Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood or Heavy Horses or Stormwatch?

I love all three albums. Stormwatch is my favourite winter album.

 

Songs From The Wood, although Heavy Horses is a close second. If they'd been released the other way around, I might have said HH, but as I heard SFTW first I have more emotional contact with that album. Never got into Stormwatch as much as the other two.

 

All three are huge favourites of mine and I would probably try to squeeze all of them into my Tull Top 5, if I ever had to put such a list together. I'd say Heavy Horses is my biggest favourite of the three, Stormwatch would be the second and Songs from the Wood the third, by the most negligible of margins.

 

Love the album. I bought it when it came out. Thanks for the link. I always liked Something on the Move. 35 years ago. My first year of college.

 

All three of them are among my favourite albums and I hope they all get the deluxe treatment soon. There are so many beautiful songs on these albums.

 

I prefer Heavy Horses.

 

They're all good...Heavy Horses is my favourite by a whisker.

 

Q: Which album do you like the most? Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses, or Storm watch?

A: All of them, Katie.

Heavy Horses

 

Songs From The Wood. Not only is it my favorite of these three, it's my favorite JT album.

 

Songs from the Wood for me. Heavy Horses always sounded like a bit of a "clone" to me but in recent listens I've grown to appreciate it's differences more than when it first was released, so now it's not far behind SftW. I think I may need to revisit Stormwatch now too - I never gave it the attention it may have deserved.

 

I think Stormwatch is my favorite of the 3.
Not a big fan of A. A few great songs but some really lousy ones too.

 

Songs from the Wood, in a big way. Probably in my top three Tull albums; Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll.... was my first Tull purchase (late to the party).

 

Songs from the Wood. Amazing, Amazing album.
Masterfully written and performed. The band is so tight, and Barry plays his ass off on the drums.
And sonically, it's beautiful.

 

It's so close (even though I already said Stormwatch). I have to say, for me, Songs From The Wood is my least favorite of the three. Maybe some of the lighter stuff i.e. Ring Out, Fire at Midnight don't gel with my tastes like the darker stuff. Strange really. Please feel free to tell me I'm wrong, and why.

But like I said, it IS close

 

ALL THREE!!!!
