Love them both equally.
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

Lol kidding, of course. I love Zep but hate that track
It sounds like a real flute to me, but I might be mistaken, of course.
When played live it was a mellotron, in the studio it was likely JPJ on a recorder using multiple tracks.

Aw man! I can't out-trivia you in this thread I suppose...

Three guesses as to who I'd vote for and the first two don't count.

Hammer of the gods vs the inventor of the automatic seeding machine in the 18th century.  I will go with the agricultural icon.

Led Zep—grooves harder, better players, folk instruments used more convincingly
Tull— Thick as a Brick

Jethro Tull, no contest!LOL

In all seriousness, though, Tull— more melodic, influences more diverse, better vocalist, better stage theatrics, more innovative. Led Zep was still great, though.

I've seen both live, LZ during Houses of the Holy and JT during their War Child tour. Both great live, both have great catalogs. 

Coin flip once again.

I saw Led Zeppelin once in 1977.  Great show, but a bit scattered - similar in quality to their performance on Celebration Day.  Not bad, but there was plenty of room for improvement.  They started in the afternoon and, as Plant said, they weren't quite awake yet.  I have seen Tull a dozen times and they were always spot on except for once, and that was the second performance of the tour.

This is an interesting question, since these two were probably the biggest concert attractions of the 1970s. For me, it's a matter of personal preference; Tull were professionals, and Zeppelin rock stars. I prefer Tull's approach.

Thick as a brick surpasses all of Zeppelin's work.  Jethro Tull for me!!

Tull.
Zep is good for a non-Prog band, but Tull is Prog.
Plus, there's no band better to listen to with a beer in your hand than Tull.

They're both great, but I'd go with Tull since there's more diversity.

I prefer Jethro to Zep but not a particular fan of either.

I would choose each of Zep's first six albums ahead of any JTull disc. In Through the Out Door, however, ranks far below all of Tull's work. IMHO.

I would agree with the In Through The Out door being a sub par Zep lp and Coda was merely an afterthought .
But imo Tull's early lp's: Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, Thick as A Brick ..are as good as any of the Zep's early  lp's.
They are so different in style that it's hard  to compare them straight up.
