by the era in which we were first exposed to music?
I have had a flick through some of the reads and the production of Tull albums is often mentioned.
Just wondering why we have our preferences?
I am not a musical technician and some of the jargon around production, eludes me. However having first listened to music in the late 60's and early 70's, I prefer the warmth of these recordings. I also like current music that tries to replicate the record production of music in the early 70's. (It has just occurred to me that my preference might be mere nostalgia rather than anything technical?)
Similarly my workmate who is 20 years younger than me first heard music in the '80's and prefers records produced that typify that particular era.
Much as I like Heavy Horses, something about the production seems less intimate than previous Tull recordings.
Just wondering if you have any thoughts on this and which Tull album is your favourite?worst judging them purely on production?

Just wondering if you have any thoughts on this and which Tull album is your favourite?worst judging them purely on production? For my sins I don't have a favourite Tull album and I've always appreciated Ian Anderson's way of embracing any new technology that comes along including, for instance, the drum machines that so many hate. I've worked with many people who actually preferred the sound of Underwraps and A and they were 10 - 15 years younger than I am. In the drawing office where I worked in the 80s, we had music playing every day and the use of drum machines was no big deal and, in hindsight it could be argued, dragged Tull well and truly into that era. My own preferences are for the early albums and to be honest This Was and Benefit are rarely out of the CD player but then A Passion Play and Rock Island, for example, are also regularly played. So I believe it boils down to the individual's taste in musical styles and also when somebody began to listen to Tull albums.
