aside from 'little johnny jewel' and 'see no evil' i don't really care much for television.

i probably enjoy the live versions of little johnny jewel and marquee moon on the roir tape as much as i enjoy the first van halen album and for a lot of the same reasons. rockage, epic-ness, guitar pyrotechnics, volume, tension & release, etc. but that's it as far as television that i love. whereas, there is a lot more to love about van halen after the first album.

It's undeniable that Van Halen dominated the course of rock music for almost a decade to come, but it's a tepid argument that Television similarly dominated the niche, short-lived genre (if you can even call it that) of post-punk (even though it's a popular music critic thesis).

And yet, Van Halen hired Marquee Moon producer Andy Johns to summon some big drums for their F.U.C.K. LP. Does that throw a wrench in things, or settle the score? Well, either way...
