Through the Years is a compilation album by the progressive rock band Jethro Tull. It is something of a retrospective; with songs from many different periods in the band's history. It is not a greatest hits album; as it has many songs not on such albums (Such as "Quizz Kid", "Still Loving You Tonight" and "Beastie".) It has material spanning all over the band's existence; from their first album to their folk rock trio to Aqualung to Roots to Branches. The liner notes contain a short history of Jethro Tull. (Starting humorously with the question "Didn't Jethro Tull die of a drug overdose?")
