'''Jethro Tull''' is a British rock band often classified as progressive rock, although they were heavily influenced by blues and folk music.  Their lead singer, [[Ian Anderson]], is well-known for playing the [[flute]] and for his quirky stage-presence.  Their most famous album is [[Aqualung]] (1971), which contains several atheist anthems, such as "My God" and "Hymn 43".  In an interview released in the 25th anniversary edition of Aqualung, Anderson noted that, although many fans in Britain and America consider the album to be the peak of the career of Jethro Tull, he does not necessarily consider it to be so, and notes that in Germany, for instance, the later album, [[Broadsword and the Beast]] (1982), is considered to be the typical and best example of Jethro Tull's music.  In the same interview, Anderson notes that Jethro Tull's relationship with [[Led Zeppelin]] was not as good as it could have been, as Anderson believes he made a joke at some point at [[Robert Plant]]'s expense.
