Dreadful, stilted, pretentious, dinosaur, quasi-rock - but this is one of the finest examples of it - so bonus points for nostalgia.  Codpieces for everyone!  Don't forget to tip your local tallowchandler.
Sorry, I know people love this tune, but...

This whole album takes me back to 1971 when in high school Bible class we study Aqualung. How about some Locomotive Breath Bill?

I read the Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree fame is giving Aqualung the 'ol 5.1 treatment.

Looking forward to that! 
 
Bought it a couple weeks ago, amazing compared to the original.  A real difference.

It's no Cross-Eyed Mary, but it's certainly worthy of a spot on that great album.

 
No, it isn't!  It's even better!  One of my alltime favourite Tull songs off one of their best albums.

Jethro Tull / Ian Anderson is such a second-round surprise. Been listening for years, but picked up the "Best of Acoustic Jethro Tull" a few years ago, and the whole collection is growing on me in a serious way. 

Saw him live in SF a year or so ago, though, and Ian's current personality didn't much work for me, kinda embarrassing in his treatment of, well, pretty much everyone. His band didn't look like they were having a good time, either.

I am really starting to like this band.  I used to be under the impression that this was just another heavy metal band not worth checking out.

My favorite song from Aqualung.  I've tried desperately to play it on the guitar.  Was pretty close for a while

This is the first album I ever bought!  Learned to play my flute along with this, just like my big sister!  Ahhh the memories.  I love this song!
