Tull all the way.

Led Zeppelin was one of the bedrock bands of my youth -- probably the foundation for everything "heavy" that I grew to like later.  As popular bands in the 70s went, they were pretty much untouchable.  I like Jethro Tull a lot, but mainly just for a handful of early albums.  I like "Passion Play" better than any of Zep's albums.  But on balance, my choice is clear: Zeppelin.

OK. Tull will probably not win this, since L Z holds a very high level of popularity, but Tull's music is indeed better, not from a "Personal Taste" point of view, but on composition, orchestration, arrangements, etc.
Tull gets my vote of course, and this is from "Personal Taste" point of view, though L Z is also a great band.

Tull. Much more various, and TAAB is not even comparable with any LZ album.

Both bands started out as blues-rock bands, and both had elements of folk in their later music, but the similarities stops there, IMO.
 
My two favourite bands ever. Love both dearly, and I can't choose between them, so I went with the "both" option.

I have never been a big fan of Zeppelin apart from a couple of song (although they are growing on me with time.)

Tull is one of my favorite bands ever.

Similar early on in some respects, I guess.

Anyway, I prefer Zep by a mile.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

two bluesy. folk, heavy epic bands, that expanded and evolved rock as we know it, with progressive music, progressive rock, and heavy rock, both bands went very popular, they also shared stage at a point as Jethro warmed up for Zeppelin and Ian had said he was very jealus at Plant couse he had every thing Ian had not as a lead man,

both bands are really good who appeals to lots of people

im i the onl one who find them to have similar aproahc on the early stage??
