JETHRO TULL
JOHN EVAN, IAN ANDERSON, CLIVE BUNKER, MARTIN BARRE, JEFFREY HAMMOND HAMMOND
Jethro Tull were a unique phenomenon in popular music history.
Their mix of hard rock; folk melodies; blues licks; surreal, impossibly dense lyrics;
and overall profundity defied easy analysis, but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them
11 gold and five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took them seriously,
and they were off the cutting edge of popular music since the end of the 1970s.
But no record store in the country would want to be without multiple copies
of each of their most popular albums

Aqualung was a bold statement for a rock group, a pro-God antichurch tract that probably got lots
of teenagers wrestling with these ideas for the first time in their lives.
This was the album that made Jethro Tull a fixture on FM radio, with riff-heavy songs like "My God,"
"Hymn 43," "Locomotive Breath," "Cross-Eyed Mary," "Wind Up," and the title track.
And from there, they became a major arena act, and a fixture at the top of the record charts
for most of the 1970s. Mixing hard rock and folk melodies with Ian Anderson's dour musings on faith
and religion (mostly how organized religion had restricted man's relationship with God),
the record was extremely profound for a number seven chart hit,
one of the most cerebral albums ever to reach millions of rock listeners...(AllMusic)
