Heavy Prog Music from the depths of the 70s

This is either everything you love about it, or the entire reason you hate this genre.

I love it, but can only take it in moderation.

1. Hubby doesn't consider it to be the best example. Yes, close to the edge is his pick.

Tull is awesome no matter what you call it.

4. Yes is the gold standard, but Jethro Tull was definitely Progressive IMHO

Along with many other bands like ELP, King Crimson, and even old Supertramp too.

I just love this record so much

5. I quoted him wrong. Not best example, not not prog. Agrees W your list.

11. Also, good call on Closer to the edge

I think Roundabout was radioed to death, All Good People reminded me of Supertramp and Starship Trooper was too noisy.

All good songs, but Closer to the Edge is pretty close to flawless.

I have a soft spot for this one too - Not a classic but a cool jam and a fun song to bust out after some whiskey

2. Dude, almost killed it before the vocals started....

It was a long minute intro. But I love Ian Anderson. He has such a distinct and interesting vocal style. It's like listening to a bar room crooner in the 1700's... Once the vocals kicked in I was so down with this.

Don't know if you saw the post, I was playing a video game set in S. America and this was on one of the radio stations in the game. I was positive this was Tull. Positive. 100% Positive. So sure I wasn't taken aback by the vocals in Spanish.... Great fucking tune.

6. Very nice

I'll have to bust it out for my Puerto Rican Coworker - If I ever get out of the damn house

9. Right on man!

I'll post a couple more for you. The classic rock station in the game just killed. There was a Steve Miller kinda dude, a Jimi kinda guy. Let me research and I'll get a couple up for you.

12. One more for you

Ricardo Soule - Viejos Amigos de la Ciudad

13. It's like ZZ Top but from the other side of the Rio Grande Mud

14. My favorite Top album

Couple bands back I did a killer version of Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell. I think Ohiogal would back me up on that. She's heard a live version. Killer song. Killer record man!

And I can't find out who the latino Jimi is. Best I can do is go to the 6 7 point....

7. Yes indeedy, very Tull-like sound there!

Funny JT has come up here because a friend sent me this just recently

Just amazing. Ian Anderson and his flute noises.
