Jethro Tull's Aqualung (1971)

- is one of the band's most iconic albums, often regarded as a cornerstone of progressive rock. The album, spearheaded by frontman Ian Anderson, is known for its powerful mix of acoustic and hard rock elements, intricate compositions, and thought-provoking lyrics.

Ian Anderson, the band's flutist, vocalist, and primary songwriter, played a crucial role in shaping Aqualung's themes and sound. The album explores topics such as homelessness (the title track "Aqualung"), religion ("My God," "Hymn 43"), and existential struggles.

"Cross-Eyed Mary" – A dynamic song with an eerie flute introduction and heavy guitar.

"Locomotive Breath" – One of Jethro Tull’s most famous songs, featuring a driving rhythm and powerful commentary on modern life.

"My God" – A scathing critique of organized religion, highlighted by Anderson's dramatic flute solo.
