Thread Name: Ian Anderson flute solo... NOT FOLK
Subject: RE: Ian Anderson flute solo... NOT FOLK
Yes, there is a lot of Tull that is folk... old Trad influenced and mixed with rock. Minstrel, if you will. And, of course, some contend the first heavy metal. Not where I was going initially with this thread but quite appropriately discussed.

At times, Tull (again, not the subject of this thread) has disgusted and amazed me. 40 albums. Disgusting lyrics and yet lyrics that simply transcend me. That's what it's about? No? As for Tull, both thumbs up.

Now, as for the initial post, good and bad reviews so the jury is still out I guess.
