Oso planning to go pro
They're way before my time but I'm listening to Jethro Tull? This band and their frontman are absolutely phenomenal. Obviously there were great 70's bands and singer/songwriters but I'm absolutely blown away by these guys.
Recent addictions are Nathaniel Rateliff, Florence and the Machine, Of Monsters and Men
I'm not one of those that automatically hates "pop" music, but its slim pickings for pop. That being said, I do like George Ezra, especially the song Barcelona.
Glad to hear you enjoyed Jethro Tull and the extremely unique style. Their live performances are extremely different and you can fine some of their very early performances on Youtube. The vast majority of their hit songs were in the late 1960's.Ian Anderson provides a performance style like no other and the utilization of his flute in rock songs is outstanding. Anderson is a very, very smart man and please go on the internet and find his interview with Dan Rather a few years ago. It was on the show "The Big Interview",on AXSTV, where Dan Rather interview rock stars. The interview was very compelling and one of the best I have seen on that show.The guitar player in Tull was Martin Barre, who was very underrated, but known to guitar players and seen as an influence by up and coming players in the 1970's. His solo play in Aqualung is always in the Top 50 solos of all-time. I have Tull on a playlist and in order:AqualungLocomotive BreathHymn 43Crossed Eyed MaryLiving in the PastBungle in the JungleEnjoy.
They’re unique. Not really my thing. (I mean, a flute?) But I get the allure.
Ty nyg. Do we know why they are NOT in the Rock and Roll HOF? I'm absolutely floored by Heavy Horses. I've now listened to it 10 times since last night.
There are numerous bands/artists who are not in the HOF and there are many who are in, that should not be in. Look at Pat Benatar who should have made it years ago, but did not until this year. That's a whole new topic.Enjoy the Tull experience.
Why are you disparaging flutists or flautists? Totally inexcusable Fluffy.
Yeah, I have learned long ago that music is a highly individualized taste. So if you like it, cool. I may not, but I am sure I have my thing that you don't care for either. And all of that is OK.I have about 12 SXM stations that I constantly run through in my car. They range from pop to classic rock to soft rock... I rarely settle on one station - unless I am with my wife who doesn't like me jumping around.

Little Feat!!!
28, 34-41, 7-12, 45, 52, 173 (canada!), and 301.I do float around some of the others when I'm bored as well.
Shockin' wee differ in da chit listened two. No Sinatra, Ella, or Nat King Cole on your Victrola, hey?#freeziggy2022toinfinity
Point well taken. I'm super impressed by the musicianship of the band and of course Anderson's overall talents.
In the Age of TikTok and Google shorts, this period's genre was dominated by classic jams, of which Tull was one of many. Marathon jam songs lasting 20+ minutes with one song taking up half and album were common and are considered classics today. It's a great period to discover.
Ezra is outstanding as are the three that Tower listed. Also listening to a lot of Son Volt and Birds of Chicago
Big fan of Birds of Chicago. Currently wearing out The Happy Fits, Lawrence, also Ruston Kelly, and Ceramic Animals (saw them both open at Red Rocks last month), Valerie June, Caamp, and some old school hip hop.

Valerie June is fantastic
