- #1? no way. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 11:15 1
  - (for proof, look at who they say it influenced. that's a shitload of *shrug* in one list.) -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 11:16

I used to feel that way about TVU. Used to. -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 11:10 19
- I have nothing against TVU itself, I can't stand the critics who think it is way more important than it ever was -- nm - crash davis Aug 13, 11:12 18
  - It had a great deal more influence in the 60's, Its the musical equal to Catcher in the Rye -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 13, 11:24
  - you don't have to particularly like them to recognize that their legacy grew deep roots. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 11:15 8
    - deeper than Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, BB King, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and on and on? - crash davis Aug 13, 11:17 7
      - just because something is orange, doesn't mean it's orangey. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 11:19 6
        
        the very same writer says "Dylan invented modern rock music", and yet ranks TVU higher because they influenced Roxy Music? -- nm - crash davis Aug 13, 11:22 5
        
        more people follow Dylan today but TVU did way more to open up the kind of music that people recognized as music. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 11:24 1
        
        more people followed Dylan back then too! -- nm - crash davis Aug 13, 11:25
        
        me, i don't even think that list is meant as a ranking.... - xi Aug 13, 11:24 2
        
        read that way, i can get on board with it. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 11:25
        
        then they shouldn't put numbers in front of their listings -- nm - crash davis Aug 13, 11:25
  - i couldn't disagree more. v.u. is hugely influential....nm - xi Aug 13, 11:14 7
    - no it isn't - whoever heard of a musician saying "I picked up a guitar after I heard The Velvet Underground" - crash davis Aug 13, 11:16 6
      - You gotta admit, they sound a lot like today's indie bands -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 11:26
      - yeah, seriously...nm - xi Aug 13, 11:19 1
        
        the #1 landmark, no way -- nm - crash davis Aug 13, 11:20
      - exactly. "No Jesus and Mary Chain?!? Music will never recover from this!" -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 11:17 1
        
        psycho candy is *brilliant*....nm - xi Aug 13, 11:20
      - good god man, that line's practically a cliche now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 11:17
