Poll question: Really don't mind if you sit this one out: Favorite JETHRO TULL tune |
|
"Let's see if we can spot the over 35s in the audience..." Forgive another old-guy poll. I am so far resisting the temptation to put on Bourree.

But I like all things Tull and yes Bouree SHOULD be on the list! Great interpretation of the tune!

Or, "Baker Street Muse", or "A Small Cigar", "Broadford Bazaar", "Dun Ringill", "Home".... I could go on forever...

Though I voted for Thick as a Brick.
But I do point out that one can sing "Favorite Jethro Tull tune" to the opening riff of Aqualung.

When I was young and they packed me off to school and taught me how not to play the game, I didn't mind if they groomed me for success, or if they said that I was a fool. So I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm -- their half-assed smiles and the book of rules. So I asked this God a question and by way of firm reply, He said -- I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays. So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares): before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers -- I don't believe you: you had the whole damn thing all wrong -- He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays. Well you can excomunicate me on my way to Sunday school and have all the bishops harmonize these lines -- how do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son when that was just an accident of Birth. I'd rather look around me -- compose a better song `cos that's the honest measure of my worth. In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me, as you lick the boots of death born out of fear. I don't believe you: you had the whole damn thing all wrong -- He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.

Anything off This Was, Benefit, Aqualung, Living in the Past.
Thick as a Brick & Passion Play ... best served with a fine cognac, or a bold red wine, and a Jamaican cigar.
From Stormwatch "Flying Dutchman". "Heavy Horses". "Wondering Aloud"
Argh. Wish I could sound as good as Martin Barre.

63. Satisfy one curiousity of mine about TAAB: |
|
"Gerald Bostock" is credited as co-author. It's the disqualified boy from the spoof newspaper. I assume he's fictitious, but I'm not 100% sure. IS THERE a person called Gerald Bostock who co-authored that song?

I HATE that song, and the insipid moves that go with it! I lived through the disco era completely unaware of those moves, only to have that f'n thing in my face at every wedding more than 20 years later!

59. I was listening to this song when I was about 30 |
|
and it hit me in a lot of ways, such as:
'Cause you were bred for Humanity and sold to Society - One day you'll wake up in the Present Day - A million generations removed from expectations Of being who you really want to be.
Well, do you ever get the feeling that the Story's too damn real and in the present tense? Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like You're the only person sitting in the audience?
These two verses described my late 20s and early 30s angst better than any others.
Now that I'm 40, Pink Floyd's "Time" is a little too appropriate.

Before JT's new Christmas album late last year (including mostly his old stuff) I used to play this EP and the album Songs From The Wood every Christmas time.

39. It's a song/It's an album/a song/an album/a song/an album |
|
...But while I love "Thick As a Brick," a staggering work of musical madness, I have recently become infatuated with "Reasons For Waiting," from "Stand Up." I only bought the album recently, though I've been a Tull fan since '76. And "Reasons" is such a lovely love song---when I hear it now, I think of my wife (we've been marrried only a few months).
This is a good topic. I wish I knew more Tull fans. Most of my friends think of them as '70s artifacts.

Love Stormwatch.. "Something's on the Move" was the first Tull song I ever heard.. had it on one of those compilation K-Tel tapes... totally rearranged my thinking about Rock... I officially retired all my old Kiss albums after hearing it.

Tull's 'Beltane' off of the 20 Years of Jethro Tull came up on my random MP3 playlist just as I was reading this thread. :)
Favorites - damn. Aqualung got so much friggin' airplay that it's right out. Favorite albums (original, not best-of-type reissues) have to include:
Broadsword and the Beast Stormwatch Songs From the Wood
But the live album A Little Light Music is pretty sweet as well... and yeah, Bouree does indeed rock. :evilgrin:

"...whilst I appreciate you are no deviate, I might come to some harm."
I haven't heard a Tull song I didn't like, just some more than others. However, one I fondly remember for some unknown reason is "Fly By Night" off of "A Classic Case" (Tull with the London Symphony).
