Well. Aren't Velvet Underground basically a Genghis Khan of 20th century western music, as in 95% of people who attended their shows started a band, and roughly 37% of contemporary bands carry their DNA? :)

That said, baity title but the subtitle is better in terms of Roxy not really sounding like anyone before (or since). Also grateful that the universe allowed Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno to occupy the same space long enough to make choice music without collapsing into a singularity.
