Let the disagreeing begin!!

[Halmyre]

Some of my personal favourites in there, but Witch's Promise isn't that unknown in the UK at least, thanks to a Top of the Pops clip with a very manic Anderson hamming it up.

[SunRunner2]

Some rarities and more obscure stuff are on the list, but "Cold Wind To Valhalla" is quite well known and one of my favorites from "Minstrel". Also, if you are in to later stages JT you better be familiar with "Jump Start", from "Crest". If I had a living uncle who was a JT fan, he would hopefully know these two cuts.

Points taken! In the end, see it as more of a fun list than a serious statement!

Nice list. No argument with any of that.

In fact, it could form the basis of a Tull playlist for wfh this week.

[Mister Triscuits]

I doubt if my one living uncle has ever heard of Jethro Tull.

Yes, it's a good list and I enjoyed looking up some of the obscure cuts. Thanks.

i see a few of my favorites there, notably Sealion, Moths, Jack Frost And The Hooded Crow, Dun Ringill, and Cold Wind To Valhalla, so I certainly can't complain with this list.

I was going to say that.
Well, not about your uncle.

Pretty nice list. "Sweet Dream" is the one I'll mention as not being "unknown," if only because it was one of the first Tull songs I heard (MTV played a video of it excerpted from Slipstream in the 80's).

[The Dark Elf]

I could probably pick a baker's dozen more obscure:

To Be Sad Is a Mad Way to Be
Critique Oblique
Sailor
Paradise Steakhouse
Good Godmother
Summerday Sands
Salamander's Rag Time
Old Aces Die Hard
Working John, Working Joe
Jack A Lynn
Quatrain
King Henry's Madrigal
Coronach

Very obscure list this is; the only one that I immediately recognized and am familiar with is "Summerday Sands", which was a bonus cut on Minstrel In The Gallery. Based on these lists, it appears as if "Minstrel" was an odd man out album which is a bit of a surprise to me, considering that it is the 9th best selling JT LP. Of course, remasters with bonus tracks always bring in less heard cuts which may have not been previously featured.

My uncle doesn't but I sure do! Cool list. I made a Tull/Ian 7hr 16min compilation on Spotify that I spin the living headcheese out of.

Cool!

Great list! You had me from "For Michael Collins, Jeffrey And Me", love "Dun Ringell" too. I remember reading Opeth used that as inspiration for "Will O' the Wisps" off one of their recent albums.
