Known as a monumental figurehead for the band Television, their 1977 landmark debut album Marquee Moon (and it's subsequent 10+ minute title track) was listed in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time at #107. After Television first disbanded in 1978, Tom went on to have a prolific solo career with several albums.

Tom Verlaine was one of most underrated/forgotten reinventors of rock as a musical genre. Marquee Moon is the ground zero for everything that gets categorized as post-punk these days.
RIP.
