Tom Verlaine, who wrote most of the music on the band Television’s amazing “Marquee Moon,” reportedly died after a brief illness.
Tom Verlaine, the acclaimed vocalist-guitarist whose experimental art-rock band Television helped define the New York City punk scene in the ’70s, reportedly died on Saturday .
In particular, Television’s debut, 1977’s “Marquee Moon,” ranks among the greatest albums in rock history. But don’t just take our word on it. Ask the folks at VH1, which included “Marquee Moon” on its list of the 100 Greatest Albums of Rock and Roll, or at Rolling Stone, which ranked it as the 128th best album of all time.
Although it came out of same musical neighborhood as the early Ramones albums — and certainly had a punk-rock attitude and edge to it — “Marque Moon” was certainly anything but another dose of “Blitzkrieg Bop.” Instead, it owed more to jazz than Joey Ramone, as Verlaine locked horns with fellow brilliant guitarist Richard Lloyd to create jaggedly powerful slices of art-rock and improvisation-driven classics.
