Number 5 on the list. Of the two people where it is well known that they saw the Velvet Underground live a bunch of times and that started bands that you have heard of (Jamie Klimek and Mirrors is the more underground of the two - more Cleveland, and, therefore, less well-known), Jonathan Richman is the one that people know the most. I don't want to say that Jonathan Richman dumbed down the Velvets but he definitely added some sugar and removed the darker vibe. This is the record with "Roadrunner" on it. You probably know this one.
