...The Velvet Underground & Nico.
Virtually each song on the record spawned an entire rock and roll genre
Without this record, all of the following genres/artists would either (1) not have existed at all, or else (2) they would look and sound different, and in most cases, quite significantly different.
- Punk,
- Grunge/Nirvana
- 80’s alternative (REM, Replacements, Dinosaur jr –U2?--)
- 90’s alternative (Radiohead, Sound Garden etc )
- David Bowie
- New wave
- Post punk
- Sonic Youth/noise-art rock
- Goth
- Alternative synthpop ie New Order/Depeche Mode
- Shoegaze
- Trance
- Too many others than I feel bothered to list
