Passion Play gets my vote for #1. That's the one I can listen to forever and never get tired of it.

Call me crazy but " Minstrel In The Gallery " is my favorite Jethro Tull album. Very prog heavy and dark.Cheers!

I agree...Stormwatch is a great album that doesnt get the appreciation it deserves. I play it for people and they love it. Should be known more.

"Benefit" people,the best Tull album ever!Period!

‘Songs From The Wood’, tops my list. Very prog and melodic.

Tull are such a diverse band it is tricky trying to rank the albums

Great that Pete explains the Superbowl to those of us who are not American and wouldn't necessarily know what the hell it exactly is. Great channel Pete and peace from Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland.

My top 5: 1. Thick as a Brick Such an amazing album, and my 2nd favourite album of all time. Everything flows together so well and it’s just an absolute masterpiece. 2. Songs From The Wood I absolutely love this album, and the genre is something I’ve never seen done anywhere else. This album cemented Jethro Tull as a band that is truly one of a kind. 3. Aqualung An absolute classic. Almost every song in this is a masterpiece and an absolute bop. The guitar work in this is amazing and Jethro Tull dominated the hard rock genre. 4. A Passion Play This felt like a jazzier twist on TAAB, and I absolutely loved it. It’ll obviously never compete with the masterpiece that is Thick as a Brick, but I still love it as both a piece of music, and as a concept. 5. Stand Up Jethro Tull can truly dominate any genre, and they totally dominated the blues genre. So many songs in this albums are absolute classics.

You nailed it today!!! Benefit is one of the great albums of all time. That was the best cup of coffee I have ever had. The wonderful Martin Barre. Great job.

One of the best bands in the history of the world and so fun to see Tull live. Pure energy!

I torture my family with Jethro Tull Christmas every year lol, love that album!

Tull's "Benefit" album has a special place in my heart.

Love the accolades he gave to Stormwatch. One of my favorites.

So many styles explored by Ian and the boys over time. 1. Passion Play 2. Stand Up 3. Benefit 4. Songs From the Wood 5. Minstrel in the Gallery 6. Heavy Horses 7. Thick as a Brick 8. Aqualung 9. Living in the Past 10. Crest of a Knave

1 - Stand Up 2- Thick As a Brick 3- Aqualung 4 - Minstrel In The Gallery

Hard to rank these records, but I agree when it comes to "Benefit". Great album with no weak spots in my opinion. My own top 5 would probably look like this : 1. Benefit 2. Aqualung 3. Thick as a brick 4. Minstrel 5. Stand up Well, at least these are the albums i keep going back to when i get an urge for Tull :)

Saw this video when you released it a few years ago and I come back to it from time to time. I love Tull and I really appreciate this list. Actually fun to agree and disagree with the rankings to make me think where I might rank them and also it gets me to go "Hey, I missed that deep cut (Occasional Demons)" or "I forgot all about that song, I have to go back to it (Dark Ages)". Thanks man!

Songs From The Wood has been my absolute favorite album of all time, since I first heard it in '77. Phenomenal songwriting, instrumentation, and some wicked vocal harmony. I'm norrnally a minor key guy, but this album stays in the major key from start to finish, and does it masterfully. I listen to this on special occasions only.

Pete you are amazing. Thanks for taking the time to dedicate an episode to one of the world's best and most under appreciated bands. They are unique in sound, look and stage performance (totally outrageous). Great job ranking the music. Thanks again.

Yess! Thanks for doing my request Pete!! My favourite band ❤️ I've always loved the folk trilogy and War Child the most!

Benefit is a hidden gem of Folk Rock and To cry You A Song has one of the catchiest riffs ever.

Jethro Tull is a band I largely ignored during their prime. As I've aged, I've come to really enjoy and appreciate their catalog. Aging isn't all bad.

BRAVO, sir! What a marvelous dissertation on the music of Jethro Tull. Whether you and I agree on our rankings is irrelevant; it is obvious you have great respect, admiration, passion, and love for the music. And - for me - you have put into words the emotions I have carried through my life for this music. For that alone I am deeply grateful.

I could not agree with you more! This is amazing! Loved your picks! Great job, great band. Really enjoyed this!

Hunting Girl - One of the coolest/tastiest intros to a song... Ever?

First album that got my interest was Bursting Out. Seeing them live in '78 made me a fan ! It was the second concert I ever went to, & still remains in my top 10 shows I've ever been to. Just got introduced to this channel. Very good !!!

