Television - Marquee Moon
Released in 1977 as punk was beginning its dominance, Tom Verlaine introduced a more sensitive, elliptical approach coupled with a collective musical ability that stood out from the scene. Simultaneously pioneering the punk (to which it was seen as the first album) and new wave movements that were to follow the initial punk explosion, Marquee Moon was somewhat of an anomaly when released, never really garnering much initial success
