My favorite era of Jethro Tull includes the CDS:
- This Was, 1968
- Stand Up, 1969
- Benefit, 1970
- Aqualung, 1971
- Thick as a Brick, 1972

If you are new to Jethro Tull and have enjoyed watching all the progressive rock clips that you see on youtube I suggest that you go out and buy these CDs. They are from Jethro Tull's prime and I think you would enjoy them.

  • @UncaDollas There's not even a comparison and the 2 bands should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

  • Great clip. I love how it builds as the instruments arrive.

    @pequodman: I'll have to agree!  The tune ends too soon for us all!

    (Though I've always been rather partial to "And flowers bloom like madness in the spring.")

  • @pequodman "summer lease hath all to short a date"

  • Met you on skye you got me pissed on tequila .thank you,

  • Will be seeing them in Derby in 2012, a quality evening without a doubt.

  • "A vida é uma canção longa".

    And it is to be sung, indeed.

  • IMO that one simple line"The tune ends too soon for us all"is the most perfect line ever written in a song

  • @hmoy24677 I think the word you're looking for is "tune".

  • stunning

  • @hmoy24677
