It took you awhile to gather the information off the internet, I haven't heard of 98 percent of those bands, you forgot to mention David Bowie and the Stooges.

And see? YOU KNOW they influenced alot of artists in a direct or indirect way. |
I have high respect for VU and their influence, but I don't listen to them actively. I do enjoy the Cowboy Junkies cover of "Sweet Jane".
|
And how is that, that I should know?
David Bowie and the Stooges are just a joke that I've heard others reply to as artist that were influenced by Velvet Underground, sorry. |

Well I've performed covers by David Bowie, but that doesn't mean I'm influenced by his music in my own writing.
I personally don't hear the influence of VU in any of David Bowie's material. |
I'm not a overly big fan of them but I do have a lot of respect for them. I read somewhere that they had major influence on Jello from Dead Kennedys and Greg Ginn from Black Flag and those are 2 of my favorite bands.

"Queen Bitch" is a song written by David Bowie in 1971 for the album Hunky Dory. Bowie was a great Velvet Underground fan and wrote the song in tribute to the band and Lou Reed.[1] He recorded a studio cover of Reed's "I'm Waiting for the Man" in 1967 (which remains unissued), as well as live versions, which may be heard on Bowie at the Beeb and on Live Nassau Coliseum '76 (in the 2010 special edition and deluxe edition re-issues of Station To Station). -Wiki |
