Tull in my opinion are as good as Genesis overall so voting on this one was hard to do

Ooh this is a tough one.
I like Gabriel Genesis slightly better, though Thick as a Brick is my favorite album.
But then, we must also include the horrible years of Phil Collins.
Jethro Tull never turned pop.
I think I'm voting Jethro because I believe they will be the underdog.
It's a tie for me though.

I never liked Tull quite as much, the Collins era Genesis kinda gets overpowered by the brilliance of Firth of Fifth!
I'm going with Genesis!

I think Genesis is a bit better, but I've only heard a few Tull albums.

Genesis was able to keep their standards up for more years.

personally, Genesis by a country mile, but that's because I've never really been able to get into Tull....

Genesis.
JT is an excellent band too, but they are more uneven.

Tull. Their trilogy Aqualung/TAAB/APP is better than any other Genesis album.
PS: I'm not a great fan for any of these groups, but have all their classic material.

I would say Genesis, but you were not specific on which era of Genesis. If
you include the post-peter gabriel albums, Jethro Tull looks a lot better.

1968-1980
if u rate the bands just from their original albums, not including compliations such as living in the past etc. I think it is about a draw or tull may just win because they have recorded more albums. But if you gather every song both bands recorded in that period, Tull definately win because they have 3 or 4 albums worth of strong bonus material in the period alone. Tull also win easily from 1981 onwards because of the albums plus yest another 2 cd's of strong bonus material

Jethro Tull for me. Gabriel era Genesis were too comical for me though they had their moments of excellence.

Jethro Tull, for me (by far!) even though I love Genesis a lot (SEbtP and W&W in particular  !!)
