This is the discography of the British progressive rock band Jethro Tull who formed in Blackpool, Lancashire in 1967.Initially playing blues rock, the band's sound soon incorporated elements of British folk music and hard rock to forge a progressive rock signature.
Jethro Tull's frontman and songwriter Ian Anderson was infuriated when critics called the band's previous album, Aqualung (1971), a "concept album". He rejected this, thinking it was simply a collection of songs, so in response decided to "come up with something that really is the mother of all concept albums". [2]
