Television
Television
is an American rock band, formed in New York City in 1973. They are best known
for the album Marquee Moon (1977). They have been credited as highly
influential on guitar based post punk. Television was part of the early 1970s
New York underground rock scene, along with bands like the Patti Smith Group,
The Ramones, Blondie, Richard Hell and The Voidoids, and Talking Heads. In
contrast to the Ramones' rock 'n' roll minimalism, Television's music was more
complex and more technically proficient, defined by guitarists Tom Verlaine and
Richard Lloyd.
