"I may make you feel, but I can't make you think. Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink."

In an attempt to make fun of the genre of prog rock, Jethro Tull ended up accidentally making the greatest prog rock album of all time. It's like what I imagine it would sound like if Monty Python wrote a progressive rock album. Favourite tracks-wise, I'm using the named sections from the 40th anniversary edition.

Favourite Tracks: Really Don't Mind, Childhood Heroes, Tales Of Your Life, Childhood Heroes Reprise, The Poet And The Painter
