So you ride yourselves over the fields and You make all your animal deals and Your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.  ------------- And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime. I never said I was frightened of dying. |

I dig Jethro in the 70's. Benefit is not to be ignored. Minstrel, the brick,and Songs from the wood are each remarkably original, my least favorite being Aqualung( it has to be the over-played factor, for the album itself stands mightily when compared to it's rock peers) Tull deserves it's standing as one of prog's greatest bands. ------------- Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare if thou hast understanding? |

A Passion Play was the Tull album that really grabbed me. TAAB is a close second. Another favourite is the underrated Warchild. |

Thick as a Brick is their masterpiece. Aqualung, Benefit, Minstrel, Passion Play, Songs from the Woods, Heavy Horses are all masterpieces of folk-prog-rock as well though. -------------

| They're all great albums by a great band, but my fave is Aqualung followed by Thick as a Brick. |

The 'best' has to be Thick as a Brick....but my favorite--Aqualung. Tull entered the progressive realms with this album and it was the first were Anderson's lyrics take center stage. I prefer it to TaaB because they still had the bluesy element, mixed in with some folk, and Barre's guitar (and Anderson's acoustic) was still the main attraction musically. People -- what have you done -- ------------- If you don't stand up You don't stand a chance! |
