Television

[the thread]

I performed a search for a thread on this seminal punk band and nothing came up. This forum, hell this entire site needs more Television and less shitty pop rock bands. Marquee Moon is an absolute masterpiece.

[Osto]

Marquee Moon is amazing. One of my favorite older records. Too bad nothing else they put out came close.

[the thread]

Adventure, for what its worth is a really solid album. Its just unfortunate that it had to follow up such an amazing album. It just can't compare

[Osto]

One negative thing that I can say about Marquee Moon and Television in general is that their vocals are really annoying. They get a pass because their music is about the guitars, not the vocals.

[versus_god]

Awesome band. It took me a while to realize just how great they were.

[SanePsychotic]

Never really bothered with this band. I should listen to some of their stuff just so I can have more background on punk in general.

[versus_god]

Marquee Moon is essential punk listening material.

[the thread]

not that they are comparable at all, but everyone blows loads about how important the shitty sex pistols were. honestly, Television should be the band people look for. Its a lot more challenging of a listen, but so much more rewarding. there is so much more to this band than simply just punk. genius.

[IWasaCamera]

Been playing the hell out of Marquee Moon and Adventure lately.

[Osto]

Haven't listened to these guys in forever. Ima go do that.

[Robototron]

I love Television, and Verlaine's vocals. Anyone listened to his solo stuff? I liked the album he released a few years ago, but that's all I've heard.

[IWasaCamera]

His first two solo outings (self-titled and Dreamtime) are actually quite good.

I'm loving Marquee Moon right now, hence the avatar.

[chipdip18]

I got Marquee Moon on a whim, and it's pretty dang tasty.

[seraph1214]

Marquee Moon is an amazing album. Think I'm gonna listen to it now.

[Genuma]

Color me interested.

[chipdip18]

Then give it a try.

[AlternateToLife]

I'm a fan. Pretty great.

These cold wild seas have left us turning
But I sleep light on these shores tonight
I live light on these shores

Bumpity bump.

Marquee Moon is one of the best abums ever, have been consistently listening to it every day for the last three months, same with Adventure although I don't give it as many spins.

Verlaines early solo stuff is so good as well

[IntoTheSun]

Marquee Moon was really good upon first listen. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed it.

I'm not.

"I like anything anyone else likes"

Hey. Hey.Huh.

[BadRomance]

Marquee Moon is an excellent album. Though I do really enjoy Adenture, an underrated album IMO

[IntoTheSun]

"I like anything anyone else likes"

Hey. Hey.Huh.

How do you mean?

Edit: Sigh, no answer. At least Cuddles would play along, dammit.

Andrea definitley does not like Taylor Swift. It keeps me up nights. Crying....teardrops on my guitar.

Lol, I do like that one song she sings.

[cshadows2887]

Lol, I do like that one song she sings.

Which one? The one about a boy she "loved" who cheated on her but she's better than that?

[IntoTheSun]

No, I think you're thinking of an album.

[cshadows2887]

No, I think you're thinking of an album.

Haha. Some day you will join the dark side. If it's the last thing I do...

[IWasaCamera]

Band still rules.

[IntoTheSun]

Band still rules.

Yep. Friction has been my jam all day.

[blebbio]

[FullCollaspe]

Great band

[cshadows2887]

Very much in a Marquee Moon mood.

[IWasaCamera]

Adventure seldom gets any love. Needs to change.

[Starbursting]

Found a Marquee Moon record in my basement a few days ago.

[DMc1616]

I know these guys get compared to Television a lot - http://themiddleeight.bandcamp.com/album/its-on-tonight-single. I just listened to this single; not quite as punky, and a bit darker, but still a valid comparison I think.

[ilikesound93]

Marquee Moon blew my fragile fifteen year old mind.

[chipdip18]

C'mon people!
