I have been a Tull Skull (a new term I just learned thanks to Progosopher) all of my life and they are definitely one of my favorite bands of all time, although I became somewhat disinterested in their eighties stuff. My favorite albums in order (more or less): TAAB-obviously A Passion Play Minstrel in the Gallery Heavy Horses Songs From the Wood Aqualung Stand Up Benefit Warchild Crest of a Knave Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll; Too Young to Die Broadsword and the Beast

1 Aqualung
2 Songs From the Wood
3 Thick as a Brick
4 Heavy Horses
5 Minstrel in the Gallery
Crest of a Knave is awful, I don't like War Child, Broadsword, A Passion Play or Too Old to Rock and Roll very much, and the early bluesy stuff before Aqualung is good but not really what I listen to.

In my estimation, the top 10 Tull albums are:

Nearly all of them, but standing up above the rest:
Stand Up
Living In the Past
Thick As Brick
A
I haven't yet heard the Jethro Tull Christmas album, or Stormwatch, Under Wraps, and anything after Crest of a Knave except the very good J-Tull Dot Com.

Big fan as well here!
I think my top 3 of their studio albums are:
A Passion Play
Stand Up
Thick as a Brick
Wouldn´t know which one I´d pick over the other though, as it´s all down to my temperament of the specific day. Right now I´m in a Stand Up mood. As a drummer, I´ll say that Clive Bunker always will be my favourite basher of theirs.

with Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses right behind.

For me, the essentials are:
TAAB
Songs from the Wood
Passon Play
Aqualung
Minstrel in the Gallery
I like some of the others, but I've managed to get by without them.

Stand Up
Benefit
Aqualung
Thick
Minstrel
Too old
Songs
Horses
Bursting
Glad to see some folks giving Too Old some props, often overlooked
And, Under Wraps deserves a ton more credit than it gets (which is often none). Plenty of clunkers on there, but some great songs as well. And for all of Anderson's faults, JT did at times actually progress and try new things.

I agree. Under Wraps is quite good, but very far from the traditional Tull sound, which I think is the reason why not very many people like it. However, on it has it's own merits, and as you said, there are great songs in that album.
