Jethro Tull - Aqualung (1971)(Remaster Edit 1998)
Named after an innovator in the world of farm equipment and led by a codpiece-wearing flutist, this band seemingly had two strikes against it from day one. But Jethro Tull managed to craft some of the most enduring cerebro-rock of the '70s, highlighted by this still-bracing set. With its juxtaposition of power rock and bucolic folk, the twisting, turning title track distills the band's complex sound perfectly -- which helps explain its protracted reign on classic-rock radio. But that's not the whole story. Ian Anderson's complex, philosophical treatises -- characterized by "My God" and "Cross-Eyed Mary" -- delved deep into spirituality without engaging in proselytizing of any stripe. And for those who could care less about such tale spinning, Martin Barre unspooled scads of memorable, lapel-grabbing guitar riffs, like those that vein "Locomotive Breath" and "Wind-Up." That balance of darkness and light, heaviness and ethereality, brought Tull into the public consciousness, and -- that ill-fated Heavy Metal Grammy aside -- they reside there for millions to this day...D.
