During that time the band released five studio albums and the best-charting album was a debut one featuring German singer Nico and titled The Velvet Underground and Nico. It peaked at number 171 on the Billboard charts. Despite the fact of being in underground, the Rolling Stone magazine put the band on the 19th position in its list of 100 Greatest Artists of all time.
