I am so sorry for the children of today cuz they do not listen to this kind of music, I am 19 and I am not that old (I guess) but still.. love Jethro Tull and this song, my fav.
Ian Anderson is a poet and plays his scenarios out on stage and in his music :) .. I adore every intimate detail of his songs , maybe that's why he is the one I turn to in my most darkest of days ?
@willicat441 Although I appreciate the sentiment of comparing Tull and ABBA, I cannot bear the thought of a musical based on Tull's catalog. The commercialization of Billy-Joel-ABBA-Green-Day-and-others can surely be counted among the worst events in the history of real music. Thankfully, Jethro Tull remains forever distant from that storm of cotton candy mediocrity.
best tull album for me. tull have got away of forming scenes in my mind and im sure what i see is xactly what they wanted me to. im 23 why the fuck does no1 my age get this amazing music
@vardan86 Jethro Tull has been forgotten like many other groups of that time playing great music. Few remembers the Jefferson Airplane, Ten Years After, Alan Parsons Project, Cream or Steppenwolf.
The problem is that most of today's youth do not need the music of an ambitious, with a deeper message. They need music that does not require them, especially thinking. For me it is scary.
@JTAqualung -not all of us (age 49 in my case) have forgotten my friend and I find myself going further and further back in time to enjoy and relive the music that I like.
I think that I will pull up "Lather" right now if I can.
@Tull29 What I meant is rather that they do not hear this music on the radio. Even in radio stations, which let go of contemporary rock music instead of chopped called by mistake music. I am 28 years old and working on Poland's first book on the history of rock. I'm scared when people ask me questions like, "Are you crazy?", "Why do you write something that nobody read?" When I say that it will be a tribute to people whose admiration they look at me like I was crazy.
@JTAqualung well if it's possible to read it in English, I'd gladly read it! Also, I'm going to Poland to study there next year :P. Good luck writing the book!
First, not studying in Poland. I know better ways to waste a few years of life. : P
Secondly, I am not a stingy man. I do not write this book in order to make a big chunk of change. If only I could learn enough English to translate what I I write, some parts of my work will be published on the Web. The first fragments to be expected in a few months. I will share details on the fly.
@JTAqualung Well the options are staying here, which I am definitely not going to do, or going there, so Rzeszow is waiting for me... it'll be cool, I've got friends in Krakow anyway. I didn't really expect the book to be in English, but well, as we say in Spain, "hope is the last thing that is lost" =)
@Aqualung1989 Currently, English is like Latin in the Middle Ages. Practically everyone knows him. Therefore, ninety percent I'll write in Polish and English. I'd like to get to as many readers.
Krakow you say. I'm here half the year and I really like this city. There are excellent public library where I am. And this is where I will came into being "immortal" work. With this "memorable" it was obviously a joke.
@mickskaful I'm 19 and I can relate--I introduced so many kids to Tull when I was in high school, many of them came to adore it, but hardly anyone had heard anything other than aqualung--if that!
Heavy Horses was the one that introduced me to JT.On my roomate´s c-cassette, without even knowing who it was(!) listening to the album as our lullabyesoundtrack ev´ry other evening for a year !!! We LOOOOVED IT. Finally we found out who it was.Needless to say I´ve got most of their albums now, but this was the best album (together with 2 others...)
Just recovered from a major systems crash. Artists that I have seen were; Nana Mouskouri, Super Tramp, Yes, Genesis(twice), Peter Gabriel(solo), Toronto, Saga, ACDC(twice), Queen, Boom Town Rats, Pink Floyd, Styx, Max Webster, Rush, Motor Head, Red Ryder, Alice Cooper, The Who. That's all that I can remember for now. I wish to hell that I could see Ian Anderson and the Moody Blues as these are two of my time favorite artists!
@Tull29 I am jealous of you, I would have LOVED to see Queen and Pink Floyd. I have seen Styx, and I have seen the Moody Blues twice since 2008, and those were the best two concerts I've ever seen, next to Jethro Tull whom I saw in 2008 also, Peter Frampton opened for them! It was amazing.
@uzi4u182 You are killing me here. I wish that I had your concert going experience especially with Tull and the Moody Blues. Where did you see Tull may I ask and I might have to dust off "Frampton Comes Alive" to boot!
Queen was actually one of the worst concerts that I saw simply because they overpowered a small venue with too much sound and lighting.
My all time favorite still remains Genesis the "And Then There Were Three" tour in Montreal.
@Tull29 I saw Tull at the Mann Center in Philadelphia. I couldn't remember at first but I have my ticket stub right here :-) I do believe i have some videos from that showing too. I saw the Moodys at the Hershey Theater in Hershey, PA, and also at the American Music Theater in Lancaster PA. (Fantastic venue, I've also seen Kansas and .38 special there)
@uzi4u182 Kansas is a band that I really would have liked to have seen along with Journey. A few others that I did not mention seeing were Steve Earl, Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, and FM(phasars on stun). It was all we used to do when we were younger, party and go to shows. I used to keep all the ticket stubs and newspaper reviews but that was a long time ago.
Ifriend1 , I am 48 and agree with you in spades however, my all time favorite band is "The Moody Blues". My all time favorite show was indeed "Genesis,And then there were Three"
@Tull29 So, who all did you see. I was not a big concert go, but manged to see a few, like Tull, Golden earing, T-Rex, Mott, Queen, Blue oyster cult, Paul Mc,, and I sure wish I would have taken the opp to see the Moody Blues, I saw beach boys, Crosby, stills, nash and young, three dogy night, and Grand Funk RR, Gino Vanelli. to name all i can think of right now, But that was without even trying, not including T-Rex, Mott and Queen, who I went out of my way to see.
thanks for posting this stuff, aqualung1989, really brings back fond memories of my youth... i'm 49 now but still think this time frame(1970's) produced the best music ever.
Christ, we had Tull, genesis, yes, king crimson, allman bros, zeppelin and that's not all.
this is the best tull album because ian sings every single word on this album as if it were his last...best and most musically sound line-up and ian's best vocal work 78-79' Tull...right in between prog and folk phase tull
@rumpraisin They had been listening to Steeleye Span - at least ian Anderson had. Just before he started work on Tull's 'folk trilogy' (Songs From the Wood/Heavy Horses/Stormwatch) he produced Steeleye's album 'Now We Are Six'.
@rumpraisin Ian Anderson had actually been listening to Steeleye Span - just before recording Tull's 'folk trilogy' he had produced Steeleye's album 'Now We Are Six'
Your are right friend. i don't know if Heavy Horses is the best JT album, it's true that it could be one of the three or four betters ones, but is sure that is the more underrated album of JT. It deserves to be more considerated and be include in the best albums of all times lists.
