Genesis or Jethro Tull? It's difficult choise to me. Insoluble choise. I love both of them.

Well, perhaps I should do a poll of Echoes vs CttE and another vs SR, just to see how the results work separatley. One between CttE and SR must be rather unecessary, I guess there must be many of them and one might just need to find them. |

One Pink to rule them all.
One Pink to find them. One Pink to bring them all And with their Floydness bind them.

yes I think but have misidentified the parties. It is not symphonic against S.R. but fans of Floyd, against Yes fan, against the bobbleheads. Yes men love Yes for very specific reasons.. reasons that you hardly ever find in Genesis music. Conversely much of what I suppose bobbleheads enjoy Genesis you don't really find in Yes. What is and is not symphonic really means nothing. Yes were really not a symphonic band anyway. They had one album one could fit into that camp... the rest.. including the CTTE track.. were nothing more that creative done.. progressive pop. It was the first and only 18 minute long pop song using traditional pop song structure.. intro/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/middle8/instrumental-break/verse/chorus/outro format just elogated and more fully developed that one can in a 3 minute long pop song. Take one out, aliances shift. I voted CttE of course, minus that, Echoes is far superior to Supper's Ready. I think if one voted for Supper's Ready that is prone to put you sleep than excite you and make you want to go the woodshed and play till your hands bleed... do you think they are voting for Close to the Edge.. they vote Floyd. |

Pitting 2 symph prog tracks against just the one space rock track could have split the vote on the symph side? (I'm theorising that the space rock fans voted for Echoes en masse). Political and music polls are not so different

My 1971 strong tracks from both bands
Tull-aqualung, wondring aloud, cross eyed Mary, mother goose, cheap day return, up to me, for later, up the pool, life is a long song, hymn 43(quad version), dr bogenbroom, wondring again Genesis-return of the giant hogweed, fountain of Salmacis, for absent friends Tull wins 12-3 in 1971 |
|||||||
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.

Just like Focus - Hocus Pocus is most popular, mine favorite of theirs is Eruption. Thick as a brick happens to be most popular, however one of my ultimate favorites of Tull is Jethro Tull - Aqualung Live 1980 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I58oeTvgNU

I have not voted here because I love both, say what you want you will this popular song is the obvious track that sealed Tull in history forever. Jethro Tull - Thick as a brick - live here - 1978 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV-ASc0qkrM

Don't worry, Pink Floyd can hold their own very well against any of the bands on this site. They can beat just about anyone, or at least give a very good fight, Gilmour can have a very good round against any guitar player, even beat most of them (including Fripp himself), and I just did a poll with the two most competitive songs on the site, according to numerous polls I've seen (Close to the Edge and Supper's Ready) against Echoes from Pink Floyd... and so far Echoes is winning (even though CttE is getting very near). |

Yeah, I really hate Battle of Epping Forest a lot too... just the song that ruins Selling England for me. Also Benny the Bouncer, but from that album I also don't particularly like Atack of the Giant Hogweed, and Fountain of Salmacis I half like and half dislike. About Watcher of the Skies, I also half like it and half dislike it... but there's the live version by Hackett on Tokyo Tapes, with Wetton on vocals, which I really love... the singing and whole playing just sounds so much warmer and natural. Can Utility I do like, but also I like better the version on Genesis Revisited... and from Lamb, well there are some nice songs, but mostly I feel they lost their magic on this album. I might add also The Lamia, which doesn't completley convince me on the album, I also like much better on Genesis Revisited. |

We all love both bands As a fact have all Jethro albums and not remotely all Genesis (After Hackett left, I only bought ATTW3). |

I love both bands, to be honest. I am thankful both of them contributed in a big way to my taste in moozik.
Now let's group hug

Well, Jethro Tull was a Blues band until 1969 - 1970, never saw them as a folk or celtic band, rather than a Blues band that also played Folk (among other genres) You can check the net, many agree with my opinion about Strawbs
Of course I agree with you, as a fact, GENESIS was the most unpopular big Prog band during the Symphonic golden era. While YES, ELP, KING CRIMSON played in front of crowds, GENESIS had to shorten the Lamb tour because they couldn't sell tickets, and wasn't even filmed. Their first three albums were extremely unpopular except in Italy and Belgium, their first remotely popular album was SEBTP because of "I Know What I Like" which reached N° 17°....Most Prog Genesis albums were Gold certified only after years (If I'm not wrong, only The Lamb had Gold certification in the 70's). They got real attention (In comparison with the other big 5) after the prog formation split...They have aged well unlike other bands. You know I can't care less about popularity or lack of it, I love Pink Floyd who have two of the best sold albums in history and Love Genesis who were really unpopular |

Best song on England is Epping forest. Lots a cool melodies. Firth is a bit over dramatic and depressing. It would sit well on dark side of the moon. Moonlit starts boring but livens up well. Cinema starts with cringe worthy lyrics but is a nice song. Gabriel's voice, lyrics and outfits got worse each album. He's a bit unbearable on the lamb. His 80s stuff sucks

Then why do you talk about disrespect? BTW: Strawbs are considered a Celtic Prog band by every Prog site. Their roots are based in Celtic Folk
