The Velvet Underground est un groupe musical de rock américain, originaire de New York. Formé au milieu des années 1960, il est lié à l'aventure de la Factory d'Andy Warhol qui l'a produit. D'abord connu des seuls milieux « Culture underground|underground » new-yorkais, son influence n'a cessé de croître après sa dissolution. Il a beaucoup influencé David Bowie, qui, à ses débuts, chante des reprises du Velvet dans des clubs.Principalement composé de Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison, John Cale, Maureen Tucker|Moe Tucker et temporairement de Nico (chanteuse)|Nico, le groupe a connu, malgré sa brève existence, une grande fertilité musicale. Les thèmes abordés reflètent l'univers de la Factory, dans lequel le groupe gravite : Drogue#Opposition drogues douces et dures|drogues dures, thèmes Bondage et discipline, domination et soumission, sado-masochisme|sadomasochistes, ou encore homosexualité|homosexuels.

In 1966, the pop artist Andy Warhol became their manager. They served as the house band at Warhol's studio, the Factory, and his traveling multimedia show, the ''Exploding Plastic Inevitable'', from 1966 to 1967. Their debut album, ''The Velvet Underground & Nico,'' featuring the German singer and model Nico, was released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor sales but later drew widespread acclaim.[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-156826/the-velvet-underground-and-nico-the-velvet-underground-52023/ RS 500 Greatest Albums] November 18, 2003.[https://web.archive.org/web/20060316135338/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/6597640/13_the_velvet_underground/ 13-The Velvet Underground and Nico] Rolling Stone, November 1, 2003 They released three more albums: the abrasive ''White Light/White Heat'' (1968, and the more accessible albums ''The Velvet Underground (album)|The Velvet Underground'' (1969) and ''Loaded (The Velvet Underground album)|Loaded'' (1970, with Doug Yule replacing Cale on the latter two. None performed to the expectations of record labels or Reed, the band's leader. However, like the band's debut, all albums later achieved critical acclaim. In the early 1970s, all but Yule left the band. Yule led an abortive UK tour in 1973, and released a final album under the Velvet Underground name, ''Squeeze (The Velvet Underground album)|Squeeze'' (1973, recorded mostly by Yule with session musicians, before the band dissolved shortly after. The former band members collaborated on each other's solo work throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and a retrospective "rarities" album, ''VU (album)|VU'', was released in 1985. Reed, Cale, Tucker and Morrison reunited for a series of well-received shows in 1993, and released a live album from the tour, ''Live MCMXCIII'', later that year.
