how many people still think Anderson's name is Jethro tull?
the problem of course, is that anderson writes almost everything, sings everything, and plays a wicked flute and acoustic guitar. So, he's up front visually, lyrically, vocally, and instrumentally with everything they do.
the only other person who has made a sort of indelibel stamp on their music over the years is Martin Barre, an incredibly skilled guitarist who doesnt often get his due.
