Aqualung (Jethro Tull)

Aqualung
Jethro Tull (1971)
Top Tracks: “Aqualung”, “Cross-Eyed Mary”, “Locomotive Breath”

One of the most interesting and unique bands on this list, Jethro Tull can be deeply cerebral and oddly prurient, with bizarre lyrical themes that paint uncomfortable pictures. This was a band that I definitely got into on my own as part of my youthful exploration of progressive rock. As improbably as this sounds, I remember that MTV actually aired an hour-long prog rock special that featured bands like ELP, King Crimson, Genesis, and Tull, and I taped it on VHS and rewatched it many, many times (May 2020).
