Thick as a Brick is the classic album for me. Benefit is probably my second favourite, and I would recommend it is a starting point,

Nah Thick as a Brick isn't as good as a Passion Play it is a bit repetetive and not as good in theme as A Passion Play.
Another emotional suicide, overdosed on sentiment and pride

In short :
 
1. Stand Up
 
2. Aqualung
'Sundown,yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast.....
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.'

Thick as a brick is a genius work, A passion play is a weaker attempt

I'd probably leave Minstrel and A passion play until last. I'd happily take the following remasters before Minstrel and A passion play. I have no doubt that all the following have more listening time of strong music
 
Stand up(1969)
Benefit(1970)
Aqualung(1971)
Living in the past(1972)
Thick as a brick(1972)
Warchild(1974)
Songs from the wood(1977)
Heavy horses(1978)
Stormwatch(1979)
A(1980)
Broadsword(1982)
Crest of a knave(1987)
Catfish rising(1991)
Nightcap(1993)-includes some good catfish and broadsword extras
Roots to branches(1995)
Dotcom(1999)

Jethro Tull
 
If you get Aqualung, you will be left with a wrong impression of the band, or thats what happened to me.  you'll be looking for music similar to that album.  you should save this fro last.
 
Begin with Minstreal in the Gallery.  Its a great listen to, not pretentious like Passion Play, yet captivating unlike Too Old Too Rock and Roll: Too Yong To Die. 
 
Thick as a Brick ( Simply Impeccable)
War Child (Get This the get Aqualung)
Beast and The Broadsword
Stand Up
 
AlthoughI own them,
 
Stormwatch
Heavy Horses
Benefit
 
are no that great, they are decent at best, good, but not essential
 
hop this helps

I don't have that much of Jethro Tull albums but I recommend you start with Thick as a brick or with Songs from the wood. BUT! whatever you do,  be sure to listen to A passion play before you die.

minstrel is pretty lacklustre. Heavy horses blows it away :D. The acoustics on heavy horses are so much more interesting. They would have been much harder to write than most of the stuff on Minstrel. Ians voice sounds like he inhaled helium on Minstrel
