Why they might be annoying:

    They considered Navy Blue and Bag of Blues as band names before settling with Jethro Tull.
    Their first single '6 inches, Sunshine Day,' made no impact on the British charts or the U.S. charts.
    Mick Abrahams quit the band because he felt he was being up-staged by Ian Anderson.
    They experimented with drugs and alcohol.
    Since the mid-70's, they have not been well liked by critics.
    They've released two Christmas albums.
    They have a revolving door-type of system when it comes to members.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their song 'Aqualung' has one of the greatest opening guitar riffs ever.
    Their album 'War Child' was certified Gold with its pre-order sales.
    Tony Iommi played guitar for Jethro Tull for a few weeks before forming Black Sabbath.
    John Glascock died from complications of heart surgery (1979).
    They had been described as blues, metal, folk and progressive.
    They ranked 61 on VH-1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.
    Although having had many current and former band members, they never tortured their fans with breaking up, reforming, breaking up, reforming and so on.
