Velvet Underground & Nico je debitantski album američkog rock benda Velvet Underground , objavljen u ožujku 1967. godine od strane Verve Recordsa . U pratnji pjevačice Nica , album je snimljen 1966. godine, dok je grupa predstavljena na Andy Warholovoj eksplozivnoj plastičnoj neizbježnoj multimedijalnoj turneji koja je privukla pozornost na eksperimentalne performanse i kontroverzne lirske teme, uključujući zlouporabu droga , prostituciju , sadizam i mazohizam I seksualnu devijantnost .
Iako je rekord bio komercijalni neuspjeh nakon objavljivanja i gotovo ga zanemareni suvremenim kritičarima, Velvet Underground & Nico sada je široko priznat kao jedan od najvećih i najutjecajnijih albuma u povijesti popularne glazbe . To je 13. mjesto na listi Rolling Stone magazina od 500 najvećih albuma svih vremena a knjižnica je dodana u Registar nacionalnih zapisa 2006. godine. Godine 1982. glazbenik i producent Brian Eno slavno su izjavili da, iako je album u početku prodao samo 30.000 primjeraka, "svi koji su kupili jednu od tih 30.000 primjeraka započeli su bend". Žanrovi koji su bili značajno informirani albumom uključuju umjetničku rock , punk , garažu , grunge , shoegaze , gothic , indie i većinu drugih oblika alternativne glazbe .
