That's interesting since for me Benefit is one of the best in their entire catalogue and Stand Up is also one of my favorites.


Warchild has some nice tracks but Too Old is not a very good one imo.

I have always thought the later ones like A and Broadsword to be hit or miss.
I do recall a similar discussion about this in the past......
I also think Stormwatch is an underrated beauty.....

I like Stormwatch ......and imo after that one Tull didn't quite have that classic sound I liked. I still buy whatever they release but rarely play the later ones.

It's between With you there to help me, Serenade to a Cuckoo, Back to the Family and We used to know. Can't really chose, if I'm honest.

Oh and how could I forget about Dharma for one?!?!?!?? Insanely good track that oneBig smile
Also comes highly recommended played at the wrong speed - especially the drumming solo from Clive Bunker. Listening to this in double speed jolts me back to Roskilde Festival memories of sitting on a tiny golf course we'd constructed - chugging beers and whiskey - laughing our heads off. I did adore the track prior to this though, but those memories are just the icing on the cakeBig smile

Too many songs to choose from. Tull are the best band of the 70s no doubt about it. Can't wait for the Warchild remix. 3 albums worth of studio tracks. I reckon this will be just as good as the Aqualung box

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.

Probally Locomotive Breath,followed closely by Too Old To Rock N Roll Too Young To Die-the above mentioned Quizz Kid is a personal fave as well.

Iommi actually played live with them at the 'Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus' event right after Mick Abrahams quit...but they, Anderson,  didn't think he was a 'right fit' for the band.

Baker Street Muse - The best song from the best album! This was the pinnacle of JT´s mega-creative 70´s period. A song that captures more emotions then TAAB and APP together. And unlike many other epics the lyrics has something to say!
Songs From The Wood - Listening to this song - with it´s intricate melody and tight playing - makes me want to shout out to the world: People - take a break for some minutes from your autotune-muzak brainwash and listen to REAL Music just for a while!!!
 
Wondring Again - It´s a pity that this song was left out from Aqualung - it has a timeless athmosphere and concludes Wondring Aloud in a way that makes them a perfect pair. Ian never sang better than this!
