Hammond for sentimental reasons - he was the Bassist when I first discovered the mighty Tull.

Glasscock followed closely by Cornick then Peggy.
Jeffrey was an artist first and a musician, well somewhat further down than second. But without Jeffrey, Tull would have been the poorer. He largely produced the TAAB album cover and his contribution to Tull albums from 1971 to 1975 was immeasurable. So I have a real soft spot for J H-H. |

Absolutely Glen Cornick; the taste and certainty of the playing more than any virtuoso leanings, and Glen, after all, was the original, the genuine article in the genuine band, not the new jar with a Tull label on it. Hammond was just Ian Anderson's best friend, like many of his band sidekicks, decent musicians, but no more than that. Ian Anderson preferred to surround himself with serfs.

I was really surprised to see Jeffrey winning this but then I spotted the word 'favourite' in the original question. Of course, for someone who was given the bass lines and was made to learn them by heart before the recordings, he was not bad at all. But that was about it when it came to palying the bass guitar. I cannot deny his marvellous showmanship live in concert, although there's little footage of that left. That being said, although Jefferey is possibly my second favourite Tull member after Ian, Glenn gets my vote with John Glascock a very close second.

Glenn Cornick, Hammond Hammond and then Glascock. Of course you have to mention Pegg, too.

Hammond was the best showman by far. Pegg's better work can be heard on Fairport albums.

Even though Hammond played on the best JT albums, my vote goes to Glascock. |

Glenn Cornick for his great work on Stand Up, especially Bouree and the mighty bass riff on A New Day Yesterday.

I can't vote but I have to say Hammond-Hammond. Him jumping around in that zebra suit, with matching bass guitar, in the Minstrel In The Gallery promo video from the Paris show was one of the things that got me hooked on JT, and consequently prog.

Hammond, simply for his sense of creativity that influenced the proggier Tull stuff!
