Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Should be rated in the top 10 Rock songs. IT is honestly one of the most brilliant songs ever written. But that's just my opinion

Agreed. Grab Classic Records' stunning 200g version, you'll never listen to another copy. Or transfer it to 24/192 and got to town.

Go listen to "Songs From the Woods." Velvet Green is better, IMO.

That's a good album, too. My personal favorite Tull is "The Minstrel In The Gallery"

Aqualung is probably one of my top 10 prog rock albums, great lyrical and musical content. I have luckily found an original press in almost mint condition off ebay for just a few pounds, the 24/96 digital rip i have recorded sounds awesome as well.

As always...unless they're facts, they're opinions. But I agree, although I wouldn't put it in my top 10. Maybe top 10 for its lyrics, though. Some of the most classic phrases in rockdome, eg. "...snot running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes," "spitting out pieces of his broken luck," among others. These just come to mind cause I'm always singing them to myself.

I have this. But I also have the DCC Gold GZS-1105, which I had before I got the Classic Records 200g. Everyone says pretty much what you're saying about the vinyl rip, but I'm still on the fence as to which sounds better to me. Maybe it depends on the day of the week. Thoughts as to why you feel Classic is superior?

Great song, one of the most memorable, and recognizable, openings. I was lucky enough to see Tull perform the entire album circa 1971 (on their Aqualung tour) in Syracuse, NY. In the front row, in fact.

I think there is a limit to the greatness of any rock band featuring a flute (or a flautist!). I prefer Thick As A Brick anyway.

I don't know that I could really choose (at the moment, I'd go for Hunting Girl, but it will change in a week or two), but there is no such limit. Rock on, old guy with on flute!

I love all the Tull albums from This Was until Too Old To Rock And Roll....
I feel however Stand Up / Aqualung and especially Thick As A Brick feature the band in their prime
By the way if you like Aqualung be sure to check out some Genesis and Moody Blues.
Tull is definitely the bluesiest of that trio despite the Moody Blues having blues in their name....that said, I think Genesis are my favorite of the bunch and The Moody Blues are very beloved too.

I see a just barely common thread in the world of Progressive/Art Rock between Tull and the Moody Blues, as the Moodies ceased being "bluesy" right around 1967, with the release of Days of Future Passed. This, of course, began that wonderful stretch of seven classic albums, culminating with Seventh Sojourn in 1972.
