Living in the past, as a complete showcase of tull at its beginnings (and because it was my first encounter with my beloved band also). Specially love the live side. Also, i'm very attratted to bursting out, which shows the growth of the band at the end of the 70's.
Please forgive me for my crappy english!

    I had to go with A Passion Play. It was my first Tull album. I do have many of the others and love most of them, but A Passion Play will alway hold the top spot for me.

    A comment for Zargus: buy Minstrel in the Gallery first. A Passion Play is a big disappointment in an amazing list of great consecutive albums, Stand Up - Stormwatch. Then came another failure, A, but the worst album Tull has ever done is Under Wraps. All the other ones are marvellous, in my opinion. This Was and Catfish Rising are also weaker than other albums, but still worth giving a try. In fact, even A and A Passion Play have their moments, but I would recommend not to start from either of those or you will get a wrong impression of Tull.

    I can't choose between Aqualung, Thick as a Brick and Minstrel in the Gallery.

    All albums I've heard (11+) are 4 stars or over so it's really hard to choose.

    My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

    If I had to vote with a prog-taste I would say "Thick as a Brick" but in a period of time (the end of seventies) in which everything seemed to be lost (I mean great music) An album like Songs from the wood showed how a ten years career band nearly considered overcamen was able to produce a brilliant, fresh, full of ideas,joyful music...(despite of punk)

    Christmas Album.
    I really, really love that one. perfect sound, perfect playing, perfect songs. And, it's got a wonderful atmosphere!

    Other than that, I like almost all albums up to 79, plus Dot Com and A Little Light Music. I don't like Minstrel in the Gallery or A Passion Play, though...
     I voted for heavy Horses, since that was my fave before Chrismas Album came out.

    I chose THick as a Brick, but I really like Warchild which seems to be underappreciated.

    At least one of them (preferably Broadsword) should be here instead of A little light music, which is a live album as we all know.

    I voted for Songs From The Wood of course!

    IT's just because those are the JT albums i have!And i wanted to see what people here say about those albums.A little light music was just a copy/paste mistake..But thanks for your comments!
