honestgabe Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Velvet Underground weren't part of the Punk/Post punk wave, since they broke up waaay before that happened...they were certainly influential as were Lou Reed and John Cale, former members of VU. I watched it last night on the webcast and it was great to see her accept the award. Shes wonderful, Horses is an incredible album. Zack de la Rocha's induction speech was great and highlighted why she is incredibly important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Besides The Ramones, Blondie, and VU from time to time - I am not really down with that whole NY punk/post punk stuff in general. Maybe that's what my deal is - You ever check out Television? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
honestgabe Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Television, you know that song by Wilco that its named after and influenced by...kicking television. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I know VU is not whatever that dude said - I ment NY bands in general I suppose. There are those who feel Lou Reed is the father of punk rock. You ever check out Television? Yes - not my cup of tea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I finally got around to watching the R&RHOF show last night...still don't get the Patti Smith thing. It was nice to see the 4 guys from REM back on stage together again though...and especially nice that they played "Gardening at Night". Oh, and Ronnie Spector's voice is only a shadow of its former greatness, and that actually made me sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
