The critically acclaimed debut album from the New York legends

Featuring "See No Evil," "Venus" and "Marquee Moon"

     One of the greatest guitar bands of all time. Widely considered one of rock's great debuts, Marquee Moon was Television's paean to garage rock done in revolutionary style. 

     Television were part of the late-'70s punk nucleus that put New York's CBGB club on the map. Driven by Tom Verlaine's raw-nerve songwriting and both his and Richard Lloyd's guitar playing — dual strands of slashing hooks and cathartic riffs — their music is spare yet structurally complex, artistic yet unpretentious. Among rock's true innovators, Television put a new face on punk and influenced everything from New Wave to jam-rock.

Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 107/500!
     An American rock band, formed in New York City in 1973, Television was part of the early '70s New York underground rock scene.

     The 1977 debut album by Television is often considered a seminal work to come out of the New York punk scene. However, the album differs from conventional punk in its clean, textured guitar-based arrangements. Due to this aspect, it is often cited as being important to the development of post-punk and New Wave genres.

     "...From the nervy opener, "See No Evil," to the majestic title track, there is simply not a bad song on the entire record. And what has kept Marquee Moon fresh over the years is how Television flesh out Verlaine's poetry into sweeping sonic epics." - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic.com

     "'Marquee Moon' is Television's guitar epic; Verlaine and Richard Lloyd stretch out for 10 minutes of urban paranoia. 'I would play until something happened,' Verlaine said. 'That comes from jazz, or even the Doors, or the Five Live Yardbirds album — that kinda rave-up dynamics.'" - Rolling Stone

Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

     Marquee Moon is a revolutionary album, but it's a subtle, understated revolution. Without question, it is a guitar rock album -- it's astonishing to hear the interplay between Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd -- but it is a guitar rock album unlike any other. Where their predecessors in the New York punk scene, most notably the Velvet Underground, had fused blues structures with avant-garde flourishes, Television completely strip away any sense of swing or groove, even when they are playing standard three-chord changes. Marquee Moon is comprised entirely of tense garage rockers that spiral into heady intellectual territory, which is achieved through the group's long, interweaving instrumental sections, not through Verlaine's words. That alone made Marquee Moon a trailblazing album -- it's impossible to imagine post-punk soundscapes without it. Of course, it wouldn't have had such an impact if Verlaine hadn't written an excellent set of songs that conveyed a fractured urban mythology unlike any of his contemporaries. From the nervy opener, "See No Evil," to the majestic title track, there is simply not a bad song on the entire record. And what has kept Marquee Moon fresh over the years is how Television flesh out Verlaine's poetry into sweeping sonic epics.
