Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson has been making music for over a quarter of a century. The band he went into the studio with was Jethro Tull but the personal was either different from album to album or something on a personal level was going on with bandmates from album to album that he had to take over their playing duties. Name your top 5 Jetro Tull albums.
1)Aqualung
2)Crest of a Knave
3)Benifit
4)Songs from the Woods
5)Stormwatch
I have been buying the 24 bit remasters which sound great but also the updated liner notes by Ian tell you what "Trauma" the band was going through with each recording.

Qdrone,

You get all-time obscure music stud for "Wild Turkey". I actually laughed out loud when I saw your post. If I recall correctly (highly doubtful) it was a pretty decent Tull knock off. I certainly never thought I'd ever even TRY to recall that one correctly!

FWIW, my five:

See Feil - same 5, same order.

Wild Turkey is original Tull bassist Glenn Cornick's band. They have recently gotten back together with ex-Tull drummer Clive Bunker to play a few gigs. Cornick was actually fired from Tull for no apparent reason.

Maybe someone knows the name of the keyboard player with Tull who is now female having gone through a sex change operation. It must have been hell when he was going through his hormonal injections when they were on the road. I know he was with the band over twenty years.

Qdrone:

That would be David (now Dee) Palmer. The transformation happened in 2004. I doubt s/he was on the road.