I bet most of us came to know and love Tull just as the 70s started. We gave them our hearts as young people so the albums from those early years are what helped shape our musical appreciation. Thank goodness for Ian and all the JT members over 55 years.

Well done sir! Just found your channel and enjoyed this a lot. Been rediscovering Tull ever since TAAB2, as I had become disenchanted with them (and busy with life) after Walk Into Light and Under Wraps (excepting, of course, their return to “commercial greatness” with Crest of a Knave). Saw TAAB 1 & 2, two nights apart (Vienna, VA, then Philly) and have ever since and again been proud of my love of Anderson/Tull music and admiration for Ian himself. What a great musical journey we’ve been taken on, courtesy of IA.

I love Tull. A Passion Play has always been my favorite.

Growing up the the late 70s, I never really "got" Tull. It wasn't until I hit 50 years old that it dawned on me. Incredible music and they have at least 7 albums that are fantastic. Everything they produced from '69 to '79 in particular. Hard to pick a favorite.

Only recently discovered your vids and channel Pete, but what can i say other than brilliant, love them. Keep up the good work.

Great reviews! JT have been my favorite group my entire life, and I appreciate your balanced and reasonable approach. Quite often critics tear the albums they dislike to shreds while praising their favorites, but you offer a fair and balanced viewpoint throughout. I love Stormwatch, Roots to Branches, Songs From the Wood...etc. so it was great to hear your opinion on those. Fantastic job!

Songs from the Wood is a masterpiece! It’s such an uplifting album and Barriemore Barlow kills it on this Tull classic. Aqualung and Minstrel in the Gallery are a close second favorite for me. Again the drumming is incredible! Clive and Barriemore are legends!!

With no apology, A Passion Play is my fav Tull album. Saw the tour when it rolled through LA; show was so spectacular I went back the next night!

Found your channel just recently and a big thumbs up from across the [pond in the U.K! I would have to say that for me personally Benefit is one of my favourites as it has a certain vibe to it that gives it real charm. Always an album I like to go back to every so often and enjoy listening to. As they say class always lasts!

You have no idea what you did to me. I am now devouring all my Tull albums and I’m in Tull musical heaven! Great ranking as always. And about shout outs, Rainbow Blues from MU1 was one of my favorite one offs!

Songs From the Wood is in my all time Top 5

Bonus points for the great mention of Dark Ages. One of my favourite Tull tracks from a personal favourite record. A criminally overlooked song. Nice video, enjoyed your views on this

Excellent listing, one of the best I have seen on these channels.

Only ever heard Living in the Past Pete, but never listened to anything else. Now I've seen this I will have to check them out. Most definitely thanks Pete for the heads up much appreciated. Great Show, Great Channel 🎶🎶🎶👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻.

Nightcap is amazing, Anderson's flute paying on this album to me, is his best ever! I love all of your hard work, and commitment, you put into your channel Pete. Thanks!

Maybe not everyone's favorite, but I loved Broadsword & The Beast. Especially "Flying Colors"

And a major THANK YOU for the heads up about Ian Anderson's Thick As A Brick 2. I did not know that it even existed and after watching your show, I immediately found it. On my third listen of the night already!! Thanks again Pete!!

Congrats on 20k subs Pete. Can see you hitting 50 by the summer at this rate 👏

Benefit has always been at the top for me, too.... vastly underrated album.

YES!!! Was waiting in suspense by #5 to see if Benefit was going to be your #1 pic.. Benefit I absolutely love it always been my #1 favorite Tull album What a massive discography this band has

Tull is easily one of the best bands of all time, and Anderson is something of a genius, musically. He taught himself to play the flute and just one year later Tull release their first album! His guitar work isn't too shabby also, and plays some fairly complex acoustic work whilst singing. I've been playing the superb live album 'Bursting Out' a great deal of late - what a band and John Glascock's bass playing is top-notch! My favourite studio album is 'Songs From The Wood,' but there are so many great ones to choose from. I agree with Pete on 'Under Wraps, it's an execrable album! It's a shame Ian had such voice problems, he really struggles with the singing these days. It always amazes me how many superb bands have come out of such a small country like the UK; of course America has produced some equally stunning bands etc, but there's just something a bit special with Britain: Tull, Purple, Sabbath, Zeppelin, The Who, Uriah Heep, Lizzy, Queen, Floyd, The Stones, The Beatles, Maiden, Priest, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Cream, Rainbow, Bad Company, T.Rex, Whitesnake, UFO, Blind Faith, Mott The Hoople, ELP, Yes, Ten Years After, Small Faces, Quo, Wishbone Ash, and loads I've probably left off, incredible!

