Best Jethro Tull studio album

1)Thick As a Brick (Best pure prog album of all time)

2 people chose Under Wraps......seriously....????

A Passion Play certainly deserves more love and good reviews. Even more after the Extend Performance boxset which I cant say enough how much it give justice to the Play.

I also whish to see Minstrel finally with a full 4 stars in PA. 3.99 irritate my nerves

A Passion Play - hands down!

1) Songs from the wood
2) TAAB
3) Aqualung
4) Heavy Horses
5) Benefit

SFTW and HH were/ are high regarded by Tull's fans but it's pretty clear that the prog audience now & in general are praised some far, say, less interesting 70s Prog Folk albums instead of those two Tull's releases (especially SFTW which is musically the very best album of 70s Prog Folk), although both were regarded in 70s as the best prog folk masterpieces released in that golden decade. Strange really, because both SFTW and HH are passed the time test and both sound today not dated all all.

Those two Tull releases are number 3 (SFTW) and number 18 (HH) in the top prog folk albums here on PA so hardly ignored, especially considering that #1 and 2 are also Tull albums.  They are both great albums.  If you mean that those who listen to a lot of prog folk don't necessarily pick the two Tull albums as the best of the sub genre, that might well be true.  There's a lot of great prog folk out there from the 1970s and more recently.

When I talk about overrated and underrated albums in general, so not only about these two by Tull, I never do that with the PA charts in mind. Yes, I mean that those who listen to a lot of prog folk rarely pick SFTW as the best album of the subgenre released in 70s, although SFTW is like, without a question, "CttE" for 70s Prog Folk.
