ELP. They only had one stinker to their name.

Tull are one of the wonders of prog. I'll never understand why these folksters are so popular. And I tried to, honestly. ELP easily.

It would be three if 3 had recorded as ELP.

Tull for me. Both have music that I love, but Tull has more. Strangely enough, in most cases I prefer the live versions of Tull songs, while with ELP I usually prefer the studio ones.

Both Tull and ELP made excellent music. While Tull may have had a larger and longer run, I do wonder it is really makes sense to compare such unique innovators...

ELP are my favourite band and have been for about 43 years. Tull - need to listen to them more . TAAB is great and I like other albums up to about 1977. After that I don't care for what they did although ELP were not exactly tearing up trees either.

Never been that keen on ELPowell either. Love Beach would just be a mediocre album in my book. The band are still playing well but the songs are not great although For You and the first 2 parts of Memoirs are actually good as is Canario ( but I would have liked it to be a bit longer) . A Taste Of My Love is truly dreadful though and worse than anything on ITHS (even Daddy)

I like ELPowell a lot, more than when it was new. "The Score," " The Miracle," "Touch and Go" (even if the melody is borrowed, it sounds powerful as hell on synth)...great songs! I even like "Love Blind" and "Step Aside." I didn't get the CD bonus track cover of "The Loco-Motion." A loco choice!

Maybe Tull very slightly. There's probably more Tull that I enjoy than there is ELP, although I think the very best of ELP is slightly better than the best of Tull. Quite a tough one.

I liked ELP before I like Tull, but I find the folkiness of Tull more appealing nowadays and they were more consistent. But I will still go with ELP, because the albums that I do like from them have had more of a lasting impact on me. |

Jethro Tull could have called it quits half a year before ELP even debuted and I would have still preferred them. I'd have Stand Up + Benefit (and This Was) and I like every song on those better than anything I've come across by ELP (except Take a Pebble which is lovely)

Tull by a mile lol. Elp got weaker by the album and were average by the fourth. Tull have countless amount of tracks per year. Many of their best songs weren’t even on albums. Thanks to the remixes Tulls mid 70s has improved and has caught their other great early and late 70s periods. Elp were strong for 2 years only

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.

The notion of Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery being "average" albums? Say it ain't so.
