Why the fuck aren't Jethro Tull in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?
>inb4 who gives a fuck
It doesn't matter that the Dad Rock hall of fame is culturally irrelevant, I just don't understand how one of the crowning jewels of the Dad Rock canon has never been inducted.
>inb4 jethro tull isn't dad rock
Every one of your fathers owned Aqualung.

>Every one of your fathers owned Aqualung.
My dad was born in 1978, so he likes garbage like Sonic Youth, Pavement and Tool.
but those are all good
what do you listen to?
Sonic Youth and Pavement are great. What music do you like?
death grips and grimes
Yikes, underage b& pls go
>grimes
Please tell me you're baiting.
Jesus Christ, the memes are real
Fuck Gen Z, fuck Gen X, Fuck boomers
Millenials will inherit the earth
Same with Moody Blues imo
>my dad was born in 1978
Underage
also
>Sonic Youth, Pavement, and Tool
That covers two and half decades of music, my man.
I was born in 1996.
i was born in 92 and my dad was born in 50
crazy how different our father's lives must have been even though we're roughly the same age
...
Sonic Youth released their last relevant album in 88, Pavement did everything they did between 92 and 95, and Tool was a nu-metal band from the 2000s I don't see your point.
Did you also have a child when you were a teenager like a degenerate?
Salamander Explosion
>murray street
>2002
>aenima
>1996
hmm...
kek
NME gave Murray Street like a 5 or 6 out of 10 and no one listened to Tool until craft beer dads made it cool in 2002.
This and also >Defending Tool
The hall of fame is run by baby boomer rock critics, and two genres baby boomer rock critics hate are heavy metal and progressive rock. Hence why it took many years and popular demand to get bands like Yes, Rush, and Genesis in.
actually having kids at age 18-20 was pretty "trad" until like 50 years ago
fuck you homo
So was dying of Polio
well yes but i was just saying there's nothing inherently "degenerate" about having kids at age 18
>no one listened to Tool until craft beer dads made it cool in 2002
>aenima: 3x platinum
>lateralus: 2x platinum
Get out and stay out, young blood
In the 90s, it was as degenerate as it is today.
You have no excuse past the 50s.
Sonic youth released their best album in 1994.
Pavement released their best album in 1995.
Tool released their best album in 1996.
it's obviously a joke you retarded newfags
EVOL came out in 86.
Yes, I already said that about Pavement.
Aenima isn't Tool's best album and honestly none of their albums are great.
the rock and roll hof is bullshit
Lel all these people itt trashing Tool when I bet every last one of them thinks Radiohead is good
Just make your own better hall of fame. All it is is a thing some guys decided on. You're just some guy so you're equally qualified, you just don't have a museum
I don't like Tool or Radiohead
Tool are trans*phobes and have no place on Sup Forums. Take your buttrock to Sup Forums

Well, my father introduced me to Jethro Tull. The only good thing he ever did for me.

Ah, so the Jethro Tulls of the 2030's...
>caring about NME
This better be fucking bait. That rag has been a total joke for over 20 years.
You'll never ever be a real woman. You're a 21st century freakshow.
thick as a brick is a masterpiece, glad to see this post here

You're not too good with facts, are you?
This Was [Island, 1969]
Ringmaster Ian Anderson has come up with a unique concept that combines the worst of Arthur Brown, Roland Kirk, and your local G.O. blues band. I find his success very depressing. C-
Stand Up [Island, 1969]
Fans of the group claim it's a great album. I am not a fan of the group. I think it is an adequate album. B-
Benefit [Island, 1970]
Ian Anderson is one of those people who attracts admirers by means of a principled arrogance that has no relation to his actual talents or accomplishments. He does have one undeniable gift, though--he knows how to deploy riffs. Nearly every track on this album is constructed around a good one, sometimes two; play it twice and you'll have the thing memorized. But I defy you to recall any lyrics. For all his e-nun-ci-a-tion and attention to wordcraft, Anderson can't or won't create the impression that he really cares about love/friendship/privacy, which I take to be his chief theme--the verbiage isn't obscure, but he really does make it hard to concentrate. I'm sure I hear one satirical exegesis on the generation gap, though. B-
I've listened to their entire discography probably 100s of times when I was in high school and I don't recall that lyric being in a single one of their songs.
Aqualung [Island, 1971]
Ian Anderson is like the town free thinker. As long as you're stuck in the same town yourself, his inchoate cultural interests and skeptical views on religion and human behavior are refreshing, but meet up with him in the city and he can turn out to be a real bore. Of course, he can also turn out to be Bob Dylan--it all depends on whether he rejected provincial values out of a thirst for more or out of a reflexive (maybe even somatic) negativism. And on whether he was pretentious only because he didn't know any better. C+
Thick as a Brick [Island, 1972]
Ian Anderson is the type of guy who'll tell you on one album that a whole side is one theme and then tell you on the next that the whole album is one song. The usual shit--rock (getting heavier), folk (getting feyer), classical (getting schlockier), flute (getting better because it has no choice), words. C-
Everything Rocks and Nothing Ever Dies [1990s]
Ive never liked Tool. Ive given them multiple listens, its just not for me, cant find it. But I will say there is a following with Tool and other bands that make them a "if you dont like XBand youre a faggot" And the following revolves around drug use. If I have fucking alter my state of mind to listen to something to have it sound good thats not a very good indication of it being superior. Tool, Sublime, and even going back to bands like Led Zepplin or Pink Floyd. Youll always get a drug reference for them and that seems to be the only reasoning why kids today are even going back and giving these bands a listen.
If your parents weren't teenagers when you were born you can't be a true patrician.
The younger they were, the more patrish you are.
...
Jethro Tull aren't in the HoF because the HoF is controlled by Christgaufags who hate prog.
You seeing Jethro Tull tonight at the Choctaw in Durant?
A child having a child?
Hmm...
Hey neither do I.
>inb4 who gives a fuck
No seriously OP, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is pleb shit that has no good guidelines or standards on who gets in or not. Fucking band groupies got in before influential bands like the Sex Pistols, Yes, or Jethro Tull. There's no point in bothering.
You ask a good question OP.
Jethro Tull and especially Ian Anderson are Crescent Fresh!

Nice dubs you poor old sod. (I see it's only you)
king crimson isnt in either

>Why the fuck aren't Jethro Tull in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?
Punishment for stealing Metallica's Grammy for best hard rock/metal performance.
You didn't read the rest of the OP.
I acknowledged that the Hall of Fame is corporatist, elitist, boomer bullshit--which makes me wonder why what I've always thought of as one of their seminal bands (Jethro Tull) hasn't been inducted yet.
