Jethro Tull 1970 Teacher

In their 50 years, Jethro Tull have notched an astounding 15 gold or platinum albums in the U.S., as well as two Number One LPs. Their most famous song, “Aqualung,” has a guitar riff that’s as cutting and memorable as “Iron Man” and “Smoke on the Water,” and their music has influenced Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Porcupine Tree, Pearl Jam and Nick Cave, among others. Yet the band has not yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ( no surprise since HOF sucks) and the only time it has won a Grammy was in the Hard Rock/Metal category – a concept that seemed so preposterous to Anderson that he didn’t bother to show up.

Now, despite the singer’s apparent disinterest in anniversaries, the group – which has cycled through dozens of members over the years – is celebrating its legacy with a 50th-anniversary tour and a new compilation album, 50 for 50. For the latter release, Anderson picked 50 songs from Tull’s 21 albums for a three-CD set.

To give the group its due, Rolling Stone spoke with Ian Anderson about Jethro Tull’s history, and the singer put some of those songs in context. “I suppose in my late teens I thought, ‘There’s no way I’m ever gonna do justice to being a blues singer. It’d be farcical for me to pretend to be something that I’m not,'” he says. “So I started trying to play and begin to write songs that were a little more eclectic.” And the rest is history...