For me (1) Songs From the Wood, (2) Broadsword and the Beast, (3) Stormwatch and (4) 'A' . These are all great albums IMO

Don’t have any Tull depth of knowledge outside of the usual players, this is a good jump off point for me to do some exploring

Fall of 73 I was a sophomore, and in our school library/media center were private rooms with glass doors, the rooms used for listening to record albums with library provided record players and albums. One day I walked past a room with two guys in my class I didn't really know, listening to a Mozart classical album propped up against the wall. For whatever reason I stopped and took in the scene, thinking one day I would do what they were doing. Surprisingly, they smiled and waved me inside. "Hey, you like classical music, right?" one of them asked. "Yeah, it's fine, I suppose, depending on what it is," I probably said. The truth is that at that point in my life, classical would have been the LAST music I wanted to hear. The great sounds of all that incredible 60's and early 70's classic rock was my passion. It was everywhere, on radio, TV, juke boxes, car 8-track players. FM rock out of Cleveland was especially dynamic, and with me still a few months away from buying my first decent turntable and the beginnings of my record collecting, radio was all I listened to. My favorite bands at the time were Deep Purple and Grand Funk. "You gotta hear this incredible Mozart composition," one of them said. They handed me the headphones plugged into the record player, and dropped the tonearm at the start of the album. Instead of Mozart, I heard the opening riff to Aqualung! I hadn't heard it before, and my eyes went wide. They laughed, then opened up the Mozart album sleeve to reveal the Tull album hidden inside. They obviously planned that ruse, signing out a record player and an "approved" album as a cover to listen to their rock and prog albums. The three of us became fast friends from that day forward, our friendship based around music.

You are brilliant Pete. Love your insights and passion for music

Awesome discography and great video thank you.

"I have no time for Time Magazine...or Rolling Stone...."

Recently listened to the entirety of Thick As A Birck. Absolutely amazing album and it was a blast from start to finish. As for my favourite Jethro Tull album, mine is probably Songs From The Woods purely because it's a very nostalgic album for me as, it was not only the first Jethro Tull album I listened to, but it was my introduction to the progressive rock genre, so for that it has a very special place in my heart.

One of your best videos, Pete! Tull has long been my favorite band and I have every album of theirs (plus all of Ian's and Martin's solo work) so I consider myself a bit of a Tull expert. I can't argue with your thoughtful list as it's very sound. For me, the "folk" trilogy of SFTW, HH, and SW make my top 3. I agree with you on SW--that album is an absolute underrated gem in the discography. I always saw SFTW as the autumn album, SW as the winter album, and HH as the spring album. All 3 albums are must-haves. At #4 is TAAB. #5 is Minstrel. #6 is Stand Up. #7 is Aqualung. #8 is A Passion Play. #9 is Benefit. And #10 is Broadsword and the Beast (narrowly edging out Crest). Also great to see love for Nightcap and the Christmas Album...fantastic albums! Under Wraps has some great melodies on it but they're overshadowed by the dated 80's production. If that record were re-released without the drum machine and synths, many of us Tull fans would discover it's actually pretty good. You are also correct that Roots to Branches is a very fine late career gem. Finally, although the album is not one of their best, the SONG "Rock Island" is terrific. Long live the Tull!

Thank you! Very informative, as usual.

Have loved Tull for years. My top cd for many of those was Broadsword & The Beast ... mainly because that was the one that introduced me to the band. That said, my top 10 now are: 1. Songs From The Wood 2. Broadsword 3. Stormwatch 4. Heavy Horses 5. Passion Play 6. Thick As A Brick 7. Catfish Rising 8. Under Wraps 9. Benefit 10. Walk Into Light ... I know, it's an Ian solo record but I really love it.

Stand Up stands alone!

Thank you for doing this!!!!…. Been a Tull fan a looooong time good to know there's more still out there! Never missed a tour since 77....Songs from the wood at MSG was amazing!! Respect your list choices so easy to flip/flop many of these so great job....Stand Up, Songs From the Wood, Aqualung, PP, TAAB my top 5....Yeah Under Wraps is at the bottom for me too....I'd have Crest a little higher too...

