Which song should I start with?
Grateful Dead: “Sugaree” (90% feel-match); U2: “Zooropa” (91% feel-match); Fleetwood Mac: “Black Magic Woman” (91% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the Jethro Tull centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is Jethro Tull overall?
Across 20 measured songs, Jethro Tull averages 47/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
