The leader of Jethro Tull occasionally records a solo album that departs significantly from the output of his group (although it can be argued that every Tull album since the mid-'70s has, in effect, been an Anderson solo project supported by whatever musicians he chooses to call "Jethro Tull"). His solo material tends to be more overtly serious, and more oriented toward instrumental music than Tull's music. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
Love Jethro Tull! Very unique ROCK AND ROLL :):):)KEEP SMILING

Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull has been my all-time favorite since the early 70's. Have gone to their concerts about 10 times and will go again. Most recent was Ian Anderson at the Turning Stone Casino last year.
I saw Jethro Tull numerious times in the 60s and 70s at the Fillmore East. Ian Anderson used to play his flute and jump and fly accross the stage. He was incredable and the first artist to really do such things.
I have loved this man's poetry and music since 1972. Utter brilliance!

What an in-depth bio for such an influential band. Saw them when they did the Minstrel in the Gallery tour. An amazing show. I'd add ELP and Deep Purple to the list of RHoF oversights.
Got cut off! Tull’s distinctive sound, sophisticated music and yes – lyrics has withstood the test of time, and non-plus critics. “Impossibly dense lyrics?” Perhaps if the reviewer spent some time reading, he would find his way through more readily. Anderson gets into trouble for not making music for idiots. It may be tough to take for some people, but Jethro Tull isn’t about snot…
It is way passed time that Pandora pulls their silly review for Jethro Tull down from this site. It says: “Jethro Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history.” Was? The next time Anderson and Barre and whoever comprises the line-up plays anywhere, they will out-perform any other musicians on the scene, and I say that knowing that there are still some great musician playing in the world. I can’t think of any other musician(s) that I’ve been listening to intently for 40 years.

Totally agree. RHoF is a total waste of time. The real test is time. Tull, Rush, Yes, and others have outlasted many. Their music is time-less.
joespamjoe
agree. (the Rock hall of fame is a joke. There are one hit wonder bands in there, but not Jethro Tull, Yes, or rush.) Tull is perhaps the most creative group ever, save the Beatles. Seen them many times since 1975. Always great. Ian is a genius.

Agree with thom
thomasterry86
I just do not understand this .By far the best most Complicated passionate and out standing music ever .No band even comes a close second yet.Not even in the rock and roll hall of fame? .Ian is the best ever- bottom line no arguments in my book .

Ian almost defies definition. An historic rocker, wonderful storyteller and touching poet... now, later in life, he seems to have re-invented himself. The mans' humility and humor are, sadly, almost unique in his profession. I have listened to him(them) for 30 years now. It never gets old. He is hte only celebrity I want to meet.

I love this music, i remeber my high school time, is a mix of creativity and excelent performance, with a perfect armony...JMP
To barry.mensh --> I couldn't agree more. Ian Anderson, a grandmaster in every sense of the word. As you say Per h a p s , IMHO, the greatest singer/story t e l l e r / m i n s t r a l / m u s i c i a n / r o c k e r EVER....Ian Anderson!
Went to my first Tull concert in 1972...........seen them almost every year since then.....Perhaps, IMHO, the greatest singer/storyteller/minstral/musician/rocker EVER....Ian Anderson!
C'mon, that's the bio you have for Ian Anderson? You might as well spit out a two sentence blurb on Duke Ellington; both world heros, class A musicians and profoundly inspirational composers. Ian is also my lifetime poet lauriette choice of the 20th century.

Why don't they have Divinities? it's his best solso!

Just listening to "TULL" while I do laundry and housework
I took my then 11-year-old to see Ian at Park West in Chicago. At intermission, we bumped into him coming out of the gents room. What a hoot for my son! What a great show and a great guy!
Saw Ian at Penn's Peak here in PA, and must say it was the one that touched me most. Perfect as ever on flute, and leading a whole group of young ones with respect for them!. It was the best concert I have ever seen.
I have been a Tull and Ian Anderson fan since the late 70's. I saw Jethro Tull in concert in the 1990's. The concert was one of my favorites, even though it was close to 100 degrees out at Alpine Valley.

Been a Tull fan since 1968 "This Was" arrived on the scene. Being a product of the 70's, I wish i can remember the total number of times I've seen Jethro Tull in concert, bit I believe it approaches 6-7. From the early 70's-2000's. Even though my music taste change a bit over the years,Being a STAND_UP guy, I seem to ALWAYS come back to my roots, and those roots (to branches LOL) inevitably find there way back to Mr. Anderson and Jethro Tull. If not This WAS a Benefit and Living in the Past,is c
Saw Ian Anderson as Jethro Tull 1976-77 in Binghamton NY , He played the entire concert on one foot while the oher sat perched on his standing leg knee. HE NEVER LOST HIS BALLANCE THE WHOLE CONCERT. I could not belive it.

Love you talent and wonderful humor. Can't wait to see you in the US. To you and your group, "HAPPY NEW YEAR"
sograteful
Was at a "Rubbing Elbows w/ Ian Anderson" concert in San Diego 6 years ago. He allowed the audience to ask him questions, which I did. Asked if he was on a desert island what ALBUM would he take (said Beethoven's 9th), what MOVIE (Spinal Tap), what BOOK (some espionage novel) and what person (said of course, his good sister Pamela Anderson .... tongue in cheek) ;-)
djgibb
He has always been my favorite artist. I was almost named Ian in honor of him! Tull & Ian Anderson have inspired much of my musical tastes throughout the years.
Ian Anderson is one of the most brilliant artists of all time. Who is making music today that remotely comes close to Thick as a Brick, Passion Play and the rest to Jethro Tull's masterpieces. Ian and Tull will go done in history as one of the best of all time.

For a man his age, he still is a great performer. Although he has lost some of his vocal range over the years he is as entertaining as ever. Seeing him in concert last night in York Pa, was like going to concert and getting a comedy act as a side show. You can see he enjoys what he does. He is a refreshing change from the norm.
FINEST ACID CONCERTS OF THE LATE SIXTIES AND THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING
gtskog
My first time to see Tull was 1968 @ San Diego State U. They were the warm up band for Led Zeppelin. I can't count how many time I've see them since then. Best group ever.
natetucker37
benefit rules! Definitely would consider myself a Tull Skull if I'd been born in the 50's. Still love every orig Tull album. Yes - even Crest of a Knave.
favorite album, benefit.......long live JT & Ian Anderson
catwhite6
going to see him June 6th, can't wait

It wasn't until 1980 that Ian "broke up" Tull ("A" album) and began a period of somewhat revolving musicians. Although the Ian, Martin Barre, Doane Perry, Dave Pegg, Andy Giddings line up was together for MANY years. Bruce Eders' comment is bogus....
pelletiermichele
Got to see" jethro tull" in concert in '79: will never forget it. Once i heard his lyrics,(as opposed to just listening to the music)this has been my favorite musician in over 30 years! oops,!
lol totally agree! I play flute and Ian Anderson has opened up a new world for flutes!... were not just for classical music anymore!
pamela.neely
Tull has been the soundtrack for most of my life as well! If I meet someone who doesn't GET Tull, then I immediately know they are not my soulmate! There is no one like Sir Ian!
