For anyone unfamiliar with Television, they’re pretty much responsible for really getting the NYC punk scene moving. CBGB was struggling when Television acted as a catalyst to make that venue legendary.
Heartbreaking. I went to see Joe Jackson with my mom and he ended the show with covers from Marquee Moon. Got my mom into Television that night. Listening to Marquee Moon in his honor >

will have to do the same... that album's in my top 3 of all time. >

It was the first album I listened to this morning. Out of curiosity, what are the other two in your top 3? >

hah, well it's kind of a nebulous "top 3", but I'd probably put Momus' Circus Maximus up there, too. maybe Mayo Thompson's Corky's Debt To His Father. What about you? i could use something new to check out. >

I am the same way, I don't really have a favorite album. Lately I've been getting pretty into experimental german stuff from the 70s (especially Neu, CAN, Popol Vuh, and Cluster), Sonic Youth's SYR series, and Sun Ra.
That said, three albums that made a big impact on my life are the first Meat Puppets album, Gluey Porch Treatments by Melvins, and Kleenex/LiLiPut.
Rembrandt Pussyhorse by Butthole Surfers deserves an honorable mention, especially if the songs from the Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis songs are included.
I am not really into making lists and any conversation I have about my "favorite" albums tends to get pretty incoherent pretty fucking fast. >

You from Seattle? >

haha no. >

Damn. That guy came up with such interesting guitar parts. >

Local radio station played the full 11+ minute version of Marquee Moon in his honor this morning. Amazing track. The music lives on, RIP >

Every punk DJ’s favorite trick to get a smoke break or just get away from the tables for more than a few minutes! >

"Little Johnny Jewel" was the first punk rock record that Greg Ginn (Black Flag) owned. The importance of Television really cannot be understated. >

RIP. Marquee Moon is a helluva album. >

I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo >

I listened to Marquee Moon last night after hearing the news >

Marquee Moon is such an underrated gem of an album. Not a bad song on it, and the guitar work and lyrics just mesh together so perfectly. There's nothing else quite like it. >

But what show on TV was he on? >

Perhaps you are trying to be funny, but I genuinely wondered.
The band's name was Television.
