Honestly, I tried to participate, but realized that applying numerical ratings to albums by my favourite artists was way too crude a way to express my love towards them.

I don't know XTC that well, but had Go2 and hated it, but like the five or six later albums by them that I still have, so I can totally see it.

I was looking through to see if anyone had done Tull. I have stronger feelings for Catfish, Songs and Broadsword than you, and less love for A Passion Play, A and This Was. And thank you for not calling TAAB 2 a Tull album.
Songs should probably get a strong 8 like Heavy Horses as they're pretty much cut from the same cloth. I just happen to like Heavy Horses a bit better. I'm not crazy about Ian Anderson's obsession with Mark Knopfler circa Crest hence why I gave those albums a lower mark, but they're not bad by any means. A Passion Play is not an album I liked initially, but with repeated plays I've grown to love it. It's one of my very favorite Tull albums (as you can see)
