Sister Ray was one of the songs that inspired Mark E Smith to form a band. To name only one recent Fall song, '50 Year Old Man', the guitar part is lifted wholesale from the Velvets. I don't hear VU too much in Loop myself, more Can and The Stooges. They were undoubtedly a big influence on them, though.
