Pete from Boston (and NJ):
Jethro Tull was where the nerds and the rockers overlapped. Some Tull albums are flat-out blues rock, some are noodling prog odysseys, but there are a few points both agree on. I think "Stand Up" is a stand-up album. It would be easy to convince a lot of people "Cat's Squirrel" is a lost Cream B-side. |

Can we talk about how awesome the covers are for both Yes and Tull albums? My father got into Tull purely because of the covers :P Also, on a related note, I went to a geek convention in Boston last weekend, and saw Roger Dean, who designed all the popular Yes covers. He was a nice gentleman. | |

I should shut up now, but Usenet was king before anyone used the web (which was all just yellow words in lists then anyway). The second-most popular thing I knew of on the internet was Gopher, which was -- you got it -- more lists of yellow words that you used the arrow keys to get around. Oh, and, we liked it that way. |

But there are always long-attention-span people or conoisseurs who like even kind of indulgent stuff. Here's wiki on the Clash album you referenced: "Sandinista! was voted the best album of the year in The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop critics poll, and it was ranked number 404 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003. Slant Magazine listed the album at number 85 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s" in 2012." |

Twenty-odd years ago I met Ian Anderson and Martin Barre in a hotel. They looked gaunt, weathered, and small but menacing -- sinister gnomes, basically. Unable to find anything else the pen would show up on, I asked Ian Anderson to autograph the only light-colored thing I had. He paused for a minute and rolled his eyes, then bent over and wrote his name on my pants. |
