Jethro Tull

Jethro tull were an important band for me growing up. My parents both enjoyed them, when they split up I guess it kinda just reminded me of them. However listening to them now I appreciate the folk like influences they had in their music. I like albums that are acoustic yet convey a heaviness,not my favorite of this genre, theres a couple that will be close to the end of the list, but they have some of the best albums I have heard.

In my opinion their bets album is benefit. In the best sense I would say that they peaked with Aqualung. Anyways benefit conveyed a sense of emotion that I had never had before. it was a mixture between fear and loneliness. The vocals seemed pained and distraught, mixed with the heavy wood tone i felt as though i was lost on a journey in the middle of a wintery day, while the dark skies beared down upon me. keep in mind i was in the woods. I have this album on vinyl just because I love it so much.

Aqualung is an excellent album. It is musically better than benefit but I have my own likes.

Albums to get - Benefit, Aqualung, Heavy horses, Minstrel in the gallery, a passion play, Thick as a Brick.

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
