I liked ELP before I like Tull, but I find the folkiness of Tull more appealing nowadays and they were more consistent.  But I will still go with ELP, because the albums that I do like from them have had more of a lasting impact on me.

I don't consider those last two - they were merely forced reunion sing-a-alongs. But as to your point, ya' got me.

Maybe Tull very slightly. There's probably more Tull that I enjoy than there is ELP, although I think the very best of ELP is slightly better than the best of Tull. Quite a tough one.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I like ELPowell a lot, more than when it was new. "The Score," " The Miracle," "Touch and Go" (even if the melody is borrowed, it sounds powerful as hell on synth)...great songs! I even like "Love Blind" and "Step Aside."

I didn't get the CD bonus track cover of "The Loco-Motion." A loco choice! Confused

It would be three if 3 had recorded as ELP.

ELP are my favourite band and have been for about 43 years.
Tull - need to listen to them more . TAAB is great and I like other albums up to about 1977. After that I don't care for what they did although ELP were not exactly tearing up trees either.

Both Tull and ELP made excellent music. While Tull may have had a larger and longer run, I do wonder it is really makes sense to compare such unique innovators...

Tull for me. Both have music that I love, but Tull has more. Strangely enough, in most cases I prefer the live versions of Tull songs, while with ELP I usually prefer the studio ones.

Tull are one of the wonders of prog. I'll never understand why these folksters are so popular. And I tried to, honestly.
ELP easily.

I've heard a few Tull songs on classic rock radio and they were pretty good, but come on ELP is all time classic prog. Slam dunk vote here.
