The sound is electrifying – Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd weave intricate melodies and counter-melodies on their guitars, creating a tapestry of sound that’s both beautiful and edgy. Drummer Billy Ficca and bassist Fred Smith lay down a tight, propulsive rhythm section that keeps the whole thing moving forward. Marquee Moon established Television as a major force in alternative rock, influencing countless bands that followed. It’s an album that continues to sound fresh and exciting decades after its release.
