# The Best Television Guitar Solos > The 15 best Television guitar solos, ranked. #1 is Marquee Moon (1977), then Torn Curtain and Friction. Every video starts at the solo. Canonical URL: Television emerged from the CBGB scene with a twin-guitar approach that owed more to jazz improvisation and 60s psychedelia than to three-chord punk. Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's interlocking parts and contrasting solos on Marquee Moon made it one of the most influential guitar albums of its era.
