What a surprise, TaaB makes 2nd place

Well look at the score the albums has got, over 200 votes and a 4.70 approx score. I think it will sooner or later be at the top spot.

I think it's pretty easy to see why... some people don't rate albums like Selling England, Dark Side of the Moon, or obviously Brain Salad Surgery as high because of small little things like 'Benny the Bouncer' or 'I Know What I Like' whereas Thick as a Brick is just one continuous excellent piece and therefore a lot people can rant on about how consistent it is etc.

For me it is nothing stunningly original but it's a great work none the less. I think it's top 10 material, but maybe not top 5.

What do you guys think?

Haha, that was sarcastic my man

It's a lock for #1... seriously ... have you  EVER met someone who DIDN'T like Jethro Tull hahahhahah.

Yes, my mother, she always says 'Ah that mad fella', as you can tell, she thinks Jethro Tull is one person, guess which one.

I don't think TaaB has the same impact as CttE or FOXTROT, it doesn't reach the same heights, but it is a stunner.

  I hate to rank albuns ... it is impossible to rank them logically... example: (this is only my opnion)

  Can I say that Thick as a Brick is better than The Dark Side or the opposite ?? no.

  Can I say that Selling England by the Pound is better than The dark SIde ?? no.

  But if I compare Thick as a Brick with Selling England by the Pound i will find Selling England by the Pound quite better .

  But The dark Side of the Moon is as good as Selling England by the Pound and in my mind it is still not better than Thick as a Brick.

  As you can see there is a lack of logic in the whole thing. And if I continue ranking , in the end everything will be so confusig ...

 So, I gave up ranking XD ahahah

What do you guys think? no surprise.... based on the uniformly high ratings...high ratings  in spite of the  absence of the 'Jethro Tull Lovefest society' hahahha.

Micky, you didn't notice we were brewing?
