I was just investigating some of the bands that I've read have influenced U2. Went out and bought Television's album Marquee Moon from 1977 and it's FANTASTIC Just very cool, chimey, un-bluesy, melodic guitar rock. Wait, that sounds familliar :O
Seriously, I have "Venus" in a playlist right next to "Into The Heart" and it's the same kinda musical sound, really enjoying getting into Television.
Also picked up "Crocodiles" from Echo & The Bunnymen, which is less immediate to get into than Television, but it's still interesting to listen to.
How about you guys, any fans out there of the late 70s alt rock / punk stuff?
