đź’ˇ Album Trivia
Jethro Tull’s Thick As A Brick was intended as a parody of overblown concept albums, but ironically became one of the most acclaimed prog rock masterpieces. The faux-newspaper packaging added a satirical layer to the release, showcasing frontman Ian Anderson’s signature wit. The original LP topped the U.S. Billboard chart in 1972.
