Genesis, they were way more consistent than Jethro Tull. Even when they were playing pop music they were still one of the greatest bands in that genre at the time.

Two years back, when my TAAB love ran really high, I would have found it a tough vote. Not anymore.  Genesis.  I still love Tull's music so very much, though.

Hell, I don't know.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I love both but i'd have to go with Genesis, they had much more quality in depth...

Tull
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Chalk and cheese really, but I'd rather listen to Genesis any day of the week.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Gave up? Or Phil just realized money was more important to him than making good music? I think had this been a forum of Peter Gabriel Genesis and Solo vs Jethro Tull, it would have been a very hard decision because after leaving Genesis he was still making great albums. Genesis just had two after that then switched to pop.

For me it would have to be Tull! Genesis was a great band, but they have not come up with enough albums that are on the same Level as Tull for me to vote for them. Passion Play is definitely one of the greatest most under appreciated concept albums to ever come out.

Genesis masterpieces are from Tresspas to LAmb, and though no Genesis album can beat APP,  I'll vote Genesis.
Clap
I prefer TAAB to any Genesis album but in general I prefer Genesis) 
And now I vote for JT because Genesis will win in any case and JT deserve more votes)
Would you catch the final words of mine?

Voted for Tull because real Genesis, of course I mean that great Gabriel era, was too short.

Genesis has 7 classic albums which to me are between 4.5 to 5 stars, while JT has only 3 (Minstrel In The Gallery, TAAB and Aqualung, in that order). Genesis wins.

Tull for I find them more consistant. Sure they had some slip ups, but even their late stuff is enjoyable at least somewhat, while Genesis' late stuff was pure rubbish.

I can only stand to listen to one side of a Tull album at the time while I can listen to a couple of Genesis albums in a row.
But somehow I like Tull a bit better. Very strange, can't explain why.
