Hey gang,
Are there any Tull fans out there?
I just started listening to an old album of theirs,
"Broadsword and the Beast", and am realising what
a talanted lyricist Ian Anderson is (at least I
think he wrote their lyrics...)
Broadsword... is full of nautical references, but
also lots of the usual imagery to do with love and
relationships, something I'm only just seeing this
time around. "Flying Colours" describes two people
trying to disguise a relationship break up, and
"Slow Marching Band" says a lot about parting and
loss, at least to me.
To the nub of it then: I have "Broadsword..." and
"Rock Island" (on a 12" picture disc, no less) and
am looking for recommendations for what album(s)
to hunt out next, given that I like these two.
Any takers?
