Benefit. I think everything is just perfect about it. What a genuinely awesome folkrock-band Jethro Tull was back in 1969/1970! Man what great tunes! Post-Aqualung Tull are still mostly great, but everything feels more like "The Ian Anderson Project", and they sort of lost their groove. I can't think of any riffs as memorable as To Cry You a Song (or Cross Eyed Mary) from after 1971.

Aqualung is my absolutely choice. Thick as a Brick, as Jan Anderson has said it himself, is over the top for me - and I've given it a very good try.
And so, Benefit is my number two.

Hard to choose. My intro to progressive music was Jethro Tull, so their music has a special place in my heart. Stand Up was the first album I heard from their discography, so Is quite special to me. Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play are two monsters of masterful music. The rest are quite enjoyable, to say the least, and I certainly listen to them quite frequently.

Aqualung for sure. I'm not big on folky Jethro which I realize is a considerable amount of their albums.

It is a tie between Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses. I voted for the former, just to even up the tally at this point. After that, it is Thick as a Brick, Benefit, Minstrel in the Gallery, and Stormwatch, A Passion Play, Stand Up, and then Aqualung. Let's not forget their great live album, Bursting Out.

Thick As A Brick is just unbeatable in their discography. It's not that they don't have other great records, but that one... magic.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
