Marquee Moon (1977) is the debut album by Television, a cornerstone of the New York CBGB scene.

Blending post-punk and art rock, it stands out for the interwoven guitars of Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd, full of melodic motifs and soaring solos, built around long, hypnotic song structures. Tracks like “See No Evil,” “Friction,” and the 10-minute title piece “Marquee Moon” showcase a sound that’s both tense and poetic, merging punk urgency with musical sophistication.

Widely regarded as a foundational indie rock album, it has influenced generations of post-punk and indie bands.
