A truly exceptional documentary of one of Rock Music’s best bands! Accurate, insightful & certainly helpful to past, present & future Tull fans. The media critics never really “got” the intellectual brilliance & musical talent Tull brought to the world.

Agree. Often not critics' darlings. Thank you so much for your time and kind comment.

Good vid. Thick as a Brick and Songs from the Wood are my top two, absolute classic desert island discs. After that, Heavy Horses, Minstrel and Aqualung round out my top five, albums I absolutely have to own. After that I like various stuff here and there but no albums I can't live without. The run of albums after Heavy Horses especially, I've heard those albums a half-dozen times and I'm hard-pressed to recall how any of the songs go, they just seem so uninspired compared to my top five.

Thanks a lot. Our top 5 seem to be the same. The early 80s albums are worthwhile imo. Not a dan of their later 80s output.

I enjoyed your video on Tull, my top 5, 1 Minstrel 2 Thick 3 Heavy H. 4. Passion P. 5. Aqualung, nearly the same as yours. I was surprised you never mentioned We used to know of Stand Up,nit picking there .keep up the good work.

Somehow my other comment is gone - but maybe I just forgot to push the blue button. So anyway: well-thought and certainly a defensible ranking. I have a giant soft-spot for A, Under Wraps and DotCom, but I am certainly glad to see that you don't throw feces at them (as most of the Tull-fans do in their videos). I still haven't listened to the The Zealot Gene, but I can kinda imagine that soundwise it is a kind of "Homo Erraticus Part 2".

Thank you very much for taking the time with this unnecessarily long video 😄 The albums you mentioned are, indeed, lower in my list, but both A and Under Wraps have some great moments and are in no way as terrible as other fans often depict them, imo. I doubt I'll ever become a Dot Com-fan, though 😉 BTW I still can see your older comment 👍

I'm not familiar with all their albums (and I don't think I would want to get familiar with the more modern ones) but of the ones I know I love "Songs From The Wood"; masterpiece, a bit like a much more competent version of the Incredible String Band (which is a group I love)... the minstrel album I just ordered on Discogs, it sounds like an album I would like...

@murdockreviews Ай бұрын

Cool 😀 I hope you'll like it. Later Tull certainly is for hardcore fans only, imo.

I like your style. I like your positioning of Heavy Horses above Songs From The Wood, of course, thick as a brick has some of the most beautiful music of all time in any genre. Sorry you made this before Rokflote, which I think is one of the most cohesive works of the whole Tull discography. I’ve heard quite a few people say that it takes three or four lessons to get into it, including me, but now I can’t stop listening to it quite a different soundscape, and at the same time it can be considered more “Tullish” than any Tull album. with its heavy reliance on ancient musical forms. Thanks!

@murdockreviews Жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot, indeed. Rokflote ranks at #19 or #18 for me at the moment. Objectively, 'Songs from the Wood' is probably the musicallymore complex and aventurous/proggy album, but something about Heavy Horses always gave it a special place in my heart.

Cool list. Nice inclusion of the compilations there. Thanks for sharing. If i had included it, 'Living in the Past' might have made my top 5, too.

@RickNBacker Ай бұрын

I guess Thick as a Brick 2 is considered an Ian Anderson album?

@murdockreviews Ай бұрын

Yes, since it also wasn't released as Jethro Tull.

@AlesPickar Жыл бұрын

OK, I begin to watch this video - right now. Will this be heaven, or will this be hell? :-D With us Tull-fans - you never know.

Crazy languages make the world go round 😄 But I've switched to English since that Tull video (with a few exceptions that deal specifically with German language topics/artists). Thanks for stopping by.

@MrDino1953 11 ай бұрын

It’s easy. First 4 albums were great. Anything after Aqualung, not so great.

@murdockreviews 11 ай бұрын

Great albums, indeed. It's always interesting to see from what different directions Tull fans come. There are those that prefer the first albums up until Aqualung, then those for whom Tull only really got started with Aqualung and the prog years, and those who prefer their folk-influenced material from the late 70s. Thanks for watching 🙂

@SwisstedChef2018 5 ай бұрын

You just called them one of the un-coolest bands in history? I hope I missunderstood. Ich finde Dein Video langweilig,

@murdockreviews 5 ай бұрын

It's not for everyone 🤷‍♂️ Sorry if it hurt your feelings. I was referring to Tull's general image and that was never a "cool one", especially compared to other big rock bands from the 70s. Whimsical, theatrical, eccentric, men in tights - but not cool. But i like uncool.
