I'm with you all the way, Charzo!
Loved the first album "This Was" which included Mick Abrams who left the group due to an artistic direction dispute with Ian Anderson. He formed Blodwyn Pig (remember "Dear Jill") to continue the blusey sound.
"Stand Up" in my humble opinion is the album which defines the Jethro Tull sound. Their masterpiece. "Benefit" was good.
"Aqualung" was a pretentious piece of bombast which became their best-seller. I, too, saw them at the Fillmore East. Wow!