Really enjoyed this video! Tull are a band I’ve loved since I first listened to my older brother’s copy of Stand Up. Tull’s strength was that they were always seeking a new style or approach for each album. As disappointing as Under Wraps was, at least they tried something different. It’s almost impossible to rank over 20 albums, so I often do a ‘favourite from each decade top five’: 60’s - Stand Up 70’s - Heavy Horses 80’s - Crest of a Knave 90’s - Roots to Branches 00’s - Christmas Album

Best band ever !! 1 Benefit 2 Warchild 3 Too Old To Rock n' Roll: Too Young to Die !

My top Tull list changes with my mood but Benefit, Aqualung, Thick, Stand Up, and Minstrel always are in the mix along with War Child and Living. What I always found interesting, and probably why I like them so much, are the sometimes weird and unusual time signatures Anderson uses. That and the fact that through all the line-up changes the musicianship has been incredible. My favorite Anderson story is that when his daughter took up the flute he realized he's been playing it 'wrong' all those years. He relearned how to play it 'properly'.

Totally WITH you on Stormwatch -- I love it! What a cool album cover, too. One of my favorites!

I have been a 'Tull fan since the mid seventies. I would generally agree with your choice of favourites. If I had to pick a favourite individual song, it would probably be My God, which I have been lucky enough to have seen them perform live twice. What I really like about your video though, is that you make it plain that these are your personal favourites. I remember being absolutely flamed by Mr Rick Beato, after daring to suggest that he prefixed one of his 'Best Of' videos with IMHO. You have a new subscriber Sir.

Benefit is my favorite as well. Nothing To Say is Tull at their most psychedelic. Passion Play is definitely close to the top for me. The last 10 minutes is incredibly powerful and has brought me to tears.

Doing this list before watching the video. 1) Benefit. My first Tull Album. Not a single weak moment on this album. 2) Broadsword and the Beast. I'm a Scot and this is a Scottish album. Broadsword, The Clasp and Beastie. Watching you, Watching me is so much fun. I saw them in Montpellier, France when they toured this. 3) Every other album they ever made. Ian Anderson is from the same town as me as are Nazareth (I lived opposite Pete Agnew) and the Skids/Big Country. Proud to be Scottish and proud to be european!

Brilliant stuff, a superb look through the tull catalogue 👍

Awesome video, Pete, can't wait to dive in on the others in this series. As for my favorite Tull albums, Aqualung as TAAB will always sit atop, but Minstrel and the trio of Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses and Stormwatch are close by. From the early stuff, Benefit is the best and it rocks! I have to give 'A' a try. I like some early 80's new wave stuff synth-y like Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, etc.

My top three: "Songs from the wood", "Heavy horses" and "Stormwatch" from their 77-79 period. Love these trilogy , also the band lineup. There are so many great Tull albums, no "mistake" is possible. ☺

fantastic ranking - thanks - my top 10: passion play - 9:too old - 8: minstrel - 7: benefit - 6: horses - 5: stand up - 4: songs wood - 3 - broadsword - 2: aqualung - 1: brick

Such a great, and overlooked point, regarding favorite albums often being driven by moments in our lives. For those that don't follow trends, and sincerely listen to the music, I believe this is probably at the top of the list for deciding factors.

I can tell you my number one album would be"Benefit"and "'My God" will always remain my favorite Tull song off of any album.

My first Rock-Concert in my life was during the "Heavy Horses-Tour". I love this album and until this very day I am very, very impressed of Barrymore Barlows Drum Solo! Regard "Bursting out - J.T. live" - "Conundrum"! Milestone!

Sensational Pete. I have never heard heavy horses or storm watch - now I am going out to get them, thanks mate

Pete Thanks for this great ranked list of one of my favorite bands. At first I agreed with you about putting Aqualung in 2nd place. (My favorite has always been Stand Up). HOWEVER, just re-listened to Aqualung and having Locomotive Breath almost at the end, but then closing the album with Wind-Up reminded me what a masterpiece Aqualung is, not only musically, but also the social commentary....wow!

Benefit is my fave too - and I also love Stormwatch which I agree is really underrated

1. A 2. Thick As a Brick 3. Songs from the Wood 4. Under Wraps 5. Heavy Horses 6. War Child 7. Stand Up 8. A Passion Play 9. Benefit 10. Aqualung 11. Stormwatch 12. Broadsword and the Beast No particular order after that.

