Assuming you mean that in a historical context.   Yeah, no.

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.

Congrats on the discovery (or re-discovery) for one of the great bands of the 1970s and one of the truly unique artists ever in Ian Anderson.

Locomotive Breath ... Bungle in the Jungle ... A New Day Yesterday ... Too Old To Rock and Roll, Too Young To Die ... Cross-Eyed Mary ... Heavy Horses ... Sweet Dreams ... the incredible Thick as a Brick ... and of course the iconic Aqualung.

Thick as a Brick is a favorite of my 30-something son, whose passion is rock from all eras. A favorite of his dad's too!

Recent addictions are Nathaniel Rateliff, Florence and the Machine, Of Monsters and Men

Great choices.  About a decade ago, I made the switch to 88.9 here in Milwaukee and discovered so many great artists.  Lots of incredible talent out there

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:

Aqualung
Locomotive Breath
Hymn 43
Crossed Eyed Mary
Living in the Past
Bungle in the Jungle

Enjoy.

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.

Ezra is outstanding as are the three that Tower listed. Also listening to a lot of Son Volt and Birds of Chicago

Lots of rumors that Dead and Company was done after 2022 (cough Rolling Stone cough) but they’ve already announced some 2023 shows!

The music never stops!!!

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.

They’re unique. Not really my thing. (I mean, a flute?)  But I get the allure.

Why are you disparaging flutists or flautists?  Totally inexcusable Fluffy.

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.

Point well taken.  I'm super impressed by the musicianship of the band and of course Anderson's overall talents.

He’s not.  He said it’s not his thing when it comes to rock and he’s not alone.  I’m agnostic on Jethro Till but love the Moody Blues.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My Wife does 2 and 303.  I drive mostly to 51-53 (51 used to be INCREDIBLE, now its basically just a different genre top 40), but otherwise bounce around 36, 45, 46, and when im feeling adventurous, 163.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm a huge Tull fan. But I saw them live twice (both at Poplar Creek) and it was a bit too damn much jammin' for my taste. As much as I appreciate Ian Anderson's talent, listening to him play the flute for 15 minutes straight was a little much.

But I'll enjoy the songs on the playlist you mentioned, and many more, until I'm not too young to die!

Saw her recently at a little three song set at 88.9 studio. She is indeed fantastic.

Jethro Tull?  I think think Dire Straits said it best in Sultans of Swing:

"They don't give a damn about any FLUTE playing band
It ain't what they call Rock and Roll"!
