I didn't think I would, but I actually liked this (still...I think I could take someone like her only as a "guest singer"....and only once in a while...)!
To quote Ten Beers:

The way I see it is Ian has never been the greatest singer in the world even when his voice was great. His style is however, unique. The eccentricity, the delivery and lots of other little quirks and nuances that I can never quite put my finger on all come together to create this singular vocal style. No other singer, regardless of technical brilliance could ever hit that nail squarely on the head... No! As far as I see it, no Ian vocal, no Tull. It would be the end of Jethro Tull for me.

You are right about this. Even in its vastly diminished current state, Ian's singular vocal style still shines through, sometimes more brightly than others. You can still hear the quirks, nuances, etc., and that is why no Tull cover band can ever duplicate his vocals, or even come close as far as I'm concerned. (But the guy from Dayglo Pirates came pretty close on We used to know. Jeff

Quoting Dee Palmer in the 40th Years Anniversary DVD: "Ian Anderson is Jethro Tull!"
I can't imagine another singer in the band, and I think Ian never would do it. The day when Ian can't play the flute anymore, or can't sing, Jethro Tull will be over.

Erm, how is Yes doing these days, populated by a few key geezers and loan musicians from Yes tribute bands, not to mention the progeny of Yes men themselves? Uh. Sorry. That was uncalled for!

A very strange set up with Yes at the moment - how many versions of the band are there at the present time? It's a shame because in days of yore they were a great band but I haven't seen them in concert for many a year.

Definitely not, that would be the end of Tull.
This poll is a bad dream that I had today. ;D The horror, the horror.

I don't believe I have to spell this out! Excuse me but Lennon and McCartney had Ringo sing and it worked. George could hold his own songs. We all know that kind of example. Two things would work if the Tullies were given some vocal tone exercises: 1) harmonies to support Ian's lead vocal and 2) someone else takes lead for a song here or there, with the rest of the Tullies adding in harmonies. It adds some spice and you can take that to an Octopuses Garden's Bank.
There's four of them in addition to Ian, making a 5-part harmony live on stage. How difficult can it be to speak in notes? Crickey!

Crickey! It is a bit of a mystery why the other band members don't contribute to the vocals apart from John O'Hara recently in "Songs from the wood" on the last tour and Dave Pegg who sang a bit when he was with Tull. But here's my favourite clip of Tull with a different singer. Paul Forrest of the Jethro Tull Tribute Band "The Dayglo Pirates" and the new acoustic duo "Sossity",was a special guest of Jethro Tull at their show in Bournemouth on 16 April 2008, in honour of their 40th anniversary. He and the band perform "We Used To Know" (from "Stand Up") and "With You There To Help Me" (from "Benefit")