Pete. How the hell are ya, I love ya baby. Right out of the gate I'm receiving some education lol I had no idea Jethro Tull had an enormous discography or they recorded a Christmas album lol You are so real and honest and you are quite a teacher. Love the channel! Take care man

The first 7 LPs are the cream of the crop for me.. but I’m old and started listening to Tull on this was!! It should be in the top five!! Great job Pete

Just a couple of friendly corrections: It was "A", not Under Wraps which was originally to be an Anderson solo album. TAAB2 is very definitely Anderson solo. Ian ended Tull in 2011 and performed under his own name until very recently. He now appears to be using the Tull name again.

For me, I might sound weird with this ranking, and it's really hard for me to choose between Tull's albums between 1968 and 1977, but for now it's: 20- Under Wraps 19- Rock Island 18- Jethro-Tull Dot Com 17- A 16- Catfish Rising 15- Stormwatch 14- The Broadsword And the Beast 13- Roots To Branches 12- Crest Of Knave 11- Too Old To Rock N' Roll; Too Young To Die 10- A Passion Play 09- This Was 08- Heavy Horses 07- Stand Up 06- Benefit 05- Minstrel In the Gallery 04- War Child 03- Aqualung 02- Songs From the Wood 01- This As A Brick

i remember when their first live album came out...the front cover said 'bursting out' but the spine called it 'busting out'...not sure if that ever got changed, but...talking about the studio albums, love your list...i won't go thru all of them, but my top five would be... 1...minstrel in the gallery 2...stormwatch 3...aqualung 4...a passion play 5....war child very tough cause i love so many of them (too old to rock-n-roll...thick as a brick...benefit...)....still to this day one of my most listened to bands....have sung many of their songs with my previous bands...great video pete....

Good work !!!! Benifit was my favorite too for a long time , but stand up is #1 for me now ...great show !!!! 👍

This is the best video you have ever done Pete. I love videos dedicated to the best band of all time, Jethro tull. Well done. I am here to give you my ranking. It will probably be controversial, but we all have our own choices. Just remember everybody is entitled to their own opinion, commenters of SOT. Here it is: 1. Benefit (This was a toss up between Benefit and aqualung for #1, but I chose benefit because I think there is not a bad song on it) My favorite songs are nothing to say, son, to cry you a song, a time for everything, Inside, and play in time. 2. Aqualung (This might be #1 on other people’s lists, but I find benefit slightly better, this was a hard choice) My favorite songs are the title track. Cross eyed mary, Hymn 43, Up to me, My god, and Locomotive breath. 3. Stand up (Great album, there is a good mix of rock, blues, and folk on here) My favorite songs are A new day yesterday, Back to the family, Nothing is easy, Fat man, We used to know, and for a thousand mothers. 4. Stormwatch (Very underrated album, people need to listen to this if they haven't) My favorite songs are North sea oil, Dark ages, Somethings on the move, old ghosts, and flying dutchman. 5. Crest of a Knave (This album deserved the grammy over metallica, don't @ me) My favorite songs are Steel monkey, Farm on the freeway, Jump start, and Raising steam. 6. Rock island (I think this is a very underrated album, rockin' album) My favorite songs are Ears of tin, the title track, Heavy water, Whalers dues, and Big riff and mando. 7. J tull dot com (Pete ranked this low, but I love this album it's underrated) My favorite songs are Spiral, AWOL, Wicked windows, Hunt by numbers, Black Mamba, and El Nino. 8. Songs from the wood (Great medieval folk rock album) My favorite songs are the title track, Cup of wonder, Hunting girl, and Velvet green. 9. A ( This is an underrated album, very good tunes on here) My favorite songs are Crossfire, Fylingdale flyer, Black Sunday, Working john working joe, and 4.W.D. 10. Minstrel in the Gallery (The title track alone makes it a top ten album) My favorite songs are the title track, Cold wind to valhalla, Black satin dancer, and Baker st muse. 11. Heavy Horses ( At first I didn't really like it, but have grown to like it) My favorite songs are And the mouse police never sleeps, No lullaby, Rover, and the title track. 12. Thick as a brick (I prefer separate songs rather than 1 long song, but I like this album) 13. Broadsword and the beast (Like this album, interesting electronic style on it) My favorite songs are Beastie, Fallen on hard times, Pussy willow, and Seal driver. 14. Warchild (Fun album, I like it) My Favorite songs are the title track, Bungle in the jungle, and Skating away. 15. Too old to rock n roll too young to die (Mostly folky and acoustic stuff, not a big of it, but it has some good rock tunes on it) My favorite songs are Quizz kid, Taxi Grab, Big dipper, and the title track. 16. Under wraps (Some people would have this being the worst, but I don't think it's that bad) My favorite songs are Lap of Luxury, European Legacy, Saboteur, Heat, and Under wraps #1. 17. Catfish Rising (Still bluesy but I find it more catchier than the blues on This was) My favorite songs are this is not love, doctor to my disease, and still loving you tonight. 18. This Was (not a big blues fan, also the production isn't very good) My favorite songs are My sunday feeling and a song for jeffrey. 19. Christmas Album (Good for christmas time, don’t really listen to it any other time accept for christmas) My favorite songs on it are Greensleeves and A christmas song. 20. Roots to Branches (Never really liked the indian flavor on that album) The only song I like on it is the title track. 21. Passion Play (I know this is a well loved tull album but i'm sorry it's too eccentric for me. I have tried to get into it, I just can't)

