Oh!

Aqualung! Loved that. Also, the White Album.

Fun Fact: the lead singer of Jethro Tull is Andrew Lincoln's father-in-law. (Andrew Lincoln = Rick Grimes from Walking Dead).

Tsk, tsk.
He's not 'the lead singer of Jethro Tull', he's Ian Anderson and the only decent rock flautist!!!

I love me some Tales, but the first 3 1/2 minutes of The Ancient make it imperfect, IMHO.

FTR (see what I did there?) I had no concept of an album at all when I was a teen.
Because I didn't have a private music source, so the best I could hope for was listening to one side of the record or cassette.
I knew albums in half, and was always most familiar with the first half. When I was in a position to listen to the whole album it was so tricky to skip tracks that the songs which didn't appeal immediately couldn't help but grow onI me.

Even so, my most perfect album is Crowded House's Woodface.

Oh no, I love me some Queen. My brother had News of the World, and I loved "All Dead All Dead" and "Sheer Heart Attack" and "Get Down Make Love."

Really, Queen is one of my all time favorites.

Nobody shuts off the car when Bohemian Rhapsody is playing, nobody.

Our relationship with Queen is weird. One the one hand, yes, they are played at ball games and karaoke, and Bohemian Rhapsody is still strongly associated with the scene from Wayne's World. On the other hand, Freddie Mercury is widely acknowledged as a genius. Queen is light relief and deeply moving, somehow.

Plus Freddy was so out of the closet, Real Men TM were dismissive around their buddies, and only grooved on Queen while hiding in the closet.

I'm kidding, but seriously, I know a couple guys who were really heavy into music, one a pro musician, who are so homophobic they just couldn't get into Queen.

Couldn't separate Freddy and the music. Thinking about it, I guess you can't separate Freddy and Queen's music.

I didn't know. The guy was a prancer, had the biggest lisp of any gay person, named the band "Queen" and I still didn't know. Until like 1985. I'm fairly certain that my fellow 70s teens didn't know either. They would have said something.

But he's still on the Mount Rushmore of greatest lead singers ever.
