Same here, with my favourite album overall being Jethro Tull's only Symphonic Prog album..... "Ian Anderson Plays the Orchestral Jethro Tull." Thumbs Up

Both brilliant, but I prefer Thick as a Brick a bit over Aqualung.

 I went with Aqualung here. TAAB has some great moments but I find it hard to sit through the entire album/song.

Aqualung. Never been much of a fan of Brick. I’m more of a Passion guy.

Definitely Aqualung for me. I have found Thick as a Brick to be a slog to get through most of the time (not that I have listened to either in full for many years -- I own both on cassette). I prefer all of the pre-TaaB albums to TaaB.

Aqualung is good but it's barely a warmup for TAAB.

Neither a favorite of mine - too much muck to wade thru on TAAB and while I dig Martin's playing in general, it's too samish throughout A'lung, especially the leaning on the acoustic guitar for much of the second half.  I much prefer TAAB to A'lung but haven't put either on in yonks.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I kind of think that every Tull album is more or less tied from Stand Up through Heavy Horses - then the rest have ups and downs.  

Aqualung - the band fully coming into their own, interesting mix of heavier rock, longer compositions, and tiny personal confessional pieces - truly a work of beauty

TAAB - something that makes the musician in me tremble in awe - the audacity of pulling it off, and they way they did it - Ian writing bits overnight and the band learning it and playing it the next day - and the sheer inventiveness required to make a 44 minute song never boring - just amazing

But lets talk about Under Wraps.....
