Re: (TV) Surely some mistake...?

They have sold millions, maybe nothing much in the US, but in europe they are/were pretty huge, the last UK tour sold out instantly and they were playing 2-3000 capacity venues and above and they played a lot of dates - I know its a hit when I hear the neighbours playing the album 
when I said they were not factually incorrect I meant it humourously, the 
thing is you CAN put almost any band in that bracket - to me they sound f#ck 
all like television (altho a lot of lazy music journalists do - "they sound 
like television and the stooges" was the most popular thing to say - and 
they definately sound f#ck all like the stooges), I'd lump them in with what 
was called 'the new wave of new wave' several years ago, a handy grouping of 
bands inspired by an imitation of a shadow of punk rock (whatever that is) 
like 'these animal men' and 'smash' - to me thats how I'd describe them to 
someone I knew

the thing is, these bands were genuinley exciting to watch and were 
lyrically a bit more inspired

So any band that had or has a 2 guitar , bass , and drums lineup and clean
guitar sound can be compared to Television. Does that include the Beatles?
