The Three Best Songs By Jethro Tull

My favorite Jethro Tull story actually has more to do with Joan Jett.

Joan was in my hometown to play a show and I snagged a ride with the girl who was charged with picking her up at the airport, thinking I might grab an impromptu interview. As we took the 30 minute drive to her hotel room, I started asking her some questions from the passenger’s seat as she sat in the back with her manager, smoking a joint.

For some reason I have long since forgotten, I asked her something about Jethro Tull. Her answer, though, I remember clearly: “I hate Jethro Tull and I hate his f****** flute”.

At that point, her manager said: “OK, buddy, the interview is over…”.

Pretty funny. Here are the best three songs by Jethro Tull.

Jethro Tull – Living In The Past
Jethro Tull – Locomotive Breath
Jethro Tull – Teacher

    I’m not a major Tull fan, so I don’t dig deep into the group’s catalog. but even if I did, I think I’d be hardpressed not to start my three with “Wind Up,” the gloriusly subversive closer to “Aqualung” and a song that persuaded me that I wasn’t the only person pondering what seemed to be life’s important questions.
