    Top Ten Tull

    Borrowed from a response I made in another thread:

    Studio, live, compilations, alternate versions/releases EVERYTHING official is allowed!

    1. Songs from the Wood
    2. Christmas Album
    3. Benefit
    4. Aqualung
    5. Crest of a Knave
    6. Heavy Horses
    7. Rock Island
    8. Catfish Rising
    9. Roots to Branches
    10. Stormwatch

    BTW, yes, I am one of those non-progger type Tull fans, which is why I could never get my head round TaaB, PP, or Minstrel.

    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Like I said, everything official is allowed.

    Bursting Out, in the top 10 best live albums ever? It is in mine.

    I guess. It started in a sort of order and then lost it. All of their 70s stuff is great, but the Passion Play / Chateau stuff is top.

    War Child didn't quite make it, which is too bad. For me, it doesn't totally hold up on side 2, which is also why I rate TAAB so low. And I'm a rare one that really like Crest of a Knave. So it goes. I really like all these albums and Warchild a lot. I'm not as fond of TOTR&R, but it has a couple of good tracks. A is OK, too, but I've never totally bought it as a Tull album. And I don't much care for B&tB, or anything after Crest.

    Totally! Saw that as well. It was actually the first time I'd seen Tull and still my favorite. Great tour! Glad there's other fans of this album!

    I still kick myself that when we were in Budapest Hungary in the 1980s Tull was playing at the big outdoor sports arena the night we got in. I saw a poster for it on the way to the hotel. We contemplated going, but were just too disoriented after the trip to get it together. But now of course I regret not doing it. We could have seen them do "Budapest" in Budapest.

    I see Progatron had A in his list but expect to be the only one that has the balls to put Under Wraps in there and I'm proud.
