How big an influence were The Kinks, Velvet Underground on BB - LIB?

Maybe it is just Mick's delivery but on at least a few songs on Banuqet and Bleed, I can honestly see the song being sung just as easily by Lou Reed. Specifically, YCAGWYW has a Lou Reed meets Dylan vibe to me. Monkey Man, the vocal delivery and lyricism reminds me of the Velvet Underground; Stray Cat Blues is pretty easy to imagine Lou Reed singing. Jig-Saw Puzzle is very much a Dylan number with a bit of Lou Reed style delivery.

I'm curious if anyone has picked up on these or felt similarly?

Reply #1 - Jun 20^th, 2024 at 3:26pm I just know that Mick has said stray cat blues was very much influenced by a Lou Reed song (think it was "heroin").
