I've been a huge Tull fan for a long time and would cite them as one of my
biggest influences. If you like "Rock Island" you should definately get
"Crest of a Knave" which is an excellent album and came right before Rock
Island. "Under Wraps" is in a similiar vein to "Broadsword" and has some
nice songs on it but is not as strong as an album. I would also delve back
a little and explore some of their early work like "Benefit", "Minstrel in
the Gallery", "Stand Up", and "Songs from the Wood." And that's just barely
scratching the surface. Their recent work ,"Jethro Tull.Com" I thought was
a good effort as well but I have not latched on to it as much as some of
their more classic albums.
