Jethro Tull, famous for its unique brand of progressive rock, was formed in Blackpool, England in the 1960s. Their music is marked by the quirky vocal style and unique lead flute work of frontman Ian Anderson, and by unusual and often complex song construction, mostly after Anderson made his name as a pop songwriter of the more usual kind. Their music, though starting with blues rock with an experimental flavour, has incorporated elements of classical and celtic folk music, as well as the art rock and alternative rock phases of rock music. Despite this, it is difficult to point to specific artists who have directly influenced or been influenced by Jethro Tull, though they have been lauded by many, notably Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Pete Townshend. More than most other rock bands, their music stands apart from the rest of rock music. In interviews, Ian Anderson has attributed this "difference" to the fact that Tull never used drugs. In addition, while other music groups did influence them, they stuck with their own style of progressive rock tinged with classic forms of music.
