My list (very subject to change): 1. Thick As A Brick 2. Minstrel In The Gallery 3. Hunting Girl 4. Aqualung 5. With You There To Help Me 6. A Passion Play 7. Sweet Dream 8. Locomotive Breath 9. To Cry You A Song 10. Baker Street Muse Honourable mentions: Fat Man, Living In The Past, Velvet Green, Witches Promise etc. |

| I'd put Baker Street up higher, replace Aqualung with My God, then delete Hunting Girl and add Dark Ages. |

I love the song "kelpie". I know it's only available as a bonus track on the JT 20 years compilation and on the remastered version of 'Stormwatch', but it really qualifies as one ofthe most underrated JT songs. It features some subime combination of flute and mandolin in the chorus. But JT released so many goo songs (well, so many good ALBUMS) that it's too difficult a task to chose only 10 out of the their huge discography. I would say that all their albums relaesed in the seventies are excellent (yes, even 'too old to r'n'r too young to die') and I also love 'A' which features probably their best instrumental track to date. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

Just got the DVD of Tull at Madison Square Garden and had to search the stub...yep, I was there. My God, they were awesome that night. I saw Tull in the 70's for 4 different tours. That show that they broadcast to 17 different countries was a little strange if I remember. I think Livingston Taylor opened for Tull and My God, embarrassingly my own hometown Tull fans were just brutal towards Livingston. I genuinely felt bad for him. Anyway, if you buy that DVD it comes with the CD versio of the Garden show. That band was exceptionally tight and they had a fill in bass player for the ailing John Glascock. When Glascock was really smokin' and in good health like the Songs From The Wood Tour - Look out...there may not have been a tighter, cleaner, band playing and that included YES.
My Top 10:
Thick As A Brick
Song From The Wood
Minstrel In The Gallery
Aqualung
To Cry You A Song
Baker Street Muse
My God
One Brown Mouse

That's one of my favourites too, though I believe it's very much overlooked. The lyrics never fail to bring tears to my eyes, especially as I can somewhat relate to them. As to my own Top 10, I'll have to think a bit about since there are so many songs by JT I love. Anyway, one thing I can say for sure: my personal # 1 is "My God", a perfect combination of thought-provoking lyrics and stunning music. |
