Look, Television influenced nearly EVERYONE, from U2 to R.E.M. to the Pixies to just about every indie band of the last 30 years. So even if someone wasn't influenced by them directly, they were influenced by them via someone else that Television influenced. It is just ludicrous that they still aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Nor is Big Star. Until those two bands get in the R&R HOF will remain a joke.

Tom Verlaine is one of the great guitarists , no question..and "Marquee Moon" is one of the greatest lps ( and songs) of all time ..I dare anyone, new to the brilliance of Television to listen to that record from beginning to end..The experience will leave you in awe and you will listen to The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party, U2.( the list is endless) and think to yourself "Fuck , .I won't listen to another ignorant twat who tells me the Strokes have created the new rock"

Never thought they were all that great. The Cars have this sound down so much better.

they influenced the most important influential rock band in Spanish rock history, Soda Stereo, so yeah, I have to agree.

@heinzpo This may have actually been the last gig they did as Television.. it was supposed to be all the suriving members at this show, but Richard Lloyd ended up in the hospital last minute

@TheGreatGallbo No, it wasn't their last gig. In 2011, they did a couple of gigs in Brazil. There are a few videos of these shows on YouTube as a 3-part interview with MTV Brazil. During this interview there was even talk of a new album. Richard Lloyd has left the band though. Jimmy Rip has taken his place.

@asSwanski Thanks for the heads up... I'll have to look for those vids. This was easily one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I've seen way too many to count.

yes yes yes, it was begining of June, 2007 just to put a period on all this conversation about the date. I shot the video, and the date I posted it was a week or so after the show.
