Music sounds good, everybody has their tastes.

You've probably heard more than that and didn't even realize it. The Velvet Underground is one of the most covered bands ever. Just from the top of my head, I know the following musicians have covered them:
David Bowie, U2, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Duran Duran, Joy Division...
...and lesser acts like Blind Melon, Beastie Boys, Beck, Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Billy Idol, Phish, the Bangles (lol), The Pixies, Garbage, Ween, Nick Cave, Tori Amos, Patti Smith, Cowboy Junkies (love their version of "Sweet Jane")... the list goes on and on.
