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.

Don't worry
I love bauhaus



...but i HATE Jethro Tull
Stupid boring Hippy music with Ian Anderson's horrendous flute playing all over it (my flautist girl friend has taught me to hate his playing)

Good call on Jethro Tull & Skinny Puppy! 'Thick as a brick' is an obvious favorite of mine. It does have a coupe of weak passages here and there, but overall, the good far outweigh the bad. And not to forget, the lyrics/story, as silly as some of it might seem, works really well here.(and definitely got the message across)
Mayhem...I find that there's better black metal out there than that. But anyways, It's not my list :p:

Sitting On A Park Bench...

Yeah Bauhaus were great, In The Flat Field was a great album. My fav Bauhaus song for some reason is Bela Lugusi's Dead.

Good call on Jethro Tull. Remember when they beat out Metallica for the Heavy Metal grammy. I know that still has to kill Lars and James that a band with a flute player beat them. I like Songs From the Wood also.

I caught Tull live in the late 70's. Sensational. Ian had the crowd eating out of his hand.

Wolves in The Throne Room

So you think all black metal is the same?
Well I believe that you are wrong sir
Wolves in the throne room are an excellent example of a newer black metal band creating something new. It has the typical atmosphere, but lyrically, and musically this band is totally different. Diadem of the 12 stars is amazing and I recommend that everyone get that album immediately.
