While commonly associated with the punk rock movement of the era, Television’s sound was anything but punk, driven by Lloyd and frontman Tom Verlaine ’s intricate and virtuosic soloing, unusual song structures and Verlaine’s low-key and deadpan vocals. The band’s classic 1977 album “Marquee Moon” is a defining document of the era, including such oft-covered songs as “See No Evil” and the nearly 11-minute title track and casting a vast influence on future alternative rockers like R.E.M.

Ironically, Television, which formed in 1973, were the band to initiate the Lower Manhattan club CBGB, which proved to be the key incubator for punk rock.

According to legend, Verlaine and Lloyd were walking past the venue, saw owner Hilly Kristal outside and asked what kind of music the venue would feature. Told “Country, Bluegrass and Blues,” hence the club’s title, the pair replied that their band played something like that (it did not).
