All the bands mentioned are worth praise (I saw Tull in 1969 in the Catskills and they were unknown) IMHO the best live band was the Grateful Dead and the best and most creative "studio" bands are the Beatles and Pink Floyd. (Dylan stands alone)

She's a rich man stealer
but her favor's good and strong
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate
helps the poor man get along...
Mine too. I'll share my photo, as soon as I can make it fit. It's so cool to know others "get It"
For the purists:
"Let me tell you the tales of your life
of your love and the cut of the knife
the tireless oppression, the wisdom instilled
the desire to kill or be killed.
Let me sing of the losers who lie
in the street as the last bus goes by.
The pavements are empty, the gutters run red
while the fool toasts his god in the sky."

In the beginning Man created God;
and in the image of Man
created he him.
And Man gave unto God a multitude of
names,that he might be Lord of all
the earth when it was suited to Man
And on the seven millionth
day Man rested and did lean
heavily on his God and saw that
it was good.
And Man formed Aqualung of
the dust of the ground, and a
host of others likened unto his kind.
And these lesser men were cast into the
void; And some were burned, and some were
put apart from their kind.
And Man became the God that he had
created and with his miracles did
rule over all the earth.
But as all these things
came to pass, the Spirit that did
cause man to create his God
lived on within all men: even
within Aqualung.
And man saw it not.
But for Christ's sake he'd
better start looking.
I remember reciting that over CB radio one evening when I was about 14 years old or so. People were radio-ing back in telling me how moved they were by what they assumed was my writing and religious interpretation.
Gotta laugh to keep from crying sometimes. Society. Gotta love 'em.

I am here with goose bumps reading these posts.
Do people who are the age we were when Aqualung came out feel this way about the current music?
Aqualung
Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake - Happiness Stan
Janis Joplin - Pearl
Rolling Stones - Sticky Finger
Moody Blues
Richie Havens
Crosby, Stills, and Nash
The Eagles
I hope so because it lasts a lifetime.

And I'm another one. Aqualung lived on my turntable back in high school, in the late eighties. I wore out maybe four copies of it, several of which were rescued from Salvation Army bargain bins. And, yes, it did help to shape my beliefs.
Another favorite was Benefit. It was a potent tonic for my teenage angst. And let's not forget the Best Heavy Metal Album of 1989, Crest of a Knave!
