Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull is a British rock band formed in 1967, known for incorporating flute, folk, and progressive elements into hard rock.
Named after the 18th-century English agriculturalist who invented the seed drill, the band is most associated with frontman Ian Anderson and albums like *Aqualung* and *Thick as a Brick*: My dad's Jethro Tull records got me into prog rock.
