Not to defend the Hall of Fame, but didn't they induct Zappa posthumously? Maybe they were trying to take a stab at other prog musicians by inducting the guy who not only was dead, but who clearly would have been indifferent if not antagonistic towards the idea.

Great musician! Wonderful man!

I'm not surprised at all. The supposed Hall of Fame is controlled by a small group of peopel with ties to the music industry and thus is decidedly against the whole progressive music genre. Longevity and musicianship is not nearly as important as selling records quickly and showmanship. Maybe one year Tull, Yes, and Rush will all get in, but I highly doubt it.

I hold this man at the highest regard - both as a man, and musician. Tull's music is much more calculated than what we hear on the radio now a days, and was very advanced for its own time as it still is. They combined complexity with simplicity in a way that no other band before, or since, did.

Every word that's coming out of his mouth can't be seen coming. Brilliant musician and human being.

my sentiment exactly, including the part about being 16...the intellectual bent of tull and anderson's music is amazig, and they are simply lovers of creativity....history, music, mythology...their music is audio poetry

If you don't like Jethro Tull don't worry, it's considered to be intellectual rock so it's not your falut... you can just stick to your simple minded music instead of something that's to complex for you to comprehend.

I'm 16 and I am a tull fan, and I will admit that even though I was never alive to see tull in their prime in the 70s and 80s, Tull is one of the most underrated bands in history....I am super suprised that tull isn't in the rock and roll Hall Of Fame yet... they are such a good band.

This man is one of the best musician in the history.His concerts especially in the end of 70´s were extraordinary.His voice so natural but perfect, his flute virtuosity, very good guitar playing and his moving around the stage....Perfect, even I´m not a big fan of JT |
