Bring out the Jethro Tull fans!

[toysintheattic]

Any out there? I know it's quite an odd band, but that's the whole reason I made a thread about it!
I'm willing to bet that's there's never been a Tull thread on E before, and we need to get together, folks!
Everyone needs a little Ian Anderson in their life!
Oh, & if you've never heard of Jethro Tull before, or if you've only ever heard Aqualung, if you're interested, I'll recommend some good ones for you. :)

Where else can you get epic flute solos. I loved Locomotive Breath.

[Oniya]

I still think they should go on tour co-headlining with Kansas.  Flute and violin!

Ever heard Beltane?  It's a hard one to find.

'Beltane' ~ Jethro Tull

(Apparently, there's an Internet Rule about declaring things hard to find resulting in actually finding them.  Just not sure what number it is.)

[Callie Del Noire]

Don't forget they are the only group to win a Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental.

Locomotive Breath is a flippin' classic. I don't think I've ever heard Beltane, though. I just knew if I started this thread someone would bust out with a Tull song I've never heard.

I might have to post some link or vids soon, start sharing the love!

[Callie Del Noire]

Jeeze.. they have been together forever, it is likely there is a LOT of Tull you haven't heard.

I figure that my favorite is Beast and the Broadsword

[toysintheattic]

Hell yes, another one I've never heard before. I've never really thought about it before, but there probably is a lot I haven't heard!

Anyone heard Mother Goose? Of course Skating Away....The Whistler...

[DiverseDesires]

I love tons  - and some of his lyrics, Like Thick as a Brick are just wonderful.

This one tickles my sense of humor (As do so many of his) - and anyone who knows me will know VERY well why!   ;D


Jethro Tull: Hunting Girl (02/10/1977)

[Tambit]

Heavy Horses is one of my favorite albums of all time...

[toysintheattic]

Alright Jethro Tull fans, let's get this thread kickin'.
How about posting some of your favorite lyrics or excerpts from some Tull songs?
You can say a bit about why you like them or what they might mean to, any detail you'd like to include.
