Answer 4

Jethro Tull is one my favorite bands of all time...Aqualung is probably still their masterpiece, but Thick As A Brick, Stand Up, Benefit, Minstel In The Gallery, just to name a few albums, are all great. I got to see Tull in a small high school auditorium just a few years ago, and Ian Anderson is still great after all these years. He's rich enough now that he plays wherever he wants, whenever he wants, and tends to play small halls and auditoriums rather than big stadium venues. Makes for a great experience to see them in a small room. The only original Tull member left other than Anderson is Martin Barre. Aqualung is positively a "must have" rock album, and my personal second favorite is Minstrel In The Gallery.

Answer 5

Love Tull. Saw them several times in the 70's. Ian had the most incredible energy on stage!
