The official Jethro Tull appreciation thread. (lyrics, solo, bands, songs)

Needs more Jethro Tull appreciation.

I got into them through my father (as a lot of people did, I assume). I started out with Songs From The Wood and that's still my favourite today.

I was going to take my father to see them live a couple of years ago and I regret not going. I've heard that Ian Anderson has lost his voice, though.

I love plenty of Tull tracks, but I still have never heard one consistent album by them. Some of my favorites:

FARM ON THE FREEWAY
ROOTS TO BRANCHES
BROADSWORD
TO CRY YOU A SONG
TEACHER
CROSS EYED MARY
SWEET DREAM
PUSSY WILLOW
JACK IN THE GREEN

Actually he's mediocre technically, barely know how to play, but he sang/snorted/hummed through the mouthpiece instead of blowing.

Tull are a great band. With Ian Anderson, it's not only about the melody, but the delivery. Those snorts, laughs, and snickers are as much a part of the lyric as the words. They convey more than just a melody and a story.
Modern admirer: Eddie Vedder. Check out 'Jeremy', a classic Anderson-like delivery: "Clearly I remember, picking on the boy..."
And both Anderson and Vedder are RAGING DRUNKS!

Favorite song: 'Witch's Promise'
