In order
79, 71, 72, 78, 74, 73, 77, 70, 76, 69, 75, 68
Thick is the best album but it doesn’t have the most great music. Get the remixes to find out
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 love Minstrel in the Gallery. Ian's acoustic guitar work here is excellent!

I agree, Tull is so much more than Thick as a Brick

Make it four. Aqualung is Tull's greatest album, bar none.

Not the best album but 1971 may be Tulls best year. Close to 20 songs. Many strong ones. But I give 1979 the edge with over 20 songs and plenty of goodies

I agree also, that Tull has really golden period in 1968-79, that any other progband haven´t got (I think most of them become a least little bit bland after -74). But Thick is their masterpiece as this poll also shows. And not true at all b-side just repeats a-side themes, there are many new, great ones (clear white circles, legends, believe in the day & tales of your life). Those who say so I recommend to listen it (maybe last listening is over 20years). Of course I also want people to listen all those other great albums too!

Really would like to see at least one vote to War Child, because even This Was has one. War Child seems to be the most underrated Tull-album. Maybe it´s not very prog, but I really love it!

Listening to it right now and I agree it's a great work

Tull didn’t drop off at all in 74. They just tried some pop songs after the critics knocked APP. They really should have released 3 albums. Plenty of prog in there

TAAB, Stand Up and Aqualiung are their best 3, but I chose Stand Up, because it's the one I discovered rocjk (and prog) with.

WC is hardly their worse (Too Old... is from those years), but it's down there AFAIAC, with APP and SW.

As for This Was, it's actually an excellent album (in the top 5, IMHO), though out of character from Tull.

Top 68-79 Tull - Stand Up, Aqualung, Thick, Passion Play, SFTW, Horses

The others are very good (yep, warchild) with only one rather weak, Too Old.
