That's fine Gene, and I'm not trying to disagree, just offering opinion. But Jethro Tull have delved into folk rock, it would be wrong to classify them as only that! Fairport, Steeleye, Albion (with or without John Tams, Charlotte!),Oysterband, etc, those are your folk rock bands. On that previous post you made it seem as though you were saying that some obvious folk or trad performers, like MacColl were only "folk" when they used a recognized folk melody. Thats what got me scratching my head
