Have you ever wondered how IA and Tull will be judged by future generations? Will this music be remembered at all? Will Tull be represented only by "Aqualung" and "Locomotive Breath?" (boo!) Will some of the REALLY great IA songs have a chance of surviving into the future? Will IA and the band be viewed with respect or derision? Or will it all be forgotten?
Not a fair question, since none of us will around to see if we're right or wrong, but your opinions are welcome, nevertheless!

I think Tull's music will come to be more and more respected in the future. Aqualung is like Ian's Beethoven's 5th Symphony but Thick as a Brick and Passion Play will be remembered as some of the masterful compositions of our time. There is so much to absorb in both that I still find them remarkable after 40 years. This music is like fine wine and I think rather than be forgotten they will just more and more revered through the ages. Ian and Tull were unlike any other act and the music is unlike anything else and that will make them stand out in future generations.

I can always remember my parents saying things like, 'They won't be playing Beatles songs in 40 years time', well my parents were wrong back then and they are still playing The Beatles and many other bands of the early 60's. I think with the constant resurgance of past styles and music and the fact that there are too few bands of merit out there breaking through, there will be a backlash [maybe not an over-turning] against the likes of Simon Cowell and his bland musical proteges and this will guarentee that music from classic/Prog/Rock/Folk bands will survive and live on.

He will always be much more attached to Jethro Tull than his solo period of time. The string of albums from 70 to 80 was probably some of the most thought provoking music in the world of "Rock" music. I do think that albums such as TAAB and Passion Play will gain more respect as time goes on. I think Ian will always have his critics good or bad but I think he will have a fair mount of respect. ....we need a Tull Time Machine to find out

Tull's music is timeless. I played a bit of "Cold Wind to Valhalla" for my Electronic Music Group and the guitarist loved it. He even wrote down the band name and song title to check it out later. He's about my age (20-21).

It will be remembered and even revered, side by side with Yes, Genesis, Camel, and soooo many other awesome bands from the 70's. TAAB and APP will be epic works, and others will be remembered as equal masterpieces such as Baker Street Muse. Tull, mainly the members from 68 to 79 will certainly be remembered as masters!
