Jethro Tull Line Up Sheet

Formed five decades ago, Jethro Tull became one of the most successful progressive rock groups during the 1970s. The band stood out from their competition as the band's frontman Ian Anderson played the flute, giving the band its distinct sound. Aside from Anderson, the casual music listener probably doesn't know any of the other members of the band. Throughout their career, Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre have been the band's two mainstays. Although Barre is no longer in the band, he was with them for a long amount of time from 1968 till 2011. Below is the band's (near) complete line up history.
