Mother used to sing along to Jethro. The memories aren't good at all...

Evo

I guess you're in an odd age range. Everyone of us oldies were singing them in chat. Sorry, I was too young to have kids when they were popular, and my mother was too old.

I love Jethro Tull. Does that makes me not young?

NeoDevin

I'm 25 and I love Jethro Tull...

Interesting trivia, Jethro Tull won the 1989 Grammy Award for best Hard Rock/Metal performance.

Astronuc

Their performances have always been excellent.

I am young and I have no idea who this guy is and I can't stand his music .

I was wondering about the thread title. It should read, "Songs for our old members".

That said, Jethro Tull rocks, you whippersnapper!

Evo

I was speaking with a young member and he had never heard of Jethro Tull, which is why the ttile, thought I'd lure some youngsters in.

In order, my faves:
Skating Away (on the Thin Ice of a New Day)
Songs from the Wood
Thick as a Brick

Aqualung and Loco Breath are great, but somewhat overplayed, IME.

Really, you don't know Jethro Tull? He was an agriculturist in the 1700's. He invented a device that sows seeds more effectively.

Oh and The Whistler!

I'm young, but I've heard of Jethro Tull and even listen to them

Btw, my dad has the Thick As A Brick LP (vinyl), it has a great newspaper-type design.

Oh yes, and I've even seem them live...I think about 5 or 6 years ago. Was a nice concert.

Edit: one of my favourites:

It is interesting to note that in many ways, the generation gap no longer exists. Many young people seem to like much of the stuff us old folks liked. And many older people like popular music. I've noticed more than a few example in recent years, of parents going to concerts with their kids to see groups they both like.

Jethro Tull is like sushi. If you start with the exotic stuff first, you'll never go back.

You have to start with something that suits your palate, then it slowly becomes an addiction......

But I would recommend reading the words to the songs before attempting to sing them in chat. I think I got half of them wrong.

And whatever you do, do NOT sing that one line from Aqualung if they do not know you are singing Aqualung, because everyone in chat will stop talking, and think you are a total weirdo.
