Best Beatles: British version of A Hard Day's Night
Best Bowie: Ziggy
Best Tull, and it is no contest: Stand Up

I will never forget the "Ziggy" show at the Hollywood Paladium - early 70's. The opening was nothing short of stunning - just before Bowie came on there was this bright flash of light...then complete darkness for what seemed an eternity. Then, Bowie appears at the center of the stage with with this beam of light from the ceiling washing over him. I know I was probably stoned out of my mind at the time, but at that moment, that evening of March 12, 1973 - I was convinced that I was watching a Martian singing rock and roll on a stage 30 feet in front of me. Best concert I ever attended. Procol Harum, a few months later, same year, at the Hollywood Bowl, September 21, 1973 was a close second.

Oh...almost forgot...favorite Bowie...Hunky Dory.

best bowie: young american

best beatles: here comes the sun

tull: errr aqualung

yes i realize these are songs not albums butr im a non-conformist you know

Actually, Aqualung is also the name of a Tull album.

Clearly, however, Jane was referring to the title track.

A friend of mine taped one of the recent "Best of" Tull compilations for me--it went right from the beginning up through "Steel Monkey," which I love (actually I adore Crest of a Knave, from start to finish).

I also have a real soft spot for Heavy Horses; I could keep that one in the CD player all day. (And have.)

I'm surprised no one's come in to vote for Diamond Dogs in the Bowie contest.

Best Beatles: Sgt. Pep (probably the most gimmicky of all their albums, but pulled off with panache)

Best Bowie: no opinion

Best Tull: Broadsword and the Beast
