Well, I for one do love all those old Tull albums, but this wouldn't ever work. :lol:

One thing that has to be kept in mind is that both Jimmy Page and Ian Anderson are ambitious songwriters and band leaders; each has had a very distinctive vision. It's interesting though that in a way both bands, Zep and Tull, were trying to do the exact same thing, namely to achieve a powerful mixture of hard rock, English folk and blues, with enough room for strong contrasts in terms of intensity and everything else. And despite that, they diverged stylistically so very much, right from the outset.

What's up "Otto Masson"? You make a very good observation. ROCK ON.
