Personally, I think Baker Street Muse is a greater accomplishment than A Passion Play. Sharper focus, more thorough and a more direct and effective projection. I think it has more lasting impact. I still like APP, but I think it needs to be compared to something! APP was created first and is very important and well done, but I thought its boat needs rocking.

Absolutely, Ians songwriting at this stage was more mature. Its got everything fine Acoustic,ripping Electric guitar,pounding drums,nice piano and fine orchestral parts.

I love Baker Street Muse, there was a time in high school when I would listen to it nonstop. Great song. Hawkmoth, I definitely agree on that Ian's songwriting was more mature at this stage. But it is my opinion that Passion Play was a much more creative and far-reaching piece. More out of the box might be what I'm trying to say. I love both of them, but if I had to choose one, most of the time I'd pick Passion Play. Good choice of songs to compare, by the way.

The more sentimental portions of Baker St are lush and sophisticated as was the 70s pop style in '75... I love those parts of the song most, but on the whole PP is stronger. The more I think of it, Baker Street Muse could have been another full concept album. MitG is about 66.23% concept album.

They are both great, but Baker Street Muse is perhaps my favorite Tull song....and yes I consider it A song and not a melody of songs.

Both are great, but APP is more diverse and more epic imo.

I love both, but Baker street muse is better. I don't like the new edits(Wilson remix) to Baker Street Muse creating five different songs.....it needs to be enjoyed as one glorious 16 Minute song.
