| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Mar 26, 2013 - 13:25 One of my favorite albums, and album covers. The little stand-up paper cutout in the centerfold is a reminder of the days when art designers had real artists working for them, and record companies didn't mind (well, much) paying for such things. | |||||

| ambrebalte (Beijing most of the time - Wolxheim in France now) | Posted: Jan 13, 2013 - 16:38 A balad ballad Good for you you don't hear me singing along -  The instrumental "Bourée" (one of Jethro Tull's better-known songs) is a jazzy re-working of "Bourrée in E minor" by J.S. Bach. in Wikipedia | |||||

When Metallica's self titled album won the same category three years later, Lars said in the acceptance speech "Thanks to Jethro Tull for not putting out an album this year." OK, so I don't think most of us would call the Tull heavy metal. If in your mind the flute disqualifies them from being rock, then call them something else. But listen to Cross Eyed Mary, Aqualung, or Locomotive Breath and you can't complain that these guys don't rock hard enough. This song is a bit mellow but a great song from a solid band none the less. Some thoughts: 1. Does Jethro Tull claim to be "Rock 'n Roll"? Should they? Why? 2. That Finnish Cello-group Apocalyptica did pretty well with Metallica's songs. On Cellos. It still rocked. (But, indeed, no flutes). 3. Consider "Hocus Pocus" by Focus, current RP rating is a 9. Big flute solo. 4. Consider "Land Down Under" by Men At work, current RP rating is an 8. Big flute solo. Discuss. ;-) | |||||

Bach, originally written for the lute. Amazing how rock can be so intertwined with classical music. |
