Oh and how could I forget about Dharma for one?!?!?!?? Insanely good track that one  Also comes highly recommended played at the wrong speed - especially the drumming solo from Clive Bunker. Listening to this in double speed jolts me back to Roskilde Festival memories of sitting on a tiny golf course we'd constructed - chugging beers and whiskey - laughing our heads off. I did adore the track prior to this though, but those memories are just the icing on the cake |

It's between With you there to help me, Serenade to a Cuckoo, Back to the Family and We used to know. Can't really chose, if I'm honest.

That's interesting since for me Benefit is one of the best in their entire catalogue and Stand Up is also one of my favorites.
Warchild has some nice tracks but Too Old is not a very good one imo.
I have always thought the later ones like A and Broadsword to be hit or miss. |
I do recall a similar discussion about this in the past......
I also think Stormwatch is an underrated beauty..... |
I like Stormwatch ......and imo after that one Tull didn't quite have that classic sound I liked. I still buy whatever they release but rarely play the later ones.

Baker Street Muse, easy easy easy. If no epics then its One White Duck. Minstrel is my favorite Tull album.

I don't often listen but:
My God
Cross Eyed Mary
Locamotive Breath
Hymn 43
Aqualung is that the whole album?
the usual suspects I guess..

Benefit was indeed special - the band's first great album. Warchild was a fitting follow-up to A Passion Play, and Too Old' was awful (did like the title track though). As for Broadsword, well... (did like the title track!).

Jack-a-Lynn from the Best of Acoustic Tull. Best Tull song never released on a proper Tull album.

So many great ones off of the album, "Songs from the Wood." But, my all-time favorite of any Tull tune (happens to be from "Songs from the Wood") is: Pibroch: Cap in Hand. Love the metal-guitar opening and closing and all the nuanced changes in-between. A very under-rated great one from Ian Anderson...

^ Funny one should mention the track Clasp - Broadsword is such an under-rated album from Tull. As is 'A'...... |
It was the first Tull album I heard, when I was about 15. There are albums of theirs I much prefer but Clasp is a great song! As is Pussy willow.
