That's the thing about a great band like Tull, it's hard to pigeon hole them into a particular genre. But they most definitely tread on metal grounds......

No band that has a flute, is remotely metal!
That's a prerequisite for metal. No flutes.
And at least handfull of songs about the Devil.
I disagree on the flute thing. I think it's the style of music that defines the musical style. Not the instruments. And they do have a few songs about the devil.
I'm just giving you a hard time dude.
I hung with the die hard metal crowd back in the day, and it was universally accepted that Tull wasn't metal. Nor, are flutes.
But everybody has their own opinion. Sabbath got cut slack because they started it all and they had credibility.
