I reckon there are about 100 tull songs I rate as very very good. Including some tracks from TAAB and APP
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.

i think that track is brutal...overproduced strings etc.  

but, that album has some great moments...and, Salamander is certainly one of my favorite Tull tracks

You've cut me to the quick! I'll now have to go on back and give that track another listen.

Yeah, top 5 for me too. Great song.

Baker Street Muse - The best song from the best album! This was the pinnacle of JT´s mega-creative 70´s period. A song that captures more emotions then TAAB and APP together. And unlike many other epics the lyrics has something to say!
Songs From The Wood - Listening to this song - with it´s intricate melody and tight playing - makes me want to shout out to the world: People - take a break for some minutes from your autotune-muzak brainwash and listen to REAL Music just for a while!!!

Iommi actually played live with them at the 'Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus' event right after Mick Abrahams quit...but they, Anderson,  didn't think he was a 'right fit' for the band.

Probally Locomotive Breath,followed closely by Too Old To Rock N Roll Too Young To Die-the above mentioned Quizz Kid is a personal fave as well.

Too many songs to choose from. Tull are the best band of the 70s no doubt about it. Can't wait for the Warchild remix. 3 albums worth of studio tracks. I reckon this will be just as good as the Aqualung box
