Ive always been a big Jethro Tull fan & can listen to pretty much all their albums but always had trouble with the Electronic albums such as 'UNDER WRAPS'. However i have mega hard time with 'CREST OF KNAVES' soley because it it may aswell be Mark Knofler on vocals lol. I understand that music is no different than fashion for long standing bands, times change as do styles but some bands do change for the worse with me. King Crimson are a great example, i never got the total transformation of their sound with the 80's albums: 'DISCIPLINE', 'THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR', 'BEAT'.. I never like Talking Heads so i certainly were never gonna go for this style. All too far from the sound idea i fell in love with.
You just have to draw a line even though they are you beloved bands.. I do have the CD's of all this later stuff but would never ever buy those later albums on Vinyl.. I truly have to draw a line with Tull Vinyl buying antics after 'STORMWATCH', well ok 'BURSTING OUT' Live LP.. I find 1979 is a good time to draw the line with most those old Prog bands cos it truly is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I did an in depth topic years ago on a music forum about Musical instrument technology predicting the musicians creative style no different with Recording technology influencing how the engineers works on albums. It is a great influence. ELP were a good example. Keith Emerson gets a Yamaha 'GX-1' around 1975 & bump the band sound is totally & utterly influenced by the next album. Influence is i suppose what got these bands off in the first place a wrecker of personal creativity down the line..
