Everything on the Internet is true.

I read on the internet that Jethro Tull has sold over 60 million albums. That's pretty incredible if it's true.

See, I normally listent o music nice n' quiet-like. but every once in a while, there's a song which demands you move that volume knob up to 11 or so...

Jethro Tull is on tour....

Always a fave......

Oh Yeah, How bout some Tull!!!

Cool

When this came out it tore the doors off of what we thought was possible for a band to be able to cook up and still hope to put into the mainstream. It's just so totally different -- and wild. As cynical as Floyd, or more, yet even more rocky and bluesy, too. Then we dug around and found Thick as a Brick and found that worthy and deep, too. Stand-Up took us in another direction, as well. Probably in the UK people got exposed to them the other way, chronologically, as they came out. For most of us they broke the tape with Locomotive Breath and Aqualung. But it didn't matter, really -- it was all good, and all very different... I mean, listening to Cross-Eyed Mary or Mother Goose while waiting for the school bus, wow, that could keep your head busy all day! It was possible for us to get into all these facets of Tull at the same time as we were getting hit with Talking Heads, Foreigner, Yes, Kansas, The Who, The Stones, REO SPeedwagon, Fleetwood Mac. I wonder if there ever was such a period of creativity and variety in music as we enjoyed around us in those days...
Thanks, Bill, for reminding us and providing the modern equivalent!

I don't think it's that difficult. I'm not in the least sentimental about music, so if it's from a certain era that I loved doesn't concern me. The only thing that counts is: do I still enjoy certain music? I love hearing Locomotive Breath, because it still stands out as a song. Other things by Tull I don't find as interesting as 30 years ago.
Same with songs from the 80's or 90's.
I do agree with you that there must be a reason why younger people seem to enjoy "old" music so much. Isn't it that now you've got more to choose from so your view broadens?

Saw them at Irvine Meadows Amp Theater for 20 years tour, I guess that was 1988.

Awesome music and lyrics.

Jethro Tull! saw them in The Garden (Madison Square Gaaaaaarden!) in '83 God they rocked then and they Rock now...I may have been the only black man in the HOUSE!!!

I remember listing to this album in High School. We had the sound up really loud and rocked out before catching the bus to school. Love this record.

Hard to say, but with any luck, we won't be listening to Tull in 2047.

I totally agree: Death Cab, The Shins, The Killers and the rest can write a catchy pop tune, but will we still be listening to them in 2047? That period from say '66 to '75 will never be matched.

One of the reasons my hearing is fading...stellar!

It only took me 30 years , but I finally get Tull.

LMAO this is one of those songs you hear start up and you go " Ohhhhh I know this but can't place it yet!" and it's maddening until it hits you what it is.

my breath stops short for a second and my heart flutters when I hear those early strained piano notes, just the same as the last 30 years or so...

Oh Yeah, Tull....Haven't heard this in years. Saw these guys live in Oakland in the 70's.
