Marquee Moon Poster
Television was one of the most creative bands to emerge from New York's punk scene of the mid-'70s, creating an influential guitar vocabulary. Guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd didn't follow the accepted rock structures for improvisation; they removed the blues while retaining the raw energy of garage rock, adding complex solo lines that recalled both jazz & rock. With its angular rhythms and fluid leads, Television's music always went in unconventional directions, laying the groundwork for many of the guitar-based post-punk pop groups of the late '70s and '80s. This, their debut album, was a UK Top 10 Hit and remains one of the most influential rock recordings of the late 20th Century. Out-of-print on vinyl for many years, this is now available on 180 gram vinyl with gatefold sleeve.A classic bit of punk rock from 1977, that classic year of punk. Whereas most of this New York City group's peers turned up the distortion, revved up the tempo, and stripped their songs down to tight three-chord anthems, Television did something startlingly different. Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd allowed themselves the space to develop clean, powerful, unexpected guitar leads. To top it off, Verlaine's songs were thought-provoking, memorable, danceable, and unlike anything else going. "Prove It" was the hit in England, but independent radio stations wore the grooves down on the title cut, "See No Evil," and the stunningly brilliant "Friction." --Percy Keegan
