Jethro Tull

they are so cool. I love locomotive breath and aqaulung and steel monkey. and all the flute they use. its awesome

when they beat out metallica they pretty much became a joke in the music world lol

I don’t know, every now and then I hear a jethro tull song, I don’t hate hearing it- but they aren’t at the top of my list for favorite bands. then there was the year that they beat out metallica for best heavy metal band- that was such a crock. the 60’s were definitely good to whoever voted on that one. and that is the major source of the jokes I have heard.

Interesting choices, gumguy. I like steel monkey very much too. Otherwise I like a lot of their older ‘folk’ stuff - the Heavy Horses album, Jack in the Green, Velvet Green (very sexy song)…

If you guys like Jethro Tull, do you know much about/like Runrigg? Not the same, but with some similar influences (except Scottish).

oh yeah…popularity doesnt have anything to do with talent… just look at Micheal Jackson or Britney Spears for example.

they did sell over 60 million albums worldwide, Metallica sold about 80 million

whats jethro tull???

I love them. They thought it was really funny when they won best heavy metal band - that’s never how they saw themselves. They were just a load of guys having a good time with all sorts of music - their earliest stuff is very jazz-influenced.
