Songs For The Wood is one of my favorites ahead of Passion Play, Heavy Horses & Minstrel

I don't mind Steel Monkey.  I like Jump Start and Said She Was A Dancer (although that sounds quite Dire Straits) as well as Budapest and Farm on the Freeway.  Also, Raising Steam is a great road-trip driving song - "I may not be coming back".  
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It has some good songs on it like Budapest and Farm on the Freeway, but Steel Monkey is quite the worst JT track I've ever heard. I f*****g hate it with a passion.

Songs from the Wood, Minstrel in the Gallery and A Passion Play are all pretty close for me. 
I'll vote A Passion Play. For the sake of spare spectacles everywhere.

That just means the album is so good it satisfied your Tull jones for that long. Wink  It was not my first album of theirs, but among them.  For me, it has a charm to it that only Songs From the Wood comes close to but none ever quite match it.  Even though that one is not my #1, I am quite glad to see that it and Passion Play are dominating the polls.  Two incredible albums and each so different from one another.

Took me a loooooooong time to appreciate it - but I went for A passion play.

Those are my top two from the list as well but maybe reverse the order.

Same here. I got "Stand Up" and got hooked to the Tull sound, and have been for the last 40 plus years. that being said, all the albums in this list are very good, so whichever album wins, it's ok by me.

Haven't listened to a Tull album in ages. Don't know how I'd list the favourites today.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I'm a big fan, I love all from the list with a plus on Songs from the Wood, my fav JT album ever. It was the first album I've hered from them and still have a soft spot fot it, a perfect combination between prog and folk.

Passion follows and A for me, a very under rated album for sure.

Where's "A"? 

Much maligned but I love it....not as much as Stand Up, Benefit, APP or SFTW but it should be more appreciated than it is.
