Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson has been making music for over a quarter of a century. The band he went into the studio with was Jethro Tull but the personal was either different from album to album or something on a personal level was going on with bandmates from album to album that he had to take over their playing duties. Name your top 5 Jetro Tull albums.
1)Aqualung
2)Crest of a Knave
3)Benifit
4)Songs from the Woods
5)Stormwatch
I have been buying the 24 bit remasters which sound great but also the updated liner notes by Ian tell you what "Trauma" the band was going through with each recording.

Tull has two boxed sets, a 20th anaversary and a 25th.
the five best IMHO, Stand Up, Benefit,This Was, Night Cap
(import) and Broadsword. Living in the past was also one of Ian Andersons greatest accomplishments. It is a shame that he has lost his voice.

I really hate consistently bringing this up but many Tull albums are aviable on 4 track open reel. The Magtec brand is far superior than anything out there even at 3&3/4 IPS.
Passion Play is a Magtec at 7&1/2 IPS. Outstanding.

Mick Abrams was the 'blues' driving force of this band. While the uniqueness of listening to a flute did account for some wonderful rock, I miss the old days. They did some nice stuff afterward, Broadsword, Nite Cap, Songs from the Wood & the both 20yr & 25yr box sets. Ian Anderson has lost his voice but continues to preform. He should quit while he is ahead.
