Love Jethro Tull. But you probably love stuff that I'd consider a violation of the Geneva Convention. Some people eat snails but can't stand broccoli. Go figger.

I've hated Rush all my life - until a few years ago when I fell in love with they music. If you ask me now, 2112 is probably the greatest rock album ever recorded.
Since then I try to remain open-minded, even about bands that I don't like or never cared for. Jethro Tull is one of those. Although I used to own the special 25th anniversary edition of Aqualung and I dug some of it.
In fact, in recent weeks, I've spent quite a bit of time exploring bands and records I had never cared for or never took the time to listen to. And I discovered that I really dug some of them from April Wine to BOC to Krokus.
I even tried Styx - but I couldn't make it past the 3rd song. They're like the Liberace of rock, aren't they?

Wow, were two of those songs Babe and Mr. Roboto? 'Cause those may have been pop hits, but even most tribute bands refuse to play 'em! I got to hear a lot of Styx because some friends had a very tight tribute band called Grand Illusion and there are some really good stuff buried in there. Try to find some older stuff.

2112 is a good album. Personally, I think Moving Pictures is probably their best rounded album. A bit less mechanical but still a bit off kilter. Styx has some good songs. Yes, they are fairly commercial and they went nutso with Mr Roboto (what the hell were they thinking?) but Renegade is pretty good and Too Much Time On My Hands is a classic. Back to the OP, I like some Tull.

Hi,
Probably the weirdest and strangest thing from Ian Anderson, is the interview he had with Rick Wakeman in his series ... it's very good, but some of the things he says ... makes you wonder why he even does rock music!
But all in all, as an example, I have no issues listening to RUSH or KANSAS, but they are not my favorites. I will never deny them their musicianship but to me, they were a wee bit too much on the pop side of things, and they were ... an excellent band to play in the early days of FM radio ... great sound and very clean work all around.
I'm way more of an European sound person, but that does not mean I don't like American music ... the SF/LA scenes are massive and have way too many good bands for me not to love them, with only one sad thing ... the American Music "business", killed almost all of these bands ... it's just a wonder that bands like the DOORS put together so much stuff that has such a great movie story to it, and the stuff that JA and GD put together were also insanely good, and mostly very well done. But listening back to all the early GD albums now, you will immediately say ... wow, that's a really good guitarist, and the compositional side of the material is very well done for such a young rock band!
JT, for me, had a couple of great things, but him getting all perturbed over a couple of things and just going back to creating songs for the radio, was a bit strange, and I think that he has repeated himself too much. But I do love PP a lot, and still is the one album by JT that I can play over and over and not get tired of. Some of the other albums are a bit too much on the opinion side, and it feels like a SW song ... shutttttttt uppppppp!!!
Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Hi  Loved Jethro Tull for many years, I collected all their stuff. The Songs From The Wood/Heavy Horses/Bursting Out period was my favourite, although I really liked Broadsword & The Beast; for 1982 the heavy use of synths alongside mandolins & electric guitars sounded really fresh to me. Saw them live several times over the years, and the line-up with Andy Giddings, Jonathan Noyce and Doane Perry was excellent, but I missed their best days I think. I watched too many Ian Anderson interviews though, and gradually realised what a hubris-ridden, pompous man he is, especially as he can no longer hold a note in a bucket.. Kind of spoiled their music for me when I heard him talking about past band members, and then when Martin Barre left, that was it, I stopped listening to them. Given the choice I'd go and see Barre playing Tull's songs these days, he picks some great album tracks to play live and the singer in his band doesn't attempt an Anderson impression. No bloody flute either...

Big JT fan here too. That is, up to the nineties.
Some of their concert footage is so brethtakingly great. I'm about to order the Songs from the woods 25-year package. I saw the included concert DVD on Youtube, and it's the best JT concert recording I've seen this far.

Yep, I would have liked to have seen them in the late '70s, with Barrie Barlow and John Glascock, brilliant live act back then. I think IA always under estimated the value of having a 'real band' as opposed to the uncharismatic session players he has now.

Homer Simpson famously claimed that music reached its zenith in 1974 and that it's a scientific fact you can look up.
Myself, I'd widen it to 1973-1977, a period bracketed by Dark Side of the Moon and Songs from the Wood.

Just aesthetic opinion, but Tull was incredible, especially if you look at the time they came out. Ian's ego aside, there was intellectual content to their music. Cool lyrics. Cool melodies. Blazing guitar for that era.
Was probably an act that should have been retired a long time ago. Ian still good but past his prime if you look at more recent performances. The replacement band is slick, but the new young guys somehow don't deliver the same iconic impact.

I once walked through Ian Anderson's salmon farm on the Isle of Skye. Was only a kid. Parents told me the significance of where we were. Was totally nonplussed, but decided to brag about it later at school anyway. The other kids were like "oh, right." Most ineffective brag ever.
