TAAB

Closer than Echoes - but Gerald 'Little Milton' Bostock still wins for me! Thick As A Brick! "So, where the hell was Biggles, when you needed him last Sunday?" against "Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed." No contest!  (only joking, Jon!)

Too close to choose. Specially if I consider the Bursting Out version of Thick as a Brick. They are both just sublime.

Don't really see how the two are comparable, really. And one is its band's colossal statement and triumph!

83 times.......you actually counted..?
LOL................ |
I was exaggerating. A little. However, I seem to remember the word "Glad" comes up 124 times in Cream's "I'm So Glad". And yes, one did strange things back in the day on hallucinogenics.
