1614 - Jethro Tull Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! 1976

Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die! is the first album to include bassist John Glascock who also contributes with backing vocals. The last Jethro Tull concept album, which follows the story of Ray Lomas, an ageing rocker that found fame with the changes of musical trends. Originally intended to be a rock musical, similar to the Kinks’ Preservation Act 1 (1973), Preservation Act 2 (1974) and Schoolboys in Disgrace (1975) the story would follow an ageing and retired rock star named Ray Lomas - winning money in a "Quizz" show, trying to commit suicide and waking up years later to find out that the grease fashion has returned. Although much of the album concept is only explained in the cartoons printed in the sleeves, there are changes in the plot or in details between the cartoons and the music. The sweeping, monumental title track remains a great listen.
