Without any doubt, in terms of both composition and performance, one of the few greatest bands of the entire 20th century. I'm not sure how much of that greatness we can pin specifically on Mich Abrahams, but he was part of it, nonetheless.

My older brother came to visit me once about 25 years ago, and I told him where the key was because we weren't home from a trip yet. When I got home he was listening to Jethro Tull's greatest hits CD and told me "This really is a great CD and that it brought back a lot of memories."
