Straight out the dungeons of CBGB’s, Television sculpted a new guitar sound that paved the way for alternative rock, post-punk, new wave, noise and indie (and nu-metal and art rock and grunge and so much more).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTom Verlaine (vocals, guitar), Billy Ficca (Drums), Fred Smith (bass) and Richard Lloyd (Guitar) shunned the power chords of their contemporaries for intricate, entangled, back and forth guitar melodies, jazzy drumming and romantic language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album starts with \u003cem\u003eSee No Evil\u003c\/em\u003e, their most urgent song on the album. A punk flavoured red herring before the dream lyrics of \u003cem\u003eVenus\u003c\/em\u003e and the jazz-blues guitars on \u003cem\u003eFriction\u003c\/em\u003e. Side A ends with the unavoidable opus, Marquee Moon, a 10 minute odyssey of urban paranoia which includes 2 guitar solos (that’s longer than \u003cem\u003eFree Bird\u003c\/em\u003e by Lynyrd Skynyrd). On Side B, \u003cem\u003eGuiding Light\u003c\/em\u003e has all the building blocks of an alt-rock ballad, and \u003cem\u003eProve It\u003c\/em\u003e is their art-rock manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTelevision’s jaded yet impassioned attitude, high-brow yet lo-fi approach, warm yet jagged sound has gone on to influence so many that it would be a fool’s errand to try to distill them into one line. Instead, stop and listen to the primary post-punk album. An album that prophesied the death of punk before it had even started (\u003cem\u003eMarquee Moon\u003c\/em\u003e came out 9 months before \u003cem\u003eNever Mind The Bollocks...\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eFRcpv jVXatZ\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sc-cYYuRe llWwEf\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Television","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57432418582859,"sku":"603497840052","price":4.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/6169\/9915\/files\/Marquee_Moon.png?v=1779705763","url":"https:\/\/vinylvintage.shop\/products\/marquee-moon-clear-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
