Tull for I find them more consistant. Sure they had some slip ups, but even their late stuff is enjoyable at least somewhat, while Genesis' late stuff was pure rubbish.

Genesis has 7 classic albums which to me are between 4.5 to 5 stars, while JT has only 3 (Minstrel In The Gallery, TAAB and Aqualung, in that order). Genesis wins.

(I don't like the composition style of Jethro Tull very much...)

Voted for Tull because real Genesis, of course I mean that great Gabriel era, was too short.

Genesis masterpieces are from Tresspas to LAmb, and though no Genesis album can beat APP, I'll vote Genesis.

I prefer TAAB to any Genesis album but in general I prefer Genesis) And now I vote for JT because Genesis will win in any case and JT deserve more votes)

For me it would have to be Tull! Genesis was a great band, but they have not come up with enough albums that are on the same Level as Tull for me to vote for them. Passion Play is definitely one of the greatest most under appreciated concept albums to ever come out.

Genesis but only the early stuff
Tull continued to release prog albums way after Genesis gave up

Gave up? Or Phil just realized money was more important to him than making good music? I think had this been a forum of Peter Gabriel Genesis and Solo vs Jethro Tull, it would have been a very hard decision because after leaving Genesis he was still making great albums. Genesis just had two after that then switched to pop.

Chalk and cheese really, but I'd rather listen to Genesis any day of the week.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I love both but i'd have to go with Genesis, they had much more quality in depth...

Two years back, when my TAAB love ran really high, I would have found it a tough vote. Not anymore. Genesis. I still love Tull's music so very much, though.

Genesis, they were way more consistent than Jethro Tull. Even when they were playing pop music they were still one of the greatest bands in that genre at the time.

Tull. Their 12 original releases, from This Was to Storm Watch, far outweigh the output of Genesis, particularly the relatively short period when they actually cared about their music.
