If you look hard enough you can always find similarities between all bands and/or artist musically. The musical influence has to be obvious to the ears without searching and trying to convince someone that is it is there when its not. Show me some proof to back your statement, that's all I'm asking.
The main point I'm trying to make is that Velvet Underground is way overrated by the masses and nothing more.

Yea but see, under that logic every artist would have to sound too alike their influences in order for you to acknowledge it as an influence.
And that is not the case for alot of artists influenced by others, we don't really know what they personally drawed from the bands but if they cite them as an influence that should be proof enough they influenced him.
