Television - Marque Moon
 
I'm not going to start by saying this is a highly under-rated album, mostly because it gets the praise it deserves. Not over-hyped, just respected. But Trasher02's sig jumpstarted me to pull it out and give it it's first listen in a long time, and I had forgotten how much I do like it. It's simple rock not so far beyond everything else music was doing at it's time, but just with it's own twist to make it stand out after all these years.

Just an amazing album. The song Marque Moon itself is just about as good as it gets. That bit near the end when you think its finished but the drum beat comes back in and the bass and guitar join in... I love it.

The song Marquee Moon is certainly one of the greatest moments in rock music.

I have to say, I think Elevation is the best song on the album, in my opinion anyway.

My favourite albums tend to change depending on my mood, but this is always there. An evergreen classic.

An album that's on my list to purchase. I'll hang out for a vinyl copy though, unless I find it cheap on cd.

SonicSam 07.31.2007 05:37 PM

I paid £6 for it on vinyl, so it can't be too hard to come by.

Great, great record! "Venus" and "Elevation" are underrated gems. And Tom Verlaine's solo on "Prove It" makes me want to cry.

In my opinion they have better songs, but it's true that Little Johnny Jewel kicks ass (especially the version on the Blow-up).

I wouldn't say their best song, but maybe their best solo. Verlaine has an amazing lead style. Part Neil Young and part outer space.
