Tull

Tull was a unique phenomenon in popular music history. Their
mix of hard rock, folk melodies, blues licks, surreal, impossibly
dense lyrics, and overall profundity defied easy analysis,
but that didn't dissuade fans from giving them 11 gold and
five platinum albums. At the same time, critics rarely took
them seriously, and they were off the cutting edge of popular
music since the end of the 1970's. But no record store in
the country would want to be without multiple copies of each
of their most popular albums (Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as
a Brick, Living in the Past), or their various "best
of" compilations, and few would knowingly ignore their
newest releases. Of their contemporaries, only Yes could claim
a similar degree of success, and Yes endured several major
shifts in sound and membership in reaching the 1990s, while
Tull remained remarkably stable over the same period. As co-founded
and led by wildman-flautist-guitarist-singer-songwriter Ian
Anderson, the group carved a place all its own in popular
music. |
