Thick as a Brick

Jethro Tull

A single, sprawling forty-four minute epic that parodies the concept album while perfecting it. Masterful flute-led rock that shifts from pastoral folk to heavy prog.

February 18, 1972 · Chrysalis

A brilliant, high-energy collision of intellectual satire and pastoral warmth.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic opening acoustic guitar melody that establishes the central theme before the full band explodes into a heavy shuffle.
