From the list I'd pick Cross Eyed Mary, even though it's the third best track on Aqualung (after Aqualung and Locomotive Breath).
But my favourite 70s Tull track is Moths.

Considered voting 'Jack-in-the-Green' but that damn Mary gets me every time. Dirty girl.

From this list......Skating Away......by a long way ....a unique song....I do not tire of it.
Amazing melody, amazing musicianship and Ian's vocals are at their peak.

Surprised I'm the first for "Baker St. Muse..." I think it's their finest Prog moment.

Going down the list, I thought I was going to have a tough time choosing (maybe even abstain), until X-eyed Mary showed up >> no brainer in this list.

A lot of great songs and a difficult choice. But it has to be Heavy horses - everytime I hear it it moves me almost to tears (well, not exactly but in some way :-) ) There was melancholy about vanishing old world in it even more than 35 years ago...

Mean while back in the year... one...?
Seriously, I listen to Skatin Away at least one time everyday. There is no lyrics that speaks to me so as this one (perhaps Wondring Again and Just Trying to Be came close).
Simply put: 'cause you were bread to humanity and sold to society
And I just love the "concept" of your life confusing with something you're seeing and that thing stage/audience (I Just wake up and cannot put exaclty in words... perhaps before another cup of coffe).

"Heavy Horses" and "Baker street muse" deserves my honorary mention of favourites.
