Notes_Norton Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 I do appreciate their music. One of my faves - "My God" because of the flute solo 1

bitflipper Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Best album, IMO, is Songs from the Wood...the epitome of prog. Why do I think it represents the best of prog? For starters, it's musically sophisticated but not pretentious. Like all good prog, it has a theme. It blends diverse instrumentation and styles. The musicianship is outstanding, clean and free of cheap gimmicks (e.g. no deedly-deedly triplets or kick hits that sound like a Harley idling). No Autotune. It imitates no one, follows no trendy formulas, dares to stand entirely on its own. This, to me, is what defines great prog. 2

DeeringAmps Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Love me some Tull. Favorite from Standup; Back to the Family. I handed off my vinyl collection New Year’s Day. Standup and a half dozen other Tull gems amongst over 100 titles. haven’t owned a turntable in 30 years? t held back one LP, my wife’s 9th grade choir performance; don’t know what I’ll do with it...
craigb Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 This album (20 Years Of Jethro Tull) got a LOT of play at my house: The other 22 albums did too, just not as much! ?
Doug Rintoul Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Cut my Tull teeth on Aqualung and Thick as a Brick. Even did the crossword puzzle and connect the dots!

We used to Dear Jill I wonder if Abrahams regretted leaving Tull after Tull got famous and very profitible. I have a B-Big album or two somewhere in my LP collection. My favorite Tull albums are the earlier ones: This Was, Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Passion Play, and War Child. Then for no particular reason I drifted away. I've enjoyed a lot what I've heard in later offerings, but never purchased another LP. I don't know why, perhaps it was just time for me to move on. Notes
Bajan Blue Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Benefit and Stand up were a couple of the first albums I bought I love the track inside on benefit Nigel
Fleer Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 My God was great. Ian Anderson made me stick to my flute lessons.
Notes_Norton Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I bought a used flute, a fingering chart, had a girl fan who played the flute teach me the embouchure, and I taught myself the rest. Thanks to Ian I am now a flute player along with sax, wind synth, bass, guitar, keyboard synth, drums and voice. Insights and incites by Notes
