I'M WAITING FOR MY DUBS

Their next album is pretty good

where do we go from here?

Led Zeppelin's discography.

everything else that has released by them that isn't called squeeze

Who the fuck starts rock with Velvet Underground?
Also, OP, rock is a genre than can mean 50 different kinds of rock. The Beatles and the Dead Kennedys are both rock. You should put a word before rock so people know what period you're talking about. Classic, psychedelic, punk, whatever.

Velvet falls under the first couple categories so I guess logically next you check out other 60s rock (which in my opinion is as good as the genre ever got)

Beatles, Kinks, Byrds, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Buffalo Springfield, CCR, Bob Dylan, Doors, Zombies, Beach Boys

Excellent response, but The Velvet Underground is fantastic place to start with music in general. The importance and quality of this album makes a must listen for anyone.

I guess my surprise was more based on the fact that Velvet is a pretty obscure rock band compared to the stuff that is usually on classic rock radio, and so it's harder to start with them because usually you'd already have been exposed to a lot of rock. I have nothing against the Velvet.

Depends where you want to go:
>If you're looking for something more noisy: Iggy Pop
>Similar to Velvet/Lou Reed: David Bowie
>Looking for something heavy: Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin
>More psychedelic: The Doors, Hendrix, Joplin, Jefferson Airplane
>More Folksy: Bob Dylan; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (or just Neil Young's solo stuff)


These are pretty much the household names, obviously once you get past these, you'll find your tastes and proceed to dig deeper from there.
