Given the choices offered, I had to choose 'Living In The Past.' The flute melody is excellent and I love the 5/4 time signature with the claves on percussion. As a drummer, I like that. To my knowledge, it's the only song they did in an odd meter. Correct me if I'm wrong. I might be. At any rate, it's a wonderful song! Always loved it.

I chose aPP though I have a hard time with it being "a song". For songs in the strictest sense of the word I would have to say My Sunday Feeling. Oddly enough, that song did little for me until I watched the Isle of Wight disk and was just floored by the energy that opened with.

Up the 'Pool. It somehow lodged itself in a special part of my brain. Whenever I hear it I'm 15 again.

It should be stated that a piece of music that takes up an entire album is NOT a song. Therefore, I think Passion Play should also be exempt from the poll. It's an epic, I really like it, but it's more a group of songs. Just my opinion, folks.

I love that one too. So underappreciated. Woody. Evan's piano is so lovely.

Benefit is by far my favorite Tull lp.....so I'll have to choose other and pick 'Nothing To Say' from that one.
IMHo some of Ian's  best lyrics.
 
"Climb a tower of freedom,
paint your own deceiving sign.
It's not my power
to criticize or to ask you to be blind
To your own pressing problem
and the hate you must unwind.
So ask of me no answer
there is none that I could give
you wouldn't find.
I went your way ten years ago
and I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say."

I can't seem to get Fylingdale Flyer out of my head these days, so that's the one for me.

So many great songs but in the end I had to go with We Used To Know. The whole Stand Up is so underrated!

For very personal reasons, my favorite song of all time. And yes, Stand Up is highly underrated.

A passion play edit 3(the memory bank edit. I think that is edit 3)

and more

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.
