    This thread will probably fail... sigh

    Don't hear enough about Tull on these forums..

    I used to hate Tull.. But it grows on you because there is something magical about a Tull song that drifts you off to another place. So many songs, so many diverse sounds. No two Tull albums sound alike. So this thread is for Tull... Better than the Beatles, in my opinion.

    Few favorite songs....

    My God
    Locomotive Breath
    Slipstream
    Too Old To Rock n Roll, Too Young To Die
    Velvet Green
    Look Into the Sun
    Black Satin Dancer
    Fire At Midnight
    Moths
    Broadsword
    Requiem




    TOO MANY TO NAME!!!

    And for those of you that know I have a vinyl collection.. I am close to having most every Tull album on LP... Original pressings :afro:


    When it is complete there will be pictures...

    Ive never really got into them, but then havent given them much of a chance so far.
    What album would you recommend me to start with, if I were to give them another go?

    Well my favorite Tull album is a tie between Aqualung and Songs From the Wood..

    Minstrel in the Gallery is another flawless album..

    I would suggest those three... They all sound very different because Tull changed there sound on different albums..

    Try those three first..

    Aqualung
    Minstrel in the Gallery
    Songs From the Wood

    Aqualung is a fucking trip on vinyl! I've listened to them my whole life with my dad and on many classic rock stations over the years lol I mostly got into them from them being a Iron Maiden influence in late elementary/Jr.high.

    I mostly dislike Tull but oddly enough the Thick As A Brick album is among my alltime favorite compositions.

    I saw them in Hawaii -early 70s-and they came out without a word and played Thick as a Brick all the way thru. When they finished the complete album and the applause died out ,Anderson said "and now for our second song'---
