I'm relaxing and listening to "Adventure" (red vinyl, 1978) and thinking that the solo in "The Fire" might be my favorite Television solo. Which led me to thinking:
Tom really took guitar, soloing in particular, in a new direction. I just feel like all the indie bands learned from him, even if they didn't know they did. He went in a direction that was strikingly different from the blues based rock and metal riffs everyone was recycling (punk included). Post-Hendrix, post-punk.
At the same time, I'm imagining that I'm forgetting a bunch of folks. Who did this with Tom? Richard Thompson? Robert Fripp?
If anyone can follow what I'm saying. My powers of communication may not be at their height right now.
And now I'm thinking the solo in "Dream's Dream" might be my favorite...
I should add, I absolutely love Richard's playing -- I actually really loved his Hendrix release. But, I don't feel Richard's playing is as distinctive in direction as Tom's.