loved broadsword! this was my first album i ever bought by them, so very nostalgic.

Nicely done Pete! I would have "War Child" higher on my list. "Skating Away On the Thin Ice of a New Day" is in my Top Five favorite Tull songs, and the rest of the album is great as well.

Well you nailed no#1! Just started watching you. Looking forward to seeing how our opinions gel on others bands!

Benefit has always been my favorite.

Funny how everyone develops special bonds with different albums. I got Under Wraps in early 1986 and it was the “current” Jethro Tull album at the time. I felt really proud of its modern sound and listened to it constantly! Still one of my favorites.

Love TOTR’n’R: TYTD, it was my first Tull album, loved it then, love it now! Great vid, thanks for posting. Top albums are (in no order), Minstrel, Heavy Horses, Songs, Benefit . . .

Benefit was the first album that my sister bought. She was 5 years older than me, but didn't mind that I played it as well. It was on an old stereogram. It really shaped what I thought about music. Martins guitar on 'Teacher' was so dynamic, and the band was as one unit. Thanks Gina!

Ah yes... Crest of a Knave. Grammy winner for best "metal" album. My favorite Tull is A Passion Play. Never tire of it. Enjoyed hearing your ranking!

I know it goes without saying - when buying a Tull album, try and find a version with bonus tracks, even if you have to pay a few more pennies for it: Pan Dance Kelpie Broadford Bazaar Jack-A-Lynn Summerday Sands Living in these Hard Times King Henry's Madrigal Lick your Fingers Clean March the Mad Scientist Why the likes of these songs were never included on the original albums, I'll never know.

Great Taste in Music Pete. I admire and respect you. Jethro Tull is in My Top 10 Favorite Rock Acts of All Time !! ( nnio ) : - Jethro Tull - KISS - The Rolling Stones - RUSH - ZZ Top - Van Hagaroth - Lynryd Skynyrd - Billy Joel - JC Mellencamp - The Beatles

You nailed it! Spot on ranking!!

I'd personally consider LITP as a stand alone album and include it amongst the greatest stretch of JT music production in any order from Stand-up thru A Passion Play. Followed closely by their 2nd tier works Minstrel, SFTW, HH & Storm watch. With 2 80's considerations in Broadsword and Crest. Overall, I think your rankings are well thought out. Great job! Maybe you should begin to follow football and you can give an unbiased top 25 ranking every week during the season...I would likely believe your lists over the college football playoff system!😂 Keep up your content, it is enjoyable

Two albums that I continually come back to are Stand Up and Heavy Horses. Also is there a better album cover than Broadsword and the Beast?

I am really enjoying this review. Especially glad to see 'Stormwatch' get a good review - that album rightly deserves it. I stumbled across the vinyl (back around 1985) in a second hand record store and bought it...can't even remember why??? First time I played it on the turntable and heard 'North Sea Oil' I was an instant fan. It was also because of this album that I decided to take up the flute. Sentimental value.

Great ranking. It's so close to mine! You really know what talking about. But mine have Dot Com in top ten. I love this album. I can't believe you put it in position 21.

"Roots to Branches" My favourite Tull album and I love most of their work.
