Swap out APP for Stormwatch and that's where I'm at.
Nah, get rid of Passion and put in Stand Up.

You gotta love the dispute between Tull fans LOL

But no, I will never get rid of the Play. It got me taped. Shocked

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.

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

Passion Play gets plenty of love imo; it has many ardent fans here.......and regarding Minstrel 3.99 might as well be 4.

Too Old ... is great, but underrated Jethro Tull's masterpiece and yet from their best period - the middle of seventies Wink
It was my second choice. I like it more than TAAB
Three best Jethro Tull's albums are actually three sadly underrated albums imo; A Passion Play, Songs from The Wood  (the best prog folk album of 70s prog in general) and Too Old...

1)Thick As a Brick (Best pure prog album of all time)
2)Aqualung (another masterpiece)
3)Heavy Horses
4)Songs from the Wood
5)Stand Up

Benefit could go in there but I think I prefer SU and SFTW.

1 Aqualung
2 TAAB
3 Songs From the Wood
4 Heavy Horses
5 Minstrel in the Gallery.

Not really particularly keen on any of the rest, though they all have their moments.
