''Marquee Moon'' was a massive critical favorite, finishing in third in the Village Voice's 1977 Pazz & Jop poll behind ''Music/NeverMindTheBollocksHeresTheSexPistols'' and Music/ElvisCostello's ''My Aim Is True''. Strong reviews and a successful tour alongside Music/{{Blondie}} made a UK hit of the album, but stateside things went differently as a tour alongside ProgressiveRock stalwart Music/PeterGabriel had the band well out of its element, gathering very little steam before Elektra Records pulled support.

* PostPunk: Like punk rock, their harmonies eschewed traditional rock and blues. But their complex arrangements and extended jamming also eschewed punk's ThreeChordsAndTheTruth attitude. Interestingly, this album came out six months before ''[[Music/NeverMindTheBollocksHeresTheSexPistols Never Mind the Bollocks]]'' did. In other words, post-punk was well underway even before punk hit the mainstream.

He assumed that Television hired him for the huge, compressed drum sound that was his trademark, so he set the drums up for that sound before the band arrived at the studio. When Television arrived, they had to convince him that they hired him for the ''guitar sounds'' from the albums he produced--and that they wanted no compression or reverb on the drums.
