Comments for Television, Marquee Moon

An incredible record, especially for the time. Side One is among the finest acheivements in rock music history. It's like the Byrds combined with Patti Smith but much more intense. "Poetry in rock".

The single most important and influential album of the 70's.

Perhaps the greatest album ever... ahead of VU, Beatles, etc. buy it.

The title track alone is worth the price of admission. It became my favourite song of all time when I first heard it at Phantasmagoria''s in Montreal the year of its release. I was seventeen, disillusioned, without cash or girlfriend. It took me away to another place. Many, many, many marquee moons later, it''s still my life''s anthem. Hardly a week goes by where I don''t play it. It still sounds as inventive, trippy and rewarding as it did upon first listen. the true mark of a classic. Essential!
