Aqualung, just out of nostalgia, it was the first JT album I heard, long ago. Smile

Yes. Ten, twenty years ago it would have gone for the one with the concept and the clever stuff. But I've come to think of Aqualung the album as one of the 1970's finest collection of songs - regardless of genres.

Thick as a Brick. Actually, I do like all of Aqualung, but every single song from it I like better in some other live version.

Add me to the list. Both are fantastic and it’s hard to choose one over the other.

I like both equally, but I'm one of the guys who thinks Tull turned in their very best work ca. Minstrel through Stormwatch.

^my own favourite from the two, is Aqualung. It is an album that I had and listened to very much, "way back when", and still brings a smile to me upon hearing it today. I am quite enamoured with TAAB and very much appreciate it, but Aqualung seems to "hit the nail on the head" even more in what I previously mentioned  it dealt with. It wins, if only, for the priceless line, "And the graven image, you know who, with his plastic crucifix"Wink

Jethro Tull has had a long and chequered past, and with many great records, without a doubt. The two listed here, though, for me, stand out as their very best. Both are very adventuresome, both musically, and lyrically, and the band are definitely "firing on all six cylinders" here. Aqualung, with it's catchy, but never trite, music, and it's lyrical pokes at, and illumination of,  the sometime hypocrisy of organised religion and those that run it. And then there is the unique Thick As A Brick, the at times witty parody of a "concept album", that only Tull could pull off. Which one do you folks prefer, among these favourites of mine?
