For several years I have been writing to try and get a terrible oversight corrected. How is Jethro Tull not in the RRHOF? More than 50 years on, they still have a tremendous influence on rock music. They still tour. And the XM stations I listen to still play them quite a lot.
I first saw Tull on their (1972) “Thick as a Brick” tour. (Tull founder) Ian Anderson did a retrospective tour concert in San Diego a few years ago. And they will be back in town this year!
Can you or someone please get them on the ballot and into the Hall? Thank you.

Jethro Tull!
I enjoyed reading your article about the interesting choices for this year. I had the pleasure of visiting the Rock & Roll Hall Fame and Museum in Cleveland a few years ago.For several years I have been writing to try and get a terrible oversight corrected.

When the album came out, I don’t think I fully appreciated Farm on the Freeway. Which is odd since I was raised in a farming area that saw some of the things talked about in the lyrics. My grandfather and one of his brother used to be farmers, too.
But over time that song has risen to the very upper part of my list of favorite Tull songs. Probably another case of age giving me a different perspective on lyrics in songs.

Was that article written with the help of ChatGPT? Very flowery, overly descriptive-yet-meaningless statements. Locomotive Breath has no organ intro. Dee Palmer had nothing to do with Aqualung AFAIK. "What sets "War Child" apart from other Jethro Tull albums is its conceptual nature, exploring the theme of war in different forms." - definitely a big fat no.
The source doesn't support any of that.
