I don't think there has ever been another rock act who successfully used the flute as part of their repertoire.

Freddy Mercury played one.

I'm not sure you could hear it in their music though.

The music ended too soon because he played one. :(

I agree with VeeJay. Flute>cow bell

Traffic had flute and had some great records. Traffic, Mr. Fantasy, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, John Barleycorn, etc.

The Moody Blues feature the flute on many songs. They never played it on one leg, though.

So did JT and that song inspire the current Aqualung dude(s)?

Remember, I'm tragically unhip.

Hey Aqualung is straight from the lyrics.

I didn't even know there was a band named that and VJ is an older fart than I am.

Marshall Tucker Band featured the flute on some of their songs - "Can't you see" comes immediately to mind, although there were probably others. Then again, I guess they were more "Southern" rock than JT.

Jethro Tull >>>>>>> Metallica.
