Modern Shredders Have Nothin' on Martin Barre

The young 'uns call it New School but Martin Barre was shredding forty years ago.  (WIKI:  Martin Barre)

AOR (i.e. Album-Oriented Rock) was mostly started with "Aqualung" and there may have been others without Jethro Tull's stature but Tull radicalized the approach to rock with the concept.

Ed:  is this a history lesson?

Nah, I love this band as much as the kid in "Armageddon."
