Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick From the album of the same name released in 1972. Amazing when it came out. It was just one song covering the two sides of the vinyl edition. And the tune lasted some 45 minutes. Thick As A Brick and the follow-up "A Passion Play" (1973) rank among the progressive rock's masterpieces.

This is probably my favourite JT album, I saw them in 2006 and Ian had lost most of his voice but they were still great.

I did see the band live in May this year. They were terrific. The set lasted 2 1/2 hours, Ian Anderson was in very humoured spirits and a good time was had by all. Excellent show.

YES - Starship Trooper
Taken from their live triple vinyl album "Yessongs" 1973. The song originally appeared on "The Yes Album" 1971.
Still a great song with the musical mastermind Rick Wakeman on keyboards.
