Well...it is a prog site after all.

It is all subjective. Led Zep or Tull would fare horribly on a Justin Bieber or One Directiion site.

I don't think there are such sites that actually would do such a comparison......are there?
And do they even matter?

Zeppelin has a few really great songs that haven't dulled for me in the slightest with time. Tull is talented, but overall I don't really like them. Going with Zep.

Zeps were too rock n roll influenced. Their compositions were no match for the classically and occasionally jazz influenced tull. Plus plants vocals were pretty average when he started screaming with his squealing breathless voice

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Tough choice. I'll go with both because I definitely enjoy both, and I don't know if I could pick bewteen the two.

Tull for me. Both were able to put together albums with great hard rock songs, but Tull had the ability to compose complex pieces of music not just build a song around a great guitar riff. Saw both live in the 70's (Tull '76 '77 '78 '79, Zep '77) and there was no comparison...Zep was just 4 super talented guys playing rock, Tull was a circus of insanity!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
