American band formed in 1973 in New York during the birth of punk and having a major impact on punk, new wave and alternative music with their first album titled "Marquee Moon" in 1977. Their sound was based around minimalism, and the raw sound of garage rock of the 60's, a far cry from what may be considered "punk" today. While they may be labeled a protopunk band, their influence comes in at a later date than other bands under such label.

Tom Verlaine (Guitar/Keyboard/Lead Vocals)
Richard Lloyd (Guitar)
Fred Smith (Bass Guitar)
Billy Ficca (Drums)

70's and 80's punk/noise band. They tried really hard to make music that did not copy any other. Most of it sucked, but they did have some very interesting songs. Required listening for old school punks.

Quite possibly the worst invention ever. Abbreviated to T.V. People sit in front of it, then lights and sound come out of it, penetrating the person's mind and causing them to trancend in to a vegetable state. The television then proceeds to drain them of all energy, will to move, and thought capacity. It is evil and inhuman and shouldn't be a part of any household. If you already have one, don't worry! You can do any of these things to get rid of your television.

a. Sell it online
b. Light it on fire
c. Throw your DVD player through the screen (Killing two birds with one stone here...)
