Prog Album of the Week - Week 14 (11/08/2013): Jethro Tull - Living in the Past

As always, we encourage participation from everyone - if you've never heard the album, there's a YouTube link provided! Go check it out and report back!

Welcome to the fourteenth week of r/progrockmusic's Album of the Week! Last week we discussed iamthemorning's ~ and that was lovely. If you'd like to peruse previous weeks' discussions, the threads are here:

1, 2, 3, [4] (http://www.reddit.com/r/progrockmusic/comments/1lg9vp/prog_album_of_the_week_week_4_08312013_genesis/), 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. 13.

So this is our first Greatest Hits album; however, I'm hesitant to call it a true greatest hits album because it's got some new material and it came out like 3 years after the band formed. Anyway, it's got some absolutely fantastic tunes and I think it's the best non-concept album they ever released!

####Potential Discussion Questions:

• Our first compilation album! Mostly a collection of their early singles, some live stuff and some new material! How do you think this album is a reflection of the prog-rock scene as a whole at the time?

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
