The Velvet Underground fue un agrupación fundada en 1965 en Nueva York, Estados Unidos por el guitarrista, vocalista y compositor Lou Reed, el guitarrista Sterling Morrison, la baterista Maureen Tucker y el violista John Cale.
Después de que Andy Warhol se convirtiera en el manager del grupo, sugirió que la modelo y estrella de la Factory, Nico, debía cantar en la banda. La banda no se sintió cómoda con la sugerencia y Reed y Cale sentían que estaban perdiendo el control, pero finalmente aceptaron para aprovechar la promoción que Warhol les podía dar y se convirtieron en The Velvet Underground & Nico.

Algunas canciones fueron adaptadas para ser cantadas por Nico y durante las que Reed cantaba ella tocaba la pandereta. Sin embargo, su propuesta careció de repercusión comercial.
Lanzaron su disco debut (grabado en tan sólo 8 horas) llamado «The Velvet Underground & Nico» en 1966 y con él se establecieron como los fundadores de un nuevo sonido alternativo, diferente a la psicodelia que reinaba en aquel momento. Lanzaron tres discos más «White Light/White Heat», «The Velvet Underground» y «Loaded» con poco éxito hasta su silenciosa disolución en 1970. Para este momento, John Cale había sido reemplazado por el multinstrumentista Doug Yule, quien grabó en solitario otro trabajo más con el nombre de la Velvet Undeground titulado «Squeeze», no es considerado parte de la discografía real de la banda neoyorquina.

Con los años, la Velvet Underground se ha consolidado como una de las agrupaciones más influyentes del rock, a la par de leyendas como The Beatles o The Rolling Stones.

I think they sound quite different. Yule has a stronger and technically 'better' voice than Lou, whose slightly bland voice I find endearing. They have the same range, but I think there are noticeable timbral differences.

Actually Dough Yule would often fill in for Lou live whenever his voice went out, I can't tell the difference between their voices either.

Start at the beginning. The first album is amazing, even though Nico's presence is quite divisive. I think Doug Yule sings lead vocals on four or five songs from Loaded.

Doug Yule sung lead vocals on Loaded?! I always thought that Lou was singing on all of them. I have to say, I couldn't tell the difference between the two. I know it's Lou Reed on "Sweet Jane" and "Rock & Roll" and Yule does sound...similar. There are moments when he sounds exactly like Reed.

I never 'got' Oh! Sweet Nuthin. Loaded just doesn't do anything for me, but I can understand where you're coming from. Lou as a songwriter was constantly developing in the late-1960s/early 1970s, and I find his work during that period qute hit-and-miss for that reason (needless to say, Loaded and TVU both go into the misses category fo me). I don't think he reached his full potential as a songwriter until Berlin.

Yule was good, just listen to Oh! Sweet Nuthin' John Cale leaving was probably the best way it could have went, otherwise Lou's songwriting might not have fully flourished under Cale, the first and second albums were great but where could The Velvet Underground with Cale really have gone after White Light/White Heat? Instead we have four brilliant, incredibly diverse albums and Lou Reed's solo career.

The Velvet Underground reunion in the 1990s was terrible crap. Needless to say, it'd be even worse without Sterling Morrison, but this is not a reunion. Thankfully. It's hopefully just Lou Reed and Doug Yule fighting to the death.

I would agree that Yule is underappreciated if I liked any of the songs he penned. But I don't, so I don't think he deserves much appreciation. Although having said that, I haven't heard Squeeze. I want it to be my favourite Velvet Underground album, so I might delude myself into liking it.

Actually it's that Lou reed quote that makes me appreciate Yule. He was also kept out of the hall of fame which the other members were put in. He just seems underappreciated, and I think it was because of the album squeeze (which was apparently made at the whim of a manager).

I've read about it, but I still haven't gotten around to listening to that album. gah. If he still feels that way about Yule, this could be a very interesting event.

Have you heard that interview with Reed from "American Poet" where the DJ asks him where Yule is and Reed replies, "Dead, I hope..."? Great stuff.

The change in direction isn't something I have a problem with--I like quite a lot of Lou Reed's solo work, which is often just as poppy as Loaded, if not even more so. I just don't think the material from the third and fourth albums is particularly impressive, aside from The Murder Mystery, but it's obviously a matter of personal taste. It doesn't help that I dislike Doug Yule's voice, I guess.

The polarization between Cale and Yule is fascinating. Sure the self-titled and "Loaded" are different (i.e., not avant-garde), but they are certainly not without their merits. By the way, to clarify my earlier comment, "WL/WH" is my favorite VU album, but I think the third (first without Cale) is also really good.
