A Weird JT Question

Yeah, another VS poll, but for a good reason. 

I've heard four Tull albums, Aqualung, TAAB, HH, and Stormwatch.  I like all of them, (Yes, even Stormwatch.) but one opinion of mine seems to conflict with the norm. 

I find Heavy Horses to be absolutely brilliant (almost on par with TAAB).  With Aqualung, on the other hand, I hear a band that is still developing.  The arrangements aren't anywhere NEAR the quality of those on Aqualung; and Heavy Horses sounds much tighter (Thank you Mr. Barlow!).  These are only some of the things that I feel the latter has over the former.  Don't get me wrong, AQ is still great, but why do some folks seem to prefer it over HH?  

Just wond'ring. That's aloud isn't it?  

I agree too.  In fact, I put both Aqualung and Benefit at a much lower vote than many of the albums released afterwards.  There's a real good string of albums from Living in the Past, Thick as A Brick, Passion Play, War Child, Songs From the Wood, and Heavy Horses.

Heavy Horses is so much better than Aqualung. When Aqualung was first released I thrashed it to bits and now it is the least listened to of my JT catalogue. Some great songs on it but it less superior overall and overrated.

I love almost all Jethro Tull........Don't like Under Wraps

Heavy Horses is one of my fav's  but....

Aqualung is better!!.......sorry

It just is one of those records that hangs togther in that classic way. Not that HH doesn't have some great stuff, but Aqualung feels like one focused musical statement, while HH feels (to me at least) like a collection of songs.

Okay, I can see that.
