Legacy
Stephen Morris (of New Order and formerly Joy Division) cited Marquee Moon as one of his favorite albums. "I just felt that Marquee Moon and the stuff from New York was odd, and it was different, and it was weird – and I always liked weird things. It still had a lot of energy; I liked Marquee Moon in preference to, say, Patti Smith's Horses it was just contrived enough."
Alan Wilder, formerly of Depeche Mode, also cited Marquee Moon as one of his favorite albums, saying "Television just came along for me, and I just love "Marquee Moon"; it's just that guitar riff it starts with. It captures your imagination immediately; it's so edgy and angular."
The title track was covered by the Kronos Quartet in 1990 for the compilation album Rubáiyát.
