Here's some other excellent Tull releases in the order of my preference:
Of course, get Thick As A Brick first. Also, the version of "A" with the slipstream concert is also excellent. What a band, including Eddie Jobson on keyboards, violen, and I believe Mandolin. |

hahahha sorry about the arm... but I've found God does work in mysterious ways (not to mention having GREAT taste in music). It may be a sign that your destiny lies down the route of crotch grabbing madman flautists, wild hair, and 2nd hand overcoats. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I remember my first Tull experiance, never looked back. My advise, start with the early work, This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, this will set your foundation for the full Jethro Tull Experiance. Critical warning IMHO, stay away from A Passion Play- It IS the plague. ------------- Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan ringed by ants and musing over man. |

I've got A Passion Play, Thick As A Brick and erm, another album yet to play yet, I'm deliberately holding back the experience. I have had Aqualung for ages, infact, I must play again. I'm seeing JT on Thursday in Bristol, so maybe I shouldn't play anything by them at all.

| Good for you man, Tull's awesome. If I had one wish, it would be to have to relearn to like Thick as a Brick from the beginning, because before I heard that, I didn't know music that awesome existed. |

Well I hope the band will be signing stuff this Thursday, so it's an opportunity to buy originals of Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play. I shall be taking my re-mastered Aqualung with me though.

I your present situation, I can't refrain from recommending listening to the JT album "War Child", especially to the number "skating away on the thin ice of a new day". (I'm going to sky in the French Alps early April. We'll see what happens... )------------- Pierre R, the man who lost his signature |

Jethro Tull is the main reason I started listenig to prog music when I was 13-14. Heard ELP an KC at the same time but Tull's Stand Up and Aqualung just "sucked me in to" this type of music. Really an amasing band and a MUST for every (prog)rock fan. Listening to Aqualung right now |

For starters check out Living in the past Roots to branches. Heavy Horses Stormwatch Skip Passion Play Too old to rock n roll Minstrel in the Gallery Under Wraps Trust a Jethro connoisseur After you get those under your belt go for the rest. I'd leave the 4 Skips for the last die-hard days. ------------- My Doc Told Me I Have Doggie Head. |

Also the Jethro Tull DVD Living With The Past. is amazing. The latest band plays music from Jethro's whole career. Great sound and production too. ------------- My Doc Told Me I Have Doggie Head. |

I'd say that Minstrel is one of their best - from that era I'd be more inclined to skip War Child, which is extremely patchy. One of the great things about Tull is the way that every album has its supporters - I'm almost convinced to give A Passion Play one more try, although it's never really grabbed me before. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

A Passion Play is in my opinion one of their best works, it grabbed me after about 4 listenes and after that...genious |

There are good songs on all JT albums even the patchy ones although they may not be the best place to start if you're just discovering JT My 2 least favorite Tull albums: Too old to rock n Roll and Passion Play. ------------- My Doc Told Me I Have Doggie Head. |
