I'm surprised The Whistler didn't start this thread.

I love A Passion Play. It's one of my personal favorite prog albums from the 70's. I love it for the same things as many people hate it. (My very first signature was a rabbit like the story)
My very first Tull album was Roots to Branches and I love it as well. It isn't a masterpiece, but still a very strong effort.

JT - one of my favourite bands ever. They were also my ticket to the wonderful world of prog rock. Almost everything they recorded in the seventies is A+ material.

The Whistler is going to be here any second now...
TAAB is defiantly an awesome album and each phrase of music is superb. Aqualung is also a superb work, as are Songs from the Wood and Minstrel in the Gallery. All Classics!

I love ever note of TAAB, It never gets boring for me.

My personal JT favorite is Heavy Horses with Aqualung as a close second. Taab sometimes is a bit boring.
A great band who made loads of good music.

For me, their twin peaks are 'Thick As A Brick' and 'Songs From The Wood'. Two of my very fave prog albums. I also love their first four albums ('Stand Up' and 'Aqualung' especially), 'Minstrel In The Gallery' and 'Heavy Horses' are very good, 'Broadsword' and 'Crest Of A Knave' are two of the better 80s albums by a prog band. Everything else...well I wouldn't rush to hear them, let's put it that way.

a lot of bands have their leader do a solo album, but it's turns out as a not solo album (like Tony Iommi's Seventh Star or Ian Anderson's A)

Their best albums were recorded in the seventies. You can't be wrong with these albums. You can forget the others, with the exception of 'A' which had to be initially a Ian Anderson album, but finally was recorded as a Tull album : it has no more Barrie on drums but deserves your attention for the presence of Eddie Jobson on electronics/electric violin. It's the last Tull album in the vein of their folk/symphonic prog trademark developped in the seventies.

Okay...they deserve this, they really do! My mom really introduced me to them and gave me Aqualung as a present, I only ever heard Ronnie James Dio sing the song Aqualung (from his days in The Elves). I also knew of A Song for Jeffrey, as of the video with Tony Iommi on it... But I've come to love Jethro Tull and decided to make an appreciation thread for them (as I did with Renaissance)...
