Difficult to decide between TAAB and A Passion Play of course. Maybe the second one for me

Aqualung! I don't see how TAAB is that much higher than it on the website; they're definitely in the same league but just trying to accomplish different things and I think that Aqualung fulfills its purpose better than Thick As A Brick (even though I very much like it)

The quad versions are an improvement. Hymn 43 has only just started to interest me due to hearing the quad version too. Vocally it's far superior. Here's my take: TAAB side 1 - 5 stars TAAB side 2 - 4.5 stars Aqualung side 1 - 4.5 stars Aqualung side 2 - 3 stars Aqualung side 2 quad - 4 stars Aqualung 40 years cd disc 2 - 4 stars

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.

Surprised Living in the Past is omitted. I know it's sort of a compilation, but very few repeats from other albums, mostly singles and b-sides and then there's the live side. My favorites change often, but I tend to keep going back to Minstrel and Living in the Past.

I love it in this format. It shows everything the band recorded in the studio in 1968, 69, 70 and 71 and shows what the band were capable of over 15-20 songs and not just 40 minutes of album time from each year. I'd only recommend remasters such as: This was remaster Stand up deluxe 3 cd(has Carnegie hall live) Benefit remaster Aqualung 40 year box(2cd next best option but without quads though)

I'm surprised HH has more votes than SFTW. I love the last three albums Tull released in 70s, though.

Well...TAAB and Aqualung are way out in the front.
I always liked the first part of side 1 on TAAB but imho when Tull does long songs they lose something for me.
I rarely play TAAB or Passion Play anymore. I prefer the lp's that have a shorter batch of songs.

I really hope there is a warchild and broadsword remix(especially drums) at some point. Warchild could have the 17 tracks from the remaster plus March the mad scientist plus possible other unreleased tracks such as Beaches parts 1 and 2. That would make a double album. The quad album should be included too. Bungle sounds better as a quad. Broadsword would have about 30 tracks taken from remaster and nightcap. Jackalynn home version and motoreyes should be included plus possible unreleased tracks dj and dinosaur. An much improved and consistent drum track over the 30 songs would finally make songs such as beastie and jackalynn listenable for the first time IMO

Need to see Living In The Past there. It may be a kind of compilation but ... it should be there. It may be the first album ever composed of bonus material.

I agree...it's a good collection of songs with some nice live things as well.
Dharma for one is killer.

I think it would make sense to include it as there are many songs on there not available on previous albums. I still wouldn't have changed my vote from A Passion Play though
