Aqualung - named after the post-millenium, 'Strange and Beautiful' hitmaker, is Jethro Tull's first great album. Perhaps it's their last, I haven't got through the book yet. Having discarded his seed drill for a guitar (and a flute), the godfather of agriculture wrote and recorded this. It's another album I've often been tempted to listen to, but never quite got round to it - and this is one of the wonders of this book. The title track, which kicks things off is brilliant and I love the bass and the guitar solo in it, 'Wondrin Aloud' is beauitful, and the rest of the album doesn't disappoint either.
Rating: 9/10
Favourite Track: Aqualung
