AQUALUNG

I first heard this album when I was 9 years old. An older brother would listen to it religiously and try to learn the songs on guitar. The year was 1972, I believe. Of course certain songs I would recognize years down the line broadcasted on airwaves by local AOR stations. It was widely recognized and for good reason. I find Aqualung to be Tull's pinnacle. Such great song's, such great creativity, and such diverse musical attitudes. Start to finish, I am not disappointed with any track. This is a complete album. This IS an album I will play twice in a row. One song in particular I find myself needing to hear regularly is Wind Up. The subtle defiance of the character in the song really hits home personally and Anderson sings it perfectly. Aqualung is not one of those over-rated Prog albums. This is one that needs to be part of your collection. It is pure Prog Rock, not to mention Rock and Roll, history. Fill all the stars for me.
