Jethro Tull, cool or no?

[Mires]

I can't or wont say if anything is cool or uncool cause I hate labeling shit like that but I will say I dislike it. I will say I dislike it alot. Sorry but I like hard rock and a flute is not hard rock.

Matter of taste I guess, but nothing from the 60s was really "hard rock".  Tull are simply a rock n' roll band made unique due to a flute.  You shouldn't be so biased against it simply because of the flute.   In any case, he doesn't play flute on EVERY song, although I have to say I like his flute solos(which are almost like "shred-flute" sometimes) as much as a good guitar solo.

You guys are elitist gobshítes,.

Trust me...I'm not elitist..you should see some of the shit I listen to

What's so uncool about Tull then??  They're so unique and Ian Anderson's such a great character onstage....

Its prog rock....plus theres a flute player. Thats pretty uncool to most people.

But I like uncool...as I said.. maybe one day I'll buy one of their albums..just out of spite.

Steve Harris likes them so they cant be all that bad right?

Im not biased just cause the flute. Ive heard alot of Tull's work and it just doesn't appeal to me. The flute is mainly what kills it for me but besides that the music isnt that great either. It sounds kind of corney. Also, Black Sabbath came in 68/69, and Aerosmith formed in 70 and to me both of those are hard rock. By the way Tull formed in 68 also. Of course its all a matter of opinion.

Prog rock and flutes uncool?  I can imagine some 12 year old linkin park fan thinking every instrument but electric guitar and drums sucked, and thinking long (and/or complex) songs boring, but I expected better from mature music fans.  I guess I'm just not very "with it" these days....

Well Ian Anderson first formed a band in 1963, they only adopted the name Jethro Tull in 1968.  But yeah, it's all opinion at the end of the day.
