What do you think is the one song that describes Jethro Tull? ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can |

I took the easy way out. I voted for TAAB because it's a long
song that goes through a bunch of changes that characterize Tull's
various styles.

I would have to agree on TAAB. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I voted fo "Songs from the Wood" (Why not TAAB you say? Well I think that long songs don't describe Tull.) |

I'd choose Living in the Past because it has all the classic Tull ingredients: unusual time signature (5/4), plenty of flute, elements of jazz, folk, blues and rock, thoughtful lyrics and an imaginative arrangement . ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

I too had to go for Thick As A Brick even though it feels like a cop out My other candidates were Songs From The Wood, Witches Promise and My God ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith!

Thick as a Brick, for sure. I does have the advantage of being
much longer than most J-Tull songs. A Passion Play is also good,
just not nearly as good.

| Maybe TAAB. But Velvet green,Hunting girl,Baker St. Muse,Moths,Flying dutchman or all the greats acoustic pieces over the years too. |

A Passion Play in my opinion! Always my favourite Jethro Tull's progressive effort!!! I don't know why...maybe because it seems to be more "humoresque" and theatrical in its essence...BTW I bought it before Thick As A Brick cause I was delighted by the stunning cover! P.S. "...bee wanted to help and thinking he had the answer began: you probably ate them, thinking they were a carrot!..." |

I don't think that's a cop out at all. Even though long songs and concept albums aren'e typical of Tull, this one in particular embodies all of the classic Tull elements, i.e. great poetry, odd time, orchestral, rock, AND folk elements, not to mention humor. good stuff all around and highly demonstrative of the bands virtuosity and versatility. |

Thick As A Brick is the only choice, although I thought about One Brown Mouse for a minute! ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |
