>'Stand up' & 'Benefit' are actually pretty straight blues albums.

Wouldn't say they were straight blues albums. Very blues influenced yeah, but I'd say they had a bit of a proggy feel about them in places... Yeah, Thick as a Brick is probably the most proggy of them. Not holding them up as typical prog rock albums, just worth listening to.

Agreed.... the live version of Dharma for One on Living in the Past is great.

>And as for manifesting a folk influence, well thats only two albums worth of material as >well 'Songs from the wood' & 'Heavy horses'

Well, I'd say there's a bit more of an influence than that... Aqualung has some pretty folky moments, as does Minstrel in the Gallery amongst others. They tried to go a bit New Wave in the late 70's/early 80's on 'A' which was just awful.

>Have u heard them recently ? FFS, they've turned into Dire Straits.

Nope... I've not heard anything they've done since about 1988. I'm not a huge Jethro Tull fan myself... just like their first few albums.
