Not one of Tull's best known albums but this is a jem!
Jethro Tull may not be to everybodies taste but to me they are probably one of the finest of the UK prog rock bands of the seventies. Even here it is debatable if it is right to categorise them as just prog rock. With the hugely talented Ian Anderson at the helm they venture very competently into folk and jazz spheres. Anderson's writing is clever, witty and musically unique. You may however need to listen many times to really appreciate a piece but when you get it it is a joy. A Passion Play fits into this position more than most. It has very heavy classical overtones (especially as the whole album is one track). When I first heard it as a Tull fan I didn't like it at all but now enjoy it enormously. It has such musical depth in all its parts and is so rewarding. This isn't for the lightweight. It is a challenge, but it is also such a delight as I discovered when I returned to it after not hearing it for a couple of decades. Enjoy if you dare! Like your favorite tartan slippers it will never be fashionable but you will love it.

A selection from one of the 60's most iconic bands
This is just a sample of what The Doors and Jim Morrison produced. If you just want the "greatest hits" then this is for you. The Doors are up there with the most influential bands of this era and Morrison was another flawed genius who sadly died so young. There is so much more than this to the Doors music, and indeed Morrisons poetry that also appear on their albums. Buy this CD by all means as it is very good, but please go on to to listen to their other work. It can be very dark but also thought provoking and so rewarding.

It's a glue and it works
A good quality glue that sticks heels and soles very well.
