not a bad song on here; plenty of catchy hooks; incredible guitar work. Nowhere near the greatest album ever, but the title track might be one of the best songs ever recorded

huh, never knew that.

Just wanna say I think he's one of the best actors ever (top 5 definitely). These stupid ass youtube montages that have become so popular in the last 2 years don't give him credit for just how good he is.

oh and....Marquee Moon is of course fantastic . One of those albums that everyone loves I guess (which is always nice).

This could very well be the best album of all time.

Not a bad song here. It might be my favourite guitar album of all time.

This is one of those albums that leaves you breathless throughout. It's intelligent without being pretentious, incisive but simultaneously convoluted, complex yet simple, nuerotic but ordered, psychedelic yet postmodern. A masterpiece, indeed.

Seconded, but the title track is immense too.

No words to describe this album, each single note is just what it should've been. i just don't get why this is not in the top 20 at least.

Their second, Adventure, is good, but nowhere near as good as this (not easy, mind you). It's got this little beauty :

My favourite Television song. The guitar melody is incredible.

I don't know their third album, but the fourth, when Television came back in 1992, is excellent. So I'd say :

Marquee Moon > Television > Adventure.

Marquee Moon is a masterpiece. My favourite song off it is "Venus".

This album finally clicked with me (on third listen or so)

The title track has become one of my favourite songs of all time. See No Evil, Friction & Elevation are also great.

90/100

F R I C T I O N is really an underrated track on this masterpiece. I rarely read anything about it. It's witty and full of hooks.

Really love this album too. A great album to play along with for a young guitarist who just wants something to jam with. It is sophisticated as Pam said, but without being pretentious or overbearing. The title track is spectacular, I've always been very fond of Prove It too.

Happy 500

Incredible album

I believe "sophisticated" is the buzz word for this album?
