| The Alan Parsons Project – The Tell-Tale Heart Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| JustusvV sums it up very well. Read Tell-tale heart sometime, it's only 3 or 4 pages long, and very, very well done (as most Poe is)! | |
| Jethro Tull – A Passion Play Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'd have to disagree with inpraiseoffolly. I've been a long-time Tull fan and "The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles" only adds to the song. I very much doubt that Ian was trying to "recreate" Thick as a Brick. What good would that have done him? A Passion Play shouldn't be compared to Thick As A Brick, it should be taken on it's own. Influenced by various works, including Dante's Divine Comedy, A Passion Play marks a more serious, and much more progressive style for Jethro Tull. It's not every one's cup of tea though. I've got a few pals that love it, and a few that loathe it. Either way is alright. If anyone is interested in hearing the "beginnings" of A Passion Play, take the time and look into Tull's Nightcap : The Unreleased Masters 1972-1991 (the first disc). There's some neat content on there for any die-hard Tull fan. |

| Jethro Tull – We Used To Know Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm surprised no one has commented on the idea that We Used to Know may have influenced The Eagles "Hotel California." The chord progressions are nearly identical, and the bands (Tull and the Eagles) toured together prior to the release of the song. While recording in Miami, Don Felder phoned home to California to have his maid send him a copy of the "We Used to Know" demo in order to reproduce the introduction and end solos, which may have accounted for the words "copyright in dispute" in the liner notes of the Hotel California album. Neat bit of trivia, isn't it? |
