To be fair, they were both cantankerous sons of bitches. And you could make a pretty good case that MMM was an attempt to rip-off/expand upon Cale's Sun Blindness Music.
I love them both, but I think Lou often gets credited with a lot of Cale's achievements. Even V.U.'s folkier direction wasn't entirely Cale-free, considering he was there for cuts like Stephanie Says.
