Barre ain't earth shattering, but that's not what I meant. I meant that Barre often gets overlooked relative to an overhyped Page (Zappa was right to critique him imo) 

There sure would be no Zeppelin without Jones or Bonham Confused

Best collection.
Great remixes. Tonnes of excellent bonus tracks


This guy knows the mighty Tull!

Those Albums are played in sequence every now and then


I’ve ordered the Broadsword set. There’s 4 studio albums on it lol. Hopefully it sounds good

Tull lost their magic for me after Stormwatch, and Broadsword fall into that category for me unfortunately. 

4 discs of material from those sessions is insane! Better all be top notch! Thumbs Up

Fun story: Someone in Zappa's 88 band brought him the chords to STH to play live and his response was "that's it?" lol LOL

I'll be honest, that's where my cut-off point is too. I spent a few weeks over the summer re-analysing their post-Stormwatch material and while Broadsword is fun, there's nothing post '79 which makes me want to own it.

That was actually a quite interesting personal discovery.

But I wouldn't feel good if I didn't add, I surely love Aqualung. Tongue

I really like Roots to Branches. 
Also Crest of a Knave is worth checking out IMO. Smile

checked it out back in 1987, a couple of weeks after it was released... sounds like Dire Straits...

I wonder if Dire Straits were familiar and influenced by Ian Anderson & Jethro Tull. ConfusedLOL

I can understand that completely, Jared. 

If I were to buy Tull Vinyl, I would go all studio (This Was - Stormwatch) not missing a beat in between.

I put that one on whenever I need a good sleep!

Knave is too sparse to work as an album for me, but a few songs I enjoy.

^Agreed. Warchild and Too Old to Rock ’n’ Roll: Too Young to Die aren't exactly essential listening. Neither is Stormwatch imo. This Was is kind of patchy as well, although I like it.

I freakin love Warchild - it doesn't take itself too seriously. 

Too Old is not essential, but tbh, brings me more enjoyment than anything from the 80s.

Stormwatch is a mood kind of record - once you're in, it really clicks! Can't decide if SOTM or Dun Ringill is the stinker Tongue

This Was is almost a different band - IT Was indeed )
I'm not too keen on Squirrel and It's Breaking Me Up though. Rest is flawless
