Despite its poor sales, the distorted, feedback-driven, and roughly recorded sound on White Light/White Heat became a notable influence on punk music and experimental rock.[13] As an example of the album's influence on punk music, British rock band Buzzcocks formed loosely after members followed an advertisement looking for musicians who could collaborate on a "Sister Ray" cover.[14]
In 2003, the album was ranked number 293 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, alongside other releases by the group.
