"Television: Marquee Moon" is a seminal album released in 1977, marking a significant moment in the evolution of punk and alternative rock. The record is known for its intricate guitar work, poetic lyrics, and innovative structure that diverged from the typical punk sound of its era. The album features tracks that have been widely acclaimed for their musicianship and influence on subsequent generations of musicians. Among the notable tracks are "See No Evil," which opens the album with energetic riffs and an infectious chorus; "Venus," with its angular guitar lines; and "Friction," which showcases the band's tight interplay. The title track, "Marquee Moon," is a highlight, featuring an extended guitar solo that has been celebrated for its technical proficiency and melodic inventiveness. Other tracks such as "Elevation," "Guiding Light," "Prove It," and "Torn Curtain" contribute to the album's depth and complexity. The inclusion of "Little Johnny Jewel" pays homage to the band's earlier work, while an "Untitled Instrumental" offers a glimpse into Television's creative process. The album has been reissued with bonus tracks, providing additional content for fans and collectors.

Television vydali v roce 1977 debutové album "Marquee Moon", kterého se sice v USA prodalo méně než 80 000 kusů a ve Velké Británii se sotva dostalo do první třicítky, ale které je obecně považováno za jedno z klíčových alb punkové éry.

Recenze
F. Schöler ve Stereo 3/88: "Často napodobované mistrovské dílo americké nové rockové vlny, konečně v odpovídajícím převodu."
"'Marquee Moon' je solidní soubor písní plných úzkosti, ale pátravá kytarová hra a ostrý, znepokojivý tón jej činí nesmazatelným. Titulní skladba je skutečně tour de force: 'Marquee Moon' vytváří duchovní spojení mezi virtuozitou ve stylu Allman Brothers a introspekcí Velvet Underground. Nic podobného v rocku neexistuje."
