What I’ve Been Listening To: Vol. 1, P.7

Television – Marquee Moon (1977)
Marquee Moon is a great album. It was totally different when it was released in ‘77 and it’s still different today. Great albums seem to standout as different and special no matter how much time goes buy and how much music evolves. I guess that’s one sign of an albums greatness [...]
