You know, I can see Jesus getting a Grammy for best metal album over Metallica, but the Tull thing still irks me ;)
Paradoxically, as a huge Tull junkie, me too.
Crest Of A Knave was a really good album and “Steel Monkey” was a pretty “heavy” [for Tull] ZZ Top-ish song but it was *not* metal by anyone’s definition of the word.

Jump Start [Or Tow Me Away] was great too and had some of his best, wicked lyrics but not ‘metal’ either.
[”Hey, Jack the Ripper, won’t you come on over, hook me up to the power lines of your love”...classic]

Metallica got screwed and Ian was a pr*ck to gloat about it.
