Jethro Tull
Since you mentioned "Stand Up" it occurs to me that "Benefit" is at least as deserving--although part of this may be that the latter album, by that time nearly a year old, formed part of the soundtrack of my abortive but fondly-remembered freshman year in college, 1970-71. I have it on CD, but play it only seldom, not wishing to attenuate its extraordinarily evocative power.
cordially,
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

Re: Jethro Tull
Benefit is right up there, laying in the second part of the trifecta of Stand Up, Benefit and Aqualung.

Make no mistake, "Songs of the Wood" is good stuff.
But if you want to see that genre (what you interestingly called "medieval folk") done up right, find yourself a copy of Steeleye Span's "Below the Salt" or "All Around my Hat"
Marvelous!

You're thinking of Steely Dan.

Hey don't feel bad...
...Made the same mistake myself.
And you should have heard the self-righteous "corrections" I got over the phone when I was playing their stuff on the air.

I think it was Steeleye
I have Below the Salt somewhere, with the "big black CDs" that I can't conveniently play at this point. And it is Steeleye Span. Medievalish folk. Very nice.
