Concluding Summer of Prog, or Autumn of Prog (sorry for the delay) with a classic 1972 progressive rock album from Jethro Tull: Thick as a Brick. Written by singer / flutist / guitarist Ian Anderson, and influenced by the humor of Monty Python's Flying Circus, Thick as a Brick is one long 43 piece split up over two record sides. How does it compare to the other prog classics this summer?

Great video. I can’t believe Gerald on the record label doesn’t get a shout out!🤣❤️

Most of the Tull community would tend to agree that the music of thick as a brick is still very serious, but the presentation in all forms was not. I think anyone who listens to thick as a brick now, probably won’t get all of the python stuff at all. Most of it comes from the newspaper and especially the live performances. Even all the way up through ‘75 the humorous elements of the band were still present.

To be fair, I kind of forced a lot of these Monty Python references because... well do I really need an excuse not to play Python clips 🤣
