Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson has been making music for over a quarter of a century. The band he went into the studio with was Jethro Tull but the personal was either different from album to album or something on a personal level was going on with bandmates from album to album that he had to take over their playing duties. Name your top 5 Jetro Tull albums.
1)Aqualung
2)Crest of a Knave
3)Benifit
4)Songs from the Woods
5)Stormwatch
I have been buying the 24 bit remasters which sound great but also the updated liner notes by Ian tell you what "Trauma" the band was going through with each recording.

Love Tull, Have seen them three times. Which is a lot for me. Some FAVS although I like them all except Too Old to Rock&Roll.

Stand Up
Passion Play
Benefit
Broadsword and The Beast
Heavy Horses
Roots to Branches

Fans of Tull might also want to check out Fairport Convention, Strawbs and Richard Thompson.

"stand up" (pink island) is the tull album i return to most often. after that is "original masters" (DCC), "a passion play" (german pressing--HIGHLY recommended, "benefit" (also german press with alternate track), and of course "aqualung"

tull has always been pretty obviously self-indulgent stuff, but just plain fun! great in concert too IMHO!

Bursting Out (IMHO the definite Tull live recording)
Aqualung
Thick as a Brick
Heavy Horses (Underrated, but excellent)
Songs from the Wood

Can't really comment the CD's sonically, original British LP pressings are quite OK, but the French pressing of Aqualung I own isn't as good as the British original (heard, but do not own...)
