Given the choices offered, I had to choose 'Living In The Past.' The flute melody is excellent and I love the 5/4 time signature with the claves on percussion. As a drummer, I like that. To my knowledge, it's the only song they did in an odd meter. Correct me if I'm wrong. I might be. At any rate, it's a wonderful song! Always loved it.

I chose aPP though I have a hard time with it being "a song". For songs in the strictest sense of the word I would have to say My Sunday Feeling. Oddly enough, that song did little for me until I watched the Isle of Wight disk and was just floored by the energy that opened with.

Up the 'Pool. It somehow lodged itself in a special part of my brain. Whenever I hear it I'm 15 again.

It should be stated that a piece of music that takes up an entire album is NOT a song. Therefore, I think Passion Play should also be exempt from the poll. It's an epic, I really like it, but it's more a group of songs. Just my opinion, folks.

I love that one too. So underappreciated. Woody. Evan's piano is so lovely. |

Benefit is by far my favorite Tull lp.....so I'll have to choose other and pick 'Nothing To Say' from that one.
IMHo some of Ian's best lyrics. "Climb a tower of freedom,
paint your own deceiving sign. It's not my power to criticize or to ask you to be blind To your own pressing problem and the hate you must unwind. So ask of me no answer there is none that I could give you wouldn't find. I went your way ten years ago and I've got nothing to say. Nothing to say." Edited by dr wu23 - May 06 2013 at 20:24 |

Even with Brick included my award goes to Heavy Horses, a stunning piece of music.

I can't seem to get Fylingdale Flyer out of my head these days, so that's the one for me.

So many great songs but in the end I had to go with We Used To Know. The whole Stand Up is so underrated!

For very personal reasons, my favorite song of all time. And yes, Stand Up is highly underrated.

Tull have more cool songs than anyone.
You can go for some folky tracks: Witches promise Look into the sun Up the pool Thick as a brick edit 1 One white duck Whistler Acres wild Mouse police Moths Dun ringill Jackalynn home version(not that crappy version with horrible 80s drums) Under wraps 2(not that horrible under wraps 1 lol) and more Or you can go for some heavy rockers: Teacher Aqualung Cross eyed mary Thick as a brick edit 6(the super man for president edit. I think that is edit 6) A passion play edit 3(the memory bank edit. I think that is edit 3) Warchild Queen and country Saturation North sea oil Crossword Fylingdale flyer Uniform Seal driver Awol and more Edited by dr prog - October 18 2013 at 19:17 |

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.
