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.

Marquee Moon is widely considered as one of rock’s great debuts and 2012 sees its 35th anniversary of influencing and leading the way for many bands to come.
