Tull are a great band. With Ian Anderson, it's not only about the melody, but the delivery. Those snorts, laughs, and snickers are as much a part of the lyric as the words. They convey more than just a melody and a story.
Modern admirer: Eddie Vedder. Check out 'Jeremy', a classic Anderson-like delivery: "Clearly I remember, picking on the boy..."
And both Anderson and Vedder are RAGING DRUNKS!
Favorite song: 'Witch's Promise'
