Album Wars II: Beat the Champ!!! [COVER ALBUMS]

Howard the Duck · 02-07-2012, 09:02 PM

Thick as Brick is probably Jethro Tull's epochal work, even though Part 2 is mostly a recapitulation of Part 1, it's still pretty good folk-rock-prog as it goes

my criticism of Thrust still stands, too "chill" and "lounge"

so:-

Thick as a Brick - 3
Thrust - 0

Thick as a Brick........easily.

Thick as a Brick - 4

I'd never listened to the Herbie Hancock album before and hopefully I shall never have to listen to it again.......geez it was just 40 mins of painful noodling. So, without a doubt I'd sooner fall asleep with the Jethro Tull album.

Thick as a Brick - 5
Thrust - 0

I'm voting Thrust again. Thick as a Brick has a few nice moments here and there but overall I found it to be kind of a slog to get through.

Thrust - 1

TAAB is one of my favorite albums of all time, and in my opinion it rivals Close to the Edge as the greatest progressive rock album, so my vote goes to TAAB.

Thick as a Brick - 6
Thrust - 1

You did at least give a listen to Thrust though, right?

Believe me folks: I'm doing my best not to use my infinite un-mod powers to influence this battle.

In all seriousness, I enjoy Brick. I really do. But in my pantheon on Prog, it's a not regarded that highly by me. Thrust is a very good take on funk and fusion. But it wore out its welcome the second time I heard it.

I'm voting for Thrust out of principle... as futile as it may be.

Yes, but in all seriousness-- not enough, nor as much as I've listened to TAAB. I listened to "Actual Proof" a few times before voting, but I know TAAB front to back.

I'd never heard Thrust before but I do enjoy it more than Thick as a Brick, so as futile as it may be, it's on the rise....

Thrust - 3

Fancy being stuck on a desert island, with just these two albums for company
