JT. Genesis had only six good albums imo, but Tull was consistent all the way to Catfish Rising. If Genesis would've kept up with their magicalness for another three albums, they would've won.

Genesis

I just listen to them more (often) than Jethro Tull.

80's Genesis > 80s Jethro Tull
90s Genesis < 90s Jethro Tull
LOL

Well I enjoy more sublime themes in prog songs, so I would definitely opt for Genesis. They could make such a great murky atmosphere. I prefer their songs' lyrics to half-joke Tull ones.

No contest, Genesis.

Jethro Tull for street cred and blues-based down to earth goodness......that was the original Tull, and even though it soon became The Ian Anderson band with sidemen, I still find what Ian does more interesting than Genesis, even though I always enjoy the Gabriel-era band with it's interesting sound images and stagecraft.

Genesis by a million miles. Not a big Tull fan.

Genesis.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Genesis. But if I'm out in the deep woods in front of a bonfire with a beer in my hand as I had been quite often as a young adult, then they approach parity.

Same me. Tull is not my cup of tea.

Mine either.
