How different would Rock be if The Velvet Underground never existed?

>>73442543
a lot of really obscure bands that no one gives a fuck about wouldn't exist

If it hadn't been for the Velvet Underground, every rock band wouldn't have a viola in it.

Probably but desu I've never listened to a rock album before 67

Perhaps the blues would be the dominant rock sub-genre even today rather than garage/punk.

was this the first interactive album cover?

>tfw you're missing the best year in music history that is '66

At least we got this bait out of the way early on.

The VU revolutionized rock music by showing that simplicity was beautiful, and by daring to talk about dark subjects like drug addiction.

So, presumably without the VU rock music would be a lot more complex, and the lyrics would be more positive and philosophical/ambitious. Think about that.

Rock music still isn't that complex besides Prog and some Metal sub genres.
But it's really not suppose to be that anyways.

exactly this, and if those talentless hacks didn't exist, my favorite talentless genre shoegaze wouldn't exist
