It's between Songs from the wood and Clasp...can't decide.

^ Funny one should mention the track Clasp - Broadsword is such an under-rated album from Tull. As is 'A'......

I don't share the love that you do for "Broadsword" (in my opinion it's over produced, too commercial for my liking and very few memorable songs) but "A" is an album that appears to be gathering more followers as the years go on. "A" IMHO is a landmark album in the Tull canon.

It was the first Tull album I heard, when I was about 15. There are albums of theirs I much prefer but Clasp is a great song! As is Pussy willow.

"With You There To Help Me". Has everything about Tull I love in one song.

Here's something strange : I could never really get into Stand Up, but I love the debut...
The album Benefit does next to nothing for me, but afterwards material is awesome, bar Warchild and Too Old To R&R......
........and I love 'A', and Broadsword...........

So many great ones off of the album, "Songs from the Wood."  But, my all-time favorite of any Tull tune (happens to be from "Songs from the Wood") is:  Pibroch:  Cap in Hand.  Love the metal-guitar opening and closing and all the nuanced changes in-between.  A very under-rated great one from Ian Anderson...

That's interesting since for me Benefit is one of the best in their entire catalogue and Stand Up is also one of my favorites.

Warchild has some nice tracks but Too Old is not a very good one imo.
I have always thought the later ones like A and Broadsword to be hit or miss.

Jack-a-Lynn from the Best of Acoustic Tull. Best Tull song never released on a proper Tull album.

Benefit was indeed special - the band's first great album. Warchild was a fitting follow-up to A Passion Play, and Too Old' was awful (did like the title track though). As for Broadsword, well... (did like the title track!).

I don't often listen but:

My God
Cross Eyed Mary
Locamotive Breath
Hymn 43
Aqualung is that the whole album?
 the usual suspects I guess..

Baker Street Muse, easy easy easy. If no epics then its One White Duck. Minstrel is my favorite Tull album.
