There are three albums that once I start listening to, I will not stop, nor react in a friendly manner if interrupted till they are over. One is Karn Evil 9 by ELP, the second is Thick as Brick by Jethro Tull and the other is Tubular Bells.
PS: Honorable mention to Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Rick Wakeman.
Rare Earth, Double Live! Aka the backpack album. Recorded live in the Everglades, this is Rare Earth at it’s best. Every song, out of the park.
I think you mean Brain Salad Surgery which is the name of the album that the tracks “Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression—Part 1,” “ Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression—Part 2,” “Karn Evil 9: 2nd Impression,” and “ Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression” all appear.
Minus one hundred prog rock snob points to House Iguana. Do better next time Miguel.
Tubular Bells was a great album to test stereo gear out on, back in the day when everyone bought huge stereos. I loved it, myself, but love Oldfield’s second album Hergest Ridge even more. I wore out my LP copy of that one.
