I really don't think they belong here. Some heavy edges don't make a metal band.

For crying out loud, that year Jethro Tull won over METALLICA.... Now, who's more metal, JT or Metallica  ? And, for your information, I am a huge fan of Jethro Tull (saw them three times, and am going to see them a fourth in the summer), and have nearly all their albums. They could be VERY heavy ("Aqualung" is proof enough of that), but that doesn't mean they're metal. I hope I made my point clear.

Maybe the guitars are heavy with some of the same riffs, the song Aqualung with growl vocals and no more flute would be like metal or before metal, still if Grammys are idiots then award may be wrong as proof of heavy metal but jethro tull is good band with some metal and some flute both, but not wimpy flute like classical but maybe new category for heavy flute but maybe tull is seen better without the flute and more heavy so forget the flute and hear heavy metal guitars on aqualung or when Iommi was member of Tull.

No one said you're an idiot - the Grammy people were, though.

My Mom says I'm not an idiot, anyway, Aqualung sounds like Black Sabbath except the flute, but Tony Iomi played flute too, on one Sabbath song even, also Iommi played with Tull and maybe got some ideas for new heavy metal sound through jam sessions.

They did because the people there were idiots. I have that album (Crest of a Knave), and it isn't metal by ANY stretch of the imagination.

That's a stretch. Even for Folk metal. Tull has their place on PA.

What about Jethro Tull? Didn't they win a Grammy once for best metal band?
