A prog-rock band formed in the late 60's that had huge hits in the 70's, won a heavy metal grammy in the 80's, and still rocks and tours in the new millenium. Always known for complicated lyrics, rhythms and time signatures. Jethro Tull has mellowed over the years, but they still pluck a mean mandolin. Fronted by Ian Anderson and Martin Barre. Unfortunately this important group has been totally ignored by the brown-nosing hacks at the lame-ass "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame".
Tull (Jethro) = Jethro Tull
Hippie: "Man, Jethro Tull was bigger than the Beatles and the Stones back in the day and they're NOT in the fuckin' Rock Hall of Fame!?"
Stoner: "Yup, but who the fuck cares. The Hall of Fame is a complete sell-out, lame-ass, ass-kissing, political, bullshit institution, man."
Hippie: "Man, yer right, I guess. Hey, don't bogart that joint."

Members include: Ian Anderson (guitar, vocals, guitar), Marten Barre (guitar, flute), Andrew Giddings (keyboard) and many more

"Are you going to the Jethro Tull concert?"
"That guy we learned about in science for inventing the drill?"
"You are an idiot."

(v.) The act of incorrectly assuming that a band whose name is a person's name is the name of a member of said band. This is most common by assuming that the band Jethro Tull's front man is actually named Jethro Tull, when, in reality, his name is Ian Anderson.
It is also common with the bands Gogol Bordello, Steely Dan, and Pink Floyd.

Mike: Did you see how amazingly Gogol Bordello can play his guitar?
Jeff: Dude, quit Jethro Tulling, the guy's name is Eugene Hütz, but he is most definitely amazing!

Fronted by Ian Anderson (the flute-playing, codpiece-wearing badass), this band is behind the brilliance of songs such as "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath" as well as the concept album "Thick as a Brick."

Goofus: *Gentle fluted tune plays*
Gallant: Oh that is so nice to hear, you're actually cultured! When did you take up the flute Goofus?
Goofus: *HNNNGGHH*

*Flute drops in toilet on top of cake of feces*
...FUCK that's the stuff!!! *Shivers* I haven't shat like that since the Gulf War. I passed that beast standing up too, with my foot on the toilet roll dispenser. Kind of like Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. That turd dilated my asshole to the circumference of a basketball hoop and hit the water like the fucking wreckage of the Challenger explosion. Thick as a brick dawg! I even stole a flute from the local grade school to play a little Aqualung! But just dropped it in the shitter. Chang isn't gonna get that one back hahaha! *Shivers* Wowwww bro, you ever shit so hard it lowers your body temperature??? Think my butthole just sneezed
Gallant: Shut the FUCK UP!!!

an amazing prog/folk/hard/blues rock band founded in 1968 by the most bad ass flautist ever, Ian Anderson. their first album was This Was, followed by Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung,(their most commercial album, but quite possibly one of the best), Thick As A Brick, and countless others. The only two consistant band members since the band's inception are Martin Barre (guitarist) and Ian Anderson(singer, flautist).
to the faggot who said the beatles are heavier than Tull, listen to My God, Aqualung, Hymn 43, Cross eyed Mary, Locomotive Breath, or To Cry You A Song. all great, hard rock Tull songs.
Jethro Tull rules.
