Tull because ELP never made a near perfect album like Thick as a Brick

Tull. A much longer stretch of good albums.

Tull...
He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore

Tull at their best (Stand Up thru Passion Play) beats ELP but otherwise I’m leaning toward ELP because there’s lots of Tull albums I find hard to get through. And yes, I also think Love Beach is hard to get through.

Tarkus and Passion Play are 2 of my favorite classic-era prog albums so no slight meant to either band.

I like Jethro Tull, specially when they play music more folk/blues than prog.

In my opinion, 

Aqualung  > Songs From The Wood  > Thick As A Brick.

ELP.
Like Tull and probably play them more these days.
Listened to those classic ELPs so many times, that I don't find the need really to play them as often any more.
Shake & bake.

Classic ELP: First album, Tarkus, Trilogy, Brain Salad Surgery (four albums)

Classic Jethro Tull: Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Minstrel in the Gallery, Songs from the Wood (there's also a few other really good ones but those seem to be their best by most accounts).

I think Tull has a better track record with more "good" albums but that's mainly because they recorded a lot more.

Up to the first 4 albums by ELP I like them about the same but after that imo Tull runs away with it.
So I guess Tull for the win.

^ Yea, I thought this was a good match up, you can make an argument for either band.

I voted "both equally" because although historically ELP were in my top ten I think JT were just as good and just as important but both had some really great music and ultimately it's difficult for me to chose one over the other. I might lean slightly more towards Tull these days but voted for both anyway. Thanks for having that option. ;)

Tull, simply because of Martin Barre.
