    It was not until a decade later that the album started to receive almost unanimous praise by numerous rock critics, many of whom made particular note of its influence in modern rock music. In April 2003, Spin led their "Top Fifteen Most Influential Albums of All Time" list with the album.[16] On November 12, 2000, NPR included it in their "NPR 100" series of "the most important American musical works of the 20th century".[17]Rolling Stone placed it at number 13 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in November 2003, calling it "the most prophetic rock album ever made."[1]

    In 1997, Velvet Underground & Nico was named the 22nd greatest album of all time in a Music of the Millennium poll conducted in the United Kingdom by HMV Group, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. In his 1995 book, The Alternative Music Almanac, Alan Cross placed the album in the #1 spot on the list of '10 Classic Alternative Albums'. In 2006, Q magazine readers voted it into 42nd place in the "2006 Q Magazine Readers' 100 Greatest Albums Ever" poll, while The Observer placed it at number 1 in a list of "50 Albums That Changed Music"[18] in the July of that year. Also in 2006, the album was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best albums of all time.[19]

    The influence of the Velvet Underground on rock greatly exceeds their sales figures and chart numbers. They are one of the most important rock and roll bands of all time, laying the groundwork in the Sixties for many tangents rock music would take in ensuing decades. Yet just two of their four original studio albums ever even made Billboard’s Top 200, and that pair –Luck_The_Fakers_The Velvet Underground and NicoLuck_The_Fakers_(#171) andLuck_The_Fakers_White Light/White HeatLuck_The_Fakers_(#199) – only barely did so. If ever a band was “ahead of its time,” it was the Velvet Underground. Brian Eno, cofounder of Roxy Music and producer ofLuck_The_Fakers_U2Luck_The_Fakers_and others, put it best when he said that although the Velvet Underground didn’t sell many albums, everyone who bought one went on to form a band. The New York Dolls,Luck_The_Fakers_Patti Smith, theLuck_The_Fakers_Sex Pistols,Luck_The_Fakers_Talking Heads,Luck_The_Fakers_U2,Luck_The_Fakers_R.E.M., Roxy Music and Sonic Youth have all cited the Velvet Underground as a major influence.
    From The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame's website. Especially funny since you give the Hall do much value.

    Take away The Velvet Underground now what?
    You lose one of the more influential bands ever, as noted by many publications.

    Do you know who Jellyroll Morton was? When talking about historical.....we look far deeper than The Velvet Underground.

    Imagine reggae without Bob Marley.
    acting like VU doesn't qualify as historical.

    Lying idiot.

    You could write a book on the history of music and not even include them.
    Then you would be omitting an incredibly significant band.

    at me being lost

    Here's the facts:
    - You have given credence to Rolling Stone magazine.
    - You have given credence to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
    - Both groups have recognized The Velvet Underground as historically significant.

    So, do you disagree with them now?

    Hank Williams was still more influential. And he sucked.
