more an influence on the art rock side of the punk movement, your Talking Heads , Television , Patti Smith types , and the British punks who went to art school (cept Lydon who hated them). If you want to get into the Velvet Underground expecting them to be an influnence on the 3 chord thrash type punk bands you are going to be very very disappointed.
