Ummm...yeah. They had an incredible run from Stand Up in 1969 to Stormwatch in 1979. Any one album from that era is better than any album from 1980 onward. But I'll say Aqualung, which, in my estimation, is their greatest album. From a song for song standpoint, it is the only album that can go head to head with Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Led Zep's Vol. 4 or Yes' Fragile. Not a clinker in the bunch, and several that are downright legendary.

Yes, indeed. The best Tull is the 70"s Tull. Ian said in an interview that he can"t write anything that simple anymore, I wish he could.... smileyvault-worthy

All the best albums from musicians of note are written and recorded when they are within a certain age band and then it's gone. Tull were really stretching out in the 70's through their musicianship and song writing.
Thick as a Brick or Minstrel in the Gallery for me. If pressed I would have to go for Thick as a Brick.
