Dear Folks,

 

During the past week, this entire album has been running through my HEAD.

 

I know what it signifies to me....these past 6 days.

 

But, more importantly....

 

What does this music evoke in YOU?

 

 

IF anything, for that matter.....

 

 

Best regards,

 

Gamma

 

 

 

 

 

Ian Anderson rules.

 

Aqualung is probably one of the greatest rock songs ever. 

 

And yes I know its a different album.

Minstrel in the gallery! Martin Barre was some guitarist, saw Tull on the Heavy Horses tour 1978, incredible!!

Thick as a brick ?

Dumb as donuts

Glad you liked it 😀

How intuitive of you.....

 

I was 10 years old when this was released and my elder brother bought a copy. At the time i liked the music but didn’t fully understand it, loved to read the newspaper album cover though.

 

Took a few years before i realised the meaning of the album, a parody of the story of an eight year old boy and the poem he wrote about growing up.

 

The band, in particular Ian Anderson, was sick that a previous album, Aqualung, was labelled as a concept album, strongly denying this he exaggerated the concept angle on Thick As as a sarcastic reply to the music journalists.

 

Thick As A Brick 2 is also a great album but TAAB 1 was such a hard act to follow it didn’t receive the acclaim it deserved. 40 years after the original it covers what became of young Gerald and i strongly recommend anyone who liked TAAB to follow up with TAAB 2.

 

So, TAAB conjures up for me some great memories of my childhood and as I grew my understanding of the music grew with me.

It's on my playlist, love some Jethro Tull. Bungle in the Jungle is a good song too😁

meh.

Speak for yourself.

I am NOT thick as a brick. 

But I am Too Old to Rock n Roll and Too Young to Die

And I haven't been to pattaya in a long time, but I do Like to Bungle in the Jungle

 

I think I'll sit this one out.  Hope you don't mind.
