i love Jethro Tull, along with Rush it's my favorite prog band ever.

the best albums... Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, A Passion Play, Minstrel In The Gallery, Stormwatch.... these are my absolute favorite but i love most of their stuff really even Under Wraps.

I saw Songs from the Wood in the prog archives top 100 recently. Broadsword is excellent although probably not interesting for traditional proggers. My favourite is Crest of a Knave.

With Thick as a Brick, I am wondering were Tull the first prog band to put one song on a whole album or did some other band get the idea first?

Tull were still making good albums in the 80's, in moast cases better than Genesis or Yes. It's quite refreshing to hear someone say 'Crest of a Knave' is their favourite, because Broadsword is among mine. The style is obviously very different to that on their old 'classic albums' but they are of equal quality IMO.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The album cover of Broadsword and The Beast is one off my
faves. Better than the album itself by my opinion.
I like everything from "This was" to "Stormwatch" and some
newer material. "Bursting out" is a great live.
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away.

Agreed. Bursting Out is a fantastic live album. This is probably the best band line-up of Tull.
