Television's Marquee Moon in 5 Minutes 

'77 was one fucking hell of a year for music.

I love how every image they have totally different guitars.

One of the greatest albums in 70's

Without Television indie music today would not be the same

One of the most influential albums in rock

While Bowie invented the 80's decade with the album Low, Television already predated the 2000's garage rock scene with Marquee Moon.

Guiding light is like one of the best songs ever

The best part about Friction is the guitar work being laid out on the track. Its like a machine flawlessly repeating that thumpy "Pipeline-esque" open note riff and then stretches down into that treble scale conveyer belt of notes until it reaches the guitar solo where this indestructible machine sounds as its malfunctioning

the definition of guitar magic.

probably the strokes main influence

I heard that she likes to dance around the room, to a worn out 12" of Marquee Moon.

Rest Easy Tom Verlaine.

One of my favorite albums and Marquee Moon might be my favorite tracks of all time.

Didn't know about Eno, intresting.

Perhaps the best album of '77 and the title track of Marquee Moon, especially during the year of schlock ballads." Marquee Moon" is the perfect antidote to "You Light Up My Life" and "Sometimes When We Touch", released the same year!

One of the most important bands not many have heard.

Rip Verlaine. You'll be missed, legend

Underrated band, amazing Television band. Without this 1977 record, maybe The Strokes wouldn't exist

one of THE greatest albums ever.....

Good job on the John Cipollina reference.

Love television

Their second album is arguably as good, if you give it a chance.

The record that blew my mind when first hearing it. My parents had the best record collection a kid growing up in the 89's and 99's could want.

They were so ahead of their time

why are there no more of these? there are an endless # of albums to do one on. so what is the problem?

The Mars Volta also owes them money

love the album so much i learnt to play it all on my uke

This was awesome. Thank you.

A fine album. There ingenuity remains unmatched. What an excellent crew.

I love this album.

Great video and info! It was a pleasure finding out about this band. Also great narration by Jesse Jarnow.

I have gotten tired of all of the punk groups of that era, the only album that I still listen to is Marquee Moon as it's so well executed, perfect and still sounds fresh and new. It's a perfect album, #1 of the albums of the seventies. I like how Pitchford compares the sound to Quicksilver messenger service! Great reference. I also think about the 2 last tracks on the Allman brother bands Fillmore East live record, "In memory of Elizabeth Lane" and "Whipping post". I also love Adventure, if Marquee Moon is 10/10 Adventure is 9/10

their best album ! the thrilling band combination sound is just great !

67 and 77 are the two best years for music period.

I can't believe how ahead of their time in style they were. Very New York rock.

Best fucking album

RIP Tom Verlaine

RIP Tom

greatest album ever recorded

This album is a triumph of humanity.

fantastic album

RIP Tom Verlaine

RIP Tom Verlaine… ✞

Love.

REST IN PEACE TOM VERLAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Good video!

Uno de los pilares de la música alternativa actual

So important...

Tom Verlaine always reminded me of Thomas Mars

Television walked so that The Strokes ran.

I'd never heard of this band when a co-worker in the 90s just randomly lent me Marquee Moon-- I hadn't even ask to borrow the vinyl album. I must have played that title track a hundred times. My friend had to demand his album back. Miss you Willie.

I wonder if the members of Interpol knew about Television. They sound so familiar.

Can't believe i made it to my mid 30s and had never even heard of this

I look scarily like Richard Lloyd in this album cover.

Sad loss.

RIP Tom.

best.album.of .evers.

GOAT

RIP tom

Do Lou Reed's "Street Hassle"!

When I got this album it broke the record for the amount of days I listened to a new record ... 42

while i really like this record i have to say that Moon might be a little bit too good of a song for its own good,it completelly overshadows the rest of the songs on the album and makes them look like appetizers before the big dinner

Thanks for being fair-minded about such a great band.

BEST FUCKIN BAND

Still incredibly underrated in my opinion lol

Original punk rock.

you either get it or you don't

WHERE CAN I GET THE BRIAN ENO BOOTLEGS?!!

Life in the hive puckered up my night….

Accurate.

Can I have all of television’s guitars please?

Pitchfork's got a real hard-on for the New York scene. How about some more West Coast stuff?

Greatest electric guitar album of all time

Please Heaven or las Vegas!!

Imo-The connection between the Dead and Television- is Jazz and Miles.

Why no-one talked about it?

Why didn't they talk about the second side of the record at all? Yeesh.

song at 2:00 ? and 2:42 ?

Did he say Grateful Bed?

It was Glenn... Glenn Johns

2:00 whats the song called?

No se ingles 😅

Yo soy Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria 4:10

Makes Led Zepplin look boring, awesome album, Torn Curtain is one of the best!

Españollll

Am i the only one who that this was gonna be an edited down version to be 5 mins instead of 10??? hahah

Better than Ramones

FFS millenials...listen to the album! Not everything can be cut down to 5 minutes .

How does it help anyone to cover one of the greatest albums of all time in five minutes? People new to the band aren't hearing anything interesting enough to hook them. Everyone who knows this album aren't hearing anything they don't already know.

Every once in awhile Pitchfork has to pretend that it still has any punk rock credibility.

Were they really that good ? Maybe the speed freak stare on the cover actually sold the album more than the songs ...

Joey is a 8.0 at worst

Hi everyone, we're a band called Stookvogel. We've been recording some of our music lately, and we'd really appreciate it if you check it out.

One of the greatest albums of all time

RIP Tom Verlaine
