Thick as a Brick

Thick As A Brick
Jethro Tull
While the rest of the world sobs silently due to the break-up of the constantly misunderstood indie favorite Rainer Maria, I toiled in the glory of the unjustly ridiculed and constantly mocked flute-infused prog rock of Jethro Tull. Really, Thick as a Brick is without a doubt one of the best albums I have ever heard. It only consists of two songs, both being over twenty minutes long and both titled "Thick as a Brick," but it is one of the more fuller sounding rock albums I have heard in a while.

Part two of the new Decemberists song "The Island" sound familiar to anyone? Probably because it is from this album. Seriously, more indie bands rip off of Jethro Tull than you'd think.

Definitley worth a purchase.

See what I mean.

My mom the ex-hippie told me to get the Thick as a Brick LP when I was 16 and I fell for it as well. I used to play the first section, haven't in years though.

I really love the first album, This Was. Nothing extraordinary, just great late 60s blues-rock.

Awesome...my mom bought me their greatest hits when I was 7. I just kinda rediscovered them yesterday.

I'll have to listen to their earlier stuff too.
