Cardiacs have 3 very high rated albums on PA but unfortunately the one with the flower on the cover is the one I don't know at all. Sing To God is really good and I would have picked that over On Land And In The Sea personally.

and as far at Tull goes I only really love Aqualung. People say TAAB is amazing but I always feel underwelmed by it. APP is more interesting imo.

I would be surprised if you did not prefer A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window over On Land and in the Sea. I chose that duo partially because they have similar ratings commonly, both came out sequentially at the end of the 80s (1988 and 1989) and I happen to love that line-up with Sarah Smith on sax and William D. Drake on keyboards (and vocals). I do really like Sing to God too which was my fist Cardiacs album, and it was "Dirty Boy" off it, such great, great song, imo, that first really turned me on to Cardiacs. On Land and in the Sea took some time for me to love (not as easy as various other Cardiacs albums for me, and I was already into most of its other albums before getting into it). Two others I really love and think essential are the compilation album Songs for Ships and Irons and the live All That Glitters Is a Mares Nest.

As for JT, I almost went with APP -- toss up. I prefer Aqualaung, as well as Stand Up and Benefit to it.

Do you want to drop your next contenders?

To me it's not about bettering. I see them as different. Differences in line-up, time... And as I said, I was fine with skipping it altogether. To me I see this as about the specific albums rather than the band, so it makes more sense for Richard's new suggestions to be based on the Jethro Tull albums rather than choosing an album that I did not mention. No forgiveness required; no big deal to me either way. As he chose APP, we can count my Cardiacs suggestions as unofficial (but at least good for a little conversation, and I care more about the conversation even if I haven't always the mind or time to engage in such things with any depth or intelligence). Thanks for the thoughtful posts.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
