Well, we all have different tastes. Some people don't understand and/or hate Tull and don't like some songs played and not played on ancient radio. I greatly respect the musicianship and quality of material through the years. I have seen Tull and Solo Anderson live more than any other artist, starting with the "Stand Up" tour, and am always impressed. This collection showcases those songs, according to the Ian Anderson penned liner notes, were selected by Ian himself. While I'd prefer to have a mix of a few different cuts I have previously enjoyed, this will do nicely to pop into the car player and cruise off into the night. Guess that's why Ipods are so popular...
Normally I'm not a fan of "Best of" albums/CD's. This one is no exception however the sheer amount of songs, makes it well worth the price of a CD. Also it is Tull, and most of their music is really good. Was a bit surprised more "Crest of a Knave" did'nt make it on here. Steel Monkey was the best though I suppose. There has been so many songs in a career that spans 42 years, to pick 20 best is kinda tough. 4 of 5 stars...
This disc provides most of the classic Tull hits I remember. There are 1 or 2 I would have liked to seen on it that are not there. With so much material over the course of approx 40 years, it is difficult at best to satisfy everyone. This collection does a good job, If buying only one disc this one is a good choice. It has classic examples of the variety of Tull.

The Very Best Of Jethro Tull - Jethro Tull (CD 2001) is some of the very best re-worked to be even better than the studio recordings because they are digitally remastered. This cd is a must for the music fan who has never been introduced to Jethro Tull and for the ultimate Tull fan because we must also have all recordings we can get ou hands on and because Ian Anderson's remasters are sometimes very strong and bring other instraments to the foreground which were only in the background before. Enjoy! Cheers!
not all the best. just some. and not the 'very' best. I love them in concert the way they put a whole album together. but this cd is just a mix collection of some of their work. the very best is not the best name for this. I have to write 100 characters for this review. so now that I am finished, I will let you know that I really like music of neil young. so that's who I am. I just bought tickets to see Jethro Tull at an Indian Casino. That way, I can see them and my wife will let me gamble some. smart guy! well, enjoy the cd. and you will see what i mean. enjoy.
like all greatest hits it contains a lot of my favorites and some not so favorite, a great value
