From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre

Art rock · The Velvet Underground of Lou Reed and John Cale worked in New York with the artist Andy Warhol, who designed the sleeve with the banana. Cale had worked with the composer La Monte Young on long, sustained tones. The 1967 debut at first sold poorly, but influenced punk, post-punk and alternative rock.

Listening

Listening tip. In Venus in Furs, hear Cale's electric viola: a drone full of dissonances.
