Benefit. Absolutely the best album. When I was 17 and heard this, it was another world of music, space, universe I ´ve never heard before. When I heard Sossity you are a woman I was lose for ever.
For me it is Tulls best. The musicianship off the charts. The progish overtones begin to show up wonderfully here. To Cry You A Song is my fav. Barres guitar is blazing and the rhythm section has some of the most incredible tracks ever recorded by anyone.
@@michaelbochnia5686 Agree. To the album Agualung. But Stand up is good too. When I listen "My God" is very good song. "Wondering aloud" too. Nowadays there are not band like this.
Fair critique Nelson-it would have been interesting to see where they might have gone if the original band endured. Thanks for taking the time to comment
@@VinylMonkey58 Ian always found top notch musicians and the performances were tight and flawless, but that first band had personality and I too am curious what their contributions would have been to the evolution of Tull over the years.
Great video. I’m a big Tull fan. Benefit is my favourite album of theirs closely followed by Aqualung, but I do love all of their albums certainly up to the mid 80s. I picked up the latest couple of albums which I quite like but I can’t help but wish Martin Barre was playing on them. Thanks again and take care. PS not sure if you’ve heard any of the Steven Wilson remixes of the classic Tull back catalogue? I picked up Aqualung as my old UK copy had seen better days and I have to say it sounds incredible it’s like a new listening experience and i much prefer the mix I think that’s how it should always have sounded. I picked up all of the available 70s albums remixed by SW off the back of that and they are all superb. They’re really not expensive so whichever is your most beat up copy give it a try! Cheers
Cheers 'lifeofvinyl'-I've heard of the SW mixes but haven't actually heard any of them.I will look out for one.I love Benefi, which was on my 'long list' for my latest vide -'20 almost perfect albums'.Thanks for taking the time to comment
@@VinylMonkey58 yeah well worth giving one a go I couldn’t be more impressed with them, but I do realise there are folks who still prefer the original mix. I’ll give the ‘20 albums’ video a watch cheers. PS I just made my first couple of videos if you’d like to give them a watch probably the best thing about them is they’re nice and short 😂
I enjoyed the understatement in the description of some of your teachers Mal. 'Prone to violence' is a lovely way of putting it. I can't get beyond the early Tull so as a fan I'm really living in the past. I rate This Was pretty high after listening to the remastered version. I like Passion Play but the concept and lyrics don't work for me after the beautiful English pastoral of Thick as a Brick. I do love The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles though (He should've gone to SpecSavers). I'd have preferred the album to develop that into a longer form. I know it's cheating but the compilation Living in the Past was always my first choice, with Benefit (Flawed, but a real fans favourite) a close second.
Thanks a lot VM. This was a very interesting ranking. Thick As A Brick is my favourite album by Jethro Tull. There is a couple of these album you have ranked I haven't heard yet, among them your number two. I will definitively do it now. Did you know that Mr. Jethro Tull became 75 years old yesterday', VM?

