ermmm.. Those Jethro Tull albums 'Stand up' & 'Benefit' are actually pretty straight blues albums, how on earth can u think of em as prog ??. The only things they did I would consider Prog are prolly the two concept albums 'Passion Play' & 'Thick as a Brick'. And as for manifesting a folk influence, well thats only two albums worth of material as well 'Songs from the wood' & 'Heavy horses'.
Btw : I think Tull r complete shite except for 'Stand up' & 'Benefit' and well.. I suppose you've got to give a sorta thumbs up at the B side of the 'Minstrel in the gallery' album, I just know way, way, way too much about them. Have u heard them recently ? FFS, they've turned into Dire Straits.
