Do You Own Jethro Tull - Aqualung?
- Thread starter Richland123

The night before my final chemistry exam I was at a Jethro Tull concert, needless to say that I didnt do as well in the exam as I hoped.
Locomotive Breath was on the set list of my first band.

Yes a unique sound like no other progressive band. A Passion Play and Thick as a Brick are a monumental work of art. Aqualung was one of the first albums that were on my turntable, the flute work, composition, lyrics and arrangement really amazing.
The question is...did he need to Google it?
Yes...Aqualung was my 1st Tull album, bought in 1972, probably within a couple weeks of buying Machine Head.
Still have that LP; bought the cd many years back, too.
After Aqualung, I almost immediately bought TAAB...and received Living In The Past Xmas '72.
Loved TAAB for the jump...as an album, Living In The Past (loved the tune) took time for me.
Passion Play I bought the following year...never liked it...was the last Tull album I bought until I recently went back & bought all their pre-Aqualung albums.
Yeah, I still have that on LP. Nice book inside.
Getting the 2-cd set of what's on those 2ea LPs...is expensive.
The 1-cd version has a couple of tunes omitted ("Bouree" & "Teacher").
I used to have it on vinyl, now I have it on CD. I also own Thick as a Brick on vinyl and CD, and Thick as Brick ll on CD. I have the Best Of CD as well.
this was the first & only album that i hated then loved. first time time hearing it,.. HATED IT! a day later i called my friend who owned it and asked, "who was that band,.. i need THAT"!!!!
Nope, not now, never did.
Despite being majorly into British prog-rock when I was a teenager, I guess I was always a very selective prog-rock fan, and so there were some mainstays of the genre that I just could never get into. Jethro Tull was one of them. There are probably a half dozen tunes from their repertoire that I really love, but my dislike for everything else thay did is just too powerful!

I bought Aqualung when it first came out, then a few years later got the quad LP which I still have. It's the last Tull album I liked but it hasn't aged well IMHO, Ian's philosophising might have been "heavy" when I was 16, but today...meh. These days I only play side one when I pull it out.
Aqualung really suffers from the absence of Glenn Cornick. I don't know if Jeffrey ever got better but he's pretty boring on his first time out. Yeah, it's got some monster guitar riffs but so what
Stand Up is still my favorite
No, but I have Songs From The Wood on RTR.

I bought it upon it's release. In my early days as a drummer this was the first music that I attempted to play that contained odd time signatures an/or multiple time signatures. I think that I wore out at least to copies on vinyl trying to master it.
It's on my CD wall as well, I'm going to pull it down for a listen tonight.
