For the record I like Tull and Frank very much

Yes I consider Tull’s This Was and Stand Up to be eccentric

Fairport Convention with more heavy guitar and Ian’s flute

Aqualung really set the path

Benefit and Aqualung and TAAB and Living in the Past and his Christmas album and Songs from the Wood are all favorites of anyone who likes heavy guitar riffs and a flute set to a Lancaster versus York backdrop

Wait a minute!!!

I just realized Pelham slammed me, here! :D

“Jethro Tull eccentric? Well he’s one of Salamander’s all time favorites, so probably so....”

Catfish Rising is another epic album and the Twenty Years Of Jethro Tull compilation contains many great songs that never made it to albums.

FWIW, I even bought all his solo stuff.

Walk Into Light is a spooky but awesome album.
“Divinities: Twelve Dances With God” is an instrumental tour de force.

“A” is another under appreciated one.

Well, this is apropos

Same here. My favorite is his cover of "Ain't Misbehavin'".

I listen to some Leon every weekend. A one of a kind. RIP.

I didn't see this song posted, and I meant to post it the other day.
