I see Sunday Feeling got up to 19 last night so we very nearly had a winner for This Was. If everyone would like to not drag this out too much I would suggest moving straight on to Stand Up once a song hits 20 points rather than doing the whole album. Good idea? Sorry, Col.....I had to knock My Sunday Feeling back a peg or two just because I couldn't let it beat my song too fast. I just love a good, sassy harp song! ;D And while I think the game is great fun (not dragging on too much for me at all...), I can see the logic of moving to the next album once each previous album has its winner.

Okay, I put Round down to zero, so we're getting there! I'd just like to know, are we voting for the same ones over and over? I had been doing the same ones, but this time decided to pick the one possible winner that I like better. Are we supposed to switch, though?

Interesting that Dharma has not achieved a point yet - as, IMHO, is a brilliant rocker with no hint of "blues". Please check out the live version on LITP - live at the Carnegie Hall in 1970. Surely this recording captures JT and a young IA (22 years old or so) just reaching their pinnacle although I first saw JT in 1974 and they were still at their best. The 70’s were great for JT and I am glad I was able to experience those treasured years. Sorry, I have moved away from the “Best song” thread and have drifted into “deadbeat to old geezer” mode. Regards to all.

I had been doing the same ones, but this time decided to pick the one possible winner that I like better. Are we supposed to switch, though? If I have the idea right, once a day you take a point from your least favorite song, and add it to your favorite song. So, since I like Someday The Sun Won't Shine For You, once a day I take a point away from Round (my least favorite) and add it to my favorite. The only time I've subtracted a point from a song other than Round is by taking a point now and then from My Sunday Feeling, just so my song has a fighting chance! nonrabbit - that one, and a few other albums!

Okay - Here's our chance to put the first album aside and move on to on of Tull's best.
Somebody please end this!

Okay, I'd picked breaking me up originally, but it really was pretty much a toss up with Some day the sun... so I don't feel dishonest!

woo hoo, we have a winner. So, without further ado, it's straight onto round 2 and a Tull classic......Stand Up. Every track on this album is superb so this is going to be tough!

I agree about Bouree - that's one that I really don't anticipate ever needing to hear again.

Tough one indeed. I think Bouree may suffer from a bit of redundancy.

Score! My song won! Woot!
But here we go with the first really challenging album...
new day yesterday - 10 Jeffrey goes to Leicester Square - 10 Bouree - 5 Back to the family - 10 Look into the sun - 10 Nothing is easy - 11 Fat man - 10 We used to know - 14 Reasons for waiting - 10 For a thousand mothers - 10
Shame to say it because I love the classical-ness of Bouree. But I dread it every time they announce it at concerts. Hate all the snorting at the end.

This is a tough call. This is a VERY tough call. I know that whatever song I grade down one point I won't be entirely happy about my decision. Every track on this album is a classic. Ok....I am gonna dock a point off ONE of the following 3 songs;
A New Day Yesterday Nothing Is Easy For A Thousand Mothers
thinking.......mmmmmm.....thinkng.........
ok - just re-listened to those three tracks above. A New Day Yesterday is going down a point. The track that is going up a point for me is Back to the Family - total classic. The guitar, bass, drums and flute at the end of this song are superb. I love the flute riff that come in at 3'31 and Barres moaning/searing guitar blasts.

We Used to Know is a absolute, beautiful, classic Tull song,.....but before the epic songs and the Aqualung war horses, Nothing is Easy was an absolute show-stopping, long jam, rock and roll extravaganza highlight of live Tull.....that's why it is getting my vote again today. and because it is the perfect response to the question of picking the best Tull songs of all time....it isn't easy!
