While I certainly agree with other Tull albums springing to mind first, I think that Aqualung also has its place here. With folk and sometimes bluesy leanings, it manages to hit hard and display the progressive approach that would continue to develop and feature prominently in their catalogue. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) A Passion Play was my next choice. Fantastic album and very trippy. Saw this tour in NYC/MSG 1973 http://youtu.be/lP-N-RlJsow Edited May 2, 2016 by custom55 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 ^ '73 was the year I was born, but I have the 40th anniversary release of the album that has that short film on it. I'm envious of many of the shows you've seen, custom! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I appreciate lists. I think they are fun and enlightening to read, as well as frustrating and infuriating. I like reading them over and coming across something I haven't listened to in a long time or never heard. Lists are a great way to broaden one's horizons. I wish more members would contribute at least one recommendation. I really do find it fun.Lists are good.If, for example, there were some kind of movie list I'd be all over it...and not necessarily a genre specific one. Maybe by director or actor or 70s/80s/etc. I think my problem (not specifically this thread) is with the constant vivisection of putting music into genre specific subsection after subsection, and not the act of listing per se. A list of say, Best Bands from the U.K, I'd have no issue with. Also, it's a small thing but is "Top 250" even fitting? The only reason Jethro Tull is #2 is because I was around when the thread was first put up. Edited May 3, 2016 by JohnnyBlaze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djflex Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 81 kid a - radiohead (djflex) Not sure what all will think of this pick. But to me this album graduated the band just from alternative to prog . Pretty much a classic all the way through. Everything in its right place stunned me when i first heard it... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have chosen any of their albums, but for me, this one just has the edge. Brooding, hypnotic music. Fabulous musicianship but never showing off or playing more notes than are necessary. Sometimes less is more. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I appreciate lists. I think they are fun and enlightening to read, as well as frustrating and infuriating. I like reading them over and coming across something I haven't listened to in a long time or never heard. Lists are a great way to broaden one's horizons. I wish more members would contribute at least one recommendation. I really do find it fun.Lists are good.If, for example, there were some kind of movie list I'd be all over it...and not necessarily a genre specific one. Maybe by director or actor or 70s/80s/etc. I think my problem (not specifically this thread) is with the constant vivisection of putting music into genre specific subsection after subsection, and not the act of listing per se. A list of say, Best Bands from the U.K, I'd have no issue with. Also, it's a small thing but is "Top 250" even fitting? The only reason Jethro Tull is #2 is because I was around when the thread was first put up. The list isn't about a general order. It's just a list of favoured prog albums. Sheesh you take a little fun and blow out of proportion! Are you me? (You should be, I have good cake!) Edited May 3, 2016 by Segue Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) 77) Out of Focus- Out of Focus (Bigbobby10) Another underrated album. If Jethro Tull played the Saxophone he would sound like this guy. Really good stuff, worth a listen if you never have heard of them "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I thinkOh, by the way- which one is..." Jethro? I'm just messing with you, Bobby. You're a good kid. :) For the record, Ian Anderson did play the saxophone on a little bit of the A Passion Play and War Child albums. I've heard of Focus, but never listened to them. But I love Tull...I should check them out. Edited May 3, 2016 by Blue J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY?!!! ;) Nah, my only real thang with these threads is the dissection of music genres. I think I've stated that like 3 times now. I'm not taking your fun away. You guys ARE having fun. I'm just stating my opinion. If I were that distressed about this thread I wouldn't have posted in the first place. I'll take the cake though.