@@paulatB2B Yeah, I know I'm supposed to like it more, and that I have to agree with hardcore Tull fans, but that's where it falls on my list. Bear in mind, Stand Up could easily interchange with a few albums above it on any given Sunday, depending on my mood, however many beers I've had that day, how long ago I've listened to it, or just simply the barometric pressure and other patterns in the weather.
I agree with Songs from the wood beeing Nr. 1. It took a while, until I even liked it, but then it climbed higher and higher , and when I saw them last week in Bremen, I was glad they played the title track...
Yep. I remember, we went to town to buy records. My girlfriend bought songs from the wood. I bought the damned. We played both. Then Wood again. Then again. And I got her to allow me to take it. Then I listened to Aqualung and bought a flute. Tull were a big part of my life. Cheers
Enjoyed yer countdown. My personal favorite is Benefit. I first saw them live in 1970 promotin' Benefit with the amazin' Scottish trio Clouds as the openin' act. The second song was My God! which no one had heard as it didn't come out until Aqualung the followin' year...Fantastic! The best live show ever.
Thanks for your comment John. I remember trying and failing (sticking 2p coins into the public phone box as I recall) to get Tull tickets in the early 70s, so unfortunately never got to see them.
An interesting order to your ranking of those albums . I liked your choices for the favourite tracks from each album . Here’s my list in order of preference : Aqualung ( a perfect blend of acoustic and electric rock ) Stand Up Thick as a Brick Benefit Minstrel in the Gallery A Passion Play Songs From the Wood Stormwatch ( with the wonderful song , Home ) War Child Too Old to Rock & Roll Heavy Horses This Was If we counted the great double album Living in the Past , it would be in the number 2 slot , and Broadsword would rank 9th in my list . Cheers !
Congratulations on the selection. Nice to see A Passion Play ranked so highly (I think it's an unfairly criticized album at the time). Thick as a brick is absolutely perfect. different album, just like the others on the list- I'm not sure which one is the best for me. I just love Jethro Tull and it's hard for me to be objective. Benefit is certainly brilliant, but so are Stand Up, Minstrell in the Gallery, Aqualung... This Was, first - blues album, a wonderful tribute to Roland Kirk
@@VinylMonkey58 And I listened to Passion Play for the umpteenth time just last night and enjoyed it again. Especially in the B side. Enjoy and best regards from Croatia.
Cheers Robert - I guess that makes you a little older than me. I was only 12 in 69. I tried and failed to get tickets around 73/74, and then when Punk hit in 76 I binned the Tull -only to return many years later
Great list. I enjoyed your picks. I would have to put Aqualung at the top, but that is debatable of course. I would also add Living in the Past...sure it is a collection but it includes some important early tunes. Cannot agree more on limiting the list to 1979. Nothing after compares.
Years ago s fellow musician and I were talking and the subject of Tull came up. His remark was how everyone likes Tull but they have drastically different favorite albums and incarnations of Tull. I accepted that with a nod as the last word. The best Jethro Tull album in the Universe is Passion Play, by the way.
Thanks for this. I broadly agree. But these are all good. I struggled with Too Old. For me (perhaps because of time with my girlfriend, later wife) I would put Songs Wood at number one. Magical beyond words. None of their later albums were as good. I left off even following. Cheers
Bro, Something on the move, is one of tull's heaviest and best tunes, and the rest of the album is not too shabby either, Stormwatch deserves better. IMO
It's so beautiful but 50 years on of course I get it was ALSO a parady. The evidence is Written all over it with the newspaper and zany concerts an all. Ian is just so brilliant.@@michaelmclaughlin6376
Stand Up is amazing , if you listen to just one track make it We Used to know , guitar solo just soars . Be careful if driving when playing it , you will start on motorway doing a safe 75 mph and by end of solo I dare you to say you were doing less than 120.
They're all great but Passion Play gets my vote. Dark genius and nothing like they'd done before. You are definitely right after Stormwatch it did go downhill a bit
Not my favorite, but Benefit is a very special album for me. My first intro to Tull. To me its the freshest sounding Tull to this day. I turn folks on to Tull with this and Stand Up. Brick is my mos def favorite. Thanks
My first intro to JT was Aqualung. My parents must be crazy about me, cause I play it on my tape recorder as a student 17 every day for a year. But when I listened Benefit a was absolutely high.
I appreciate that Mr Tull thank you. Whilst these things are entirely subjective and just a bit of fun-I've had more vitriol from Tull fans than for any other video I've done
Jethro Tull were a favorite of mine in the early 70’s. I didn’t like Passion Play and I simply moved on. I haven’t heard any of their albums after Passion Play.
I completely disagree with you, Passion Play is not only the best Jethro Tull album , it is the best progressive rock album ever made in prog rock above their competitors, Yes , Genesis , Pink Floyd and K Crimson , if you don’t understand this kind of progressive rock music then go to hear commercial music as Taylor Swift.
@@javierllerena5756 The jump from I don’t like Passion Play to go listen to Taylor Swift is a massive one. The Prog bands you listed were very obvious ones. I suggest you should dig deeper.
I've been into Tull 68-77 since 95. Anything after Songs From The Wood doesn't interest me much. Tried Heavy Horses and Stormwatch but they don't do it for me and anything after that does it even less.
I don't mind Heavy Horses or Stormwatch after I listened a few more times, but they are the very last of the "classic" Tull. Starting with the 80s, it was kind of meh after that.
Basically I agree, until 1978 are the best albums. Ian was an incredible melody maker, at the same level than Lennon or McCartney, for sure. The rest of the people are several steps below. In the middle level is Selling England by the pound by Genesis, close to these three people.

Cheers Brendan - I too got sacked by Freddie Lumsden (for being late to deliver night Mails after my bike got nicked from school bike sheds). Although my unfair dismissal was well before Heavy Horses was recorded. I'm not familiar with the 80s albums, but may seek one or two out on my 2nd hand forays.
I don't like A Passion Play, I think it's pretentious and boring. But I love Nightcap, the album that should have been released instead of APP. I can't understand why Ian Anderson thought that should be binned and they should use only some tunes and do APP. Nightcap is so much better. And I agree that Benefit is an underrated masterpiece, perhaps for me the best of all Tull albums. Only gems, from beginning to end.
OMG! I can't believe it but I agree with your choices almost exactly, except that I'm not sure I wouldn't swap Stand Up! with A Passion Play. I love Passion Play but not consistently every moment like I do with Thick as a Brick or maybe even Stand Up!

"Living in the Past" should be considered as an original album for all practical purposes including tops such as this one.
Ian says Brick is a parady but also doesn't deny that statement doesn't mean that it's not a very meaningful album.
I never got the parody angle. It may have been in Tull's mind, but not mine. It was just good music.
