Jethro Tull is a progressive rock band that formed in Blackpool, England in the 1960s. Their music is
marked by the quirky vocal style and unique lead flute work of frontman Ian Anderson and by unusual and
often complex song construction. Anderson has attributed the marked difference between their music and
the music of their contemporaries to the group's avoidance of narcotics. While other music groups did
influence them in their early years, they quickly developed a unique, instantly recognizable sound. The band
has endured into the 21st century, and has continued to release new albums on a semi-regular basis.
