Cale was a classically trained musician and, umm - Welsh.

They're no Kasabian, granted.

The Doors. Another one of the major bands of my formative years.

If ever a band were style over substance it’s The Velvet Underground....I bet if you put a gun to most people’s head their brains would be all over the floor as they’d never name three songs by them ...And that’s being generous

Aye most people, people who have the first clue about good music however.......

Velvet Underground should be final contenders. This is terrible business.

Love both. Abstaining.

I never liked the Doors that much growing up. I was wrong. A fucking superb band and clear winners here for el Chimpo.

That's hardly fair - Lou Reed is one of the great American songwriters you can hardly accuse them of having no substance. 

 

There's the old saying about the Velvet Underground - not a lot of people listened to them, but those who did all started bands.

Tough draw. I was going to think long and hard about who I would vote for but then I saw the current polling and realised it would be wasted time

The answer is The Doors. Not only because the Doors are superb but lets face it, The Velvet Underground are a bit shit really. 

Voted Doors but this wasn't shit, in fact probably in my top 20 all time albums
