As a life long Tull fan, I first saw Opeth open for Porcupine Tree on their "Damnation" acoustic tour. I liked them, and bought "Damnation". Imagine my surprise when the next record I obtained was "Blackwater Park"! I now own the complete discography of both of these marvelous bands.
If I were to choose 5 albums for an Opeth fan, for those who don't know any Tull albums, and who can appreciate the post-Heritage age, I would recommend: Rokflote 2023, Minstrel in the Gallery 1975, Roots to Branches 1995, Aqualung 1971, Passion Play 1973. This is my pick for today, probably tomorrow I would pick a different set ;)
Also, not all growls are the same. Not even all Opeth growls. Maybe it just isn't for you, fair enough! I have my own deal-brakers. Just don't be prematurely dismissive 😊🤘
Which albums would you recommend to Opeth fans discovering Tull for the first time ?

Another excellent video. Thank you. I love the suggestions for Opeth. I go back and forth on them. Interesting point on the growls. Hmmm.
Love Stormwatch. So good.
Such an underrated gem in the Tull catalog. Love it.
my father listened to Jethro Tull, I was a child but it seemed to stay in my head, so I continued with Opeth
@@MartinaHorvat-g3g same here, and I now I play Opeth records for my dad :-)

@@mellertid I enjoy them personally but it took me awhile to warm up to them
@ShedSoundsMediawithIanBeabout I would listen to Meshuggah if I could stand the vocalisatons.

when I'm angry with someone I can listen to them since early morning😂
