Television - Marquee Moon .gif) By Percy Keegan
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."
