      I remember back in 1970, the headmaster of my school (a Catholic priest) was very aware of social issues and used the lyrics from Aqualung to deliver a sermon about inequality. Given the fact that this was in South Africa deep in the grip of apartheid at the time, he was skating on very thin ice. A man I had the utmost respect for.

      One of the things that made Tull special is that they didn't fit into a specific genre. They'd go through different phases throughout their career. From a bluesy phase to an English country phase to a more rock phase to a south asian/Indian phase. They even won a Grammy for best heavy metal band in a year when their album wasn't really heavy metal. They've always been very difficult to categorize.

      @MichaelKingsfordGray Even more so on the 'Aqualung' cover. I heard he actually got a bit upset about that one.

    Once again a band from the late sixties, early seventies. A band that masters there instruments... I just wish Clive never left . What a master drummer!

    Jethro Tull; one of the all-time great bands. IMO their early album 'Stand Up' is one of my favorites and grossly underrated.

      I agree completely about Standup. Grossly underrated. Even some of the stuff that isn’t central, like Fat Man.

      Stand Up has a couple of my favorite Jethro Tull songs on it; We Used to Know is worth buying the album all by itself for me.

    1971. I can remember it. Well, time goes by. A sensational piece of Rock, imho.
