The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground was formed in New York City in 1964 as an experimental rock band. The members were Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison, Angus MacLise, and John Cale. They were later joined by Moe Tucker, and they were active from 1965 to 1973. For some time, they were managed by the talented pop artist Andy Warhol. Their debut album called The Velvet Ground and Nico didn’t enjoy much success, though Rolling Stone later described it as “the most prophetic rock album ever made.”

The White Stripes
The White Stripes was conceived in Detroit back in 1997, and it consisted of Jack White and Meg White. They first made a name for themselves in Detroit and later achieved mainstream success in 2002. The duo ended up redefining the garage rock subgenre! Their success came with the release of the album White Blood Cells. However, their most famous song is none other than “Seven Nation Army.” When they broke up in 2011, the band has released six albums and the latter half individually took home three Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music.
