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 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. ------------- Support your Local Record store. |

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 |

The answer is simple when you consider the question. The better BAND easily would be Genesis, who individual working parts all contributed in the creating of Prog gems.Unified and working as one to create (Gabriel era/ TOTT and WAW) masterpieces. Tull, honestly speaking, as great as the music is, has always been the product of the genius of one man, Mr. Anderson himself. The better BAND, Gabriel,Hackett,Rutherford,Banks and Mr. Collins themselves. ------------- Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare if thou hast understanding? |

Yep you're right, Steve Hackett sitting in a chair,Mike Rutherford playing back in the left corner where no one could see him and Tony Banks hidding his face behind the keyboard should be comedians. Pater was pretty funny with his costumes and Ian Anderson is so serious
Don't misunderstand me, I love Tull almost as much as I love Genesis, but this is a lame argument (Sorry Raindance) both Peter Gabriel and Ian Anderson were interested in theatrics (Just look at the Heavy Horses video), both are eccentric and had a very acid sense of humour, lyrics of Tull have even more sarcasm and comedy than Genesis. And you know what? That makes them great, sense of humour mixed with talent is a wonderful combination, Chaplin used to say it was harder to make people laugh than to make people cry, and he was damn right. It's ok to like one more than the other, but please, give good reasons. Iván -------------

Exactly my case, I have each and every album released by Jethro (Including Rolling Stones Circus), almost each and every DVD by them and it's the prog' band I've seen the most (7 times) and I loved each and every concert. And I believe there's not a serius (older than 35) proghead that doesn't have most of Tull's material, but nothing compares to Genesis IMO, even when I've never been in one of their concerts (Except Invissible Touch tour which sucked) and only have bootleg DVD's from the Gabriel era.

Its interesting when we put this to a vote situation how in the Top 100 CD section Genesis is doing better than Tull yet when we ask the question directly its very even ... its just as I thought the top 100 CD`s doesn`t really show true view of things ... I mean (away from the poll a moment) Kansas Leftoverture at number 83 ? (only one of the best prog albums ever and thats not only my opinion) ... do you see my point ?

In answer to the above! It's because the system is flawed. Some members have multi-log in handles and review an album numerous times. I have noticed Genesis albums given 5 stars by the same reviewers on occasions and any albums that are a threat to their position are given low rankings. Also note how many times Genesis albums have been reviewed in comparison to many others. The more five stars an album getes the higher it will climb up the charts. There should be some some way of working out averages! That way you will see albums like Tresspass and Nursey Cryme drop out of the top twenty like led balloons. |

Don`t get me wrong I believe Selling England by the pound and Lamb lies down on Broadway deserve to be where they are .. but theres lots of great prog out there and I feel the way the system runs its being clogged by certain CD`s not deserving of being where they are ... and this poll statisticaly proves my point without a shadow of a doubt ..

To Progger, I have seen you post about this "conspiracy" way too many times, and
frankly I don't believe it!!! There are just as many Pink Floyd,
Yes, etc... fanatics that will rate an album highly. You may have
some formula to figure this out, but like I stated before, I can't
believe it and nor do I care that much (apparently you do...). However, I do think that the rating system is flawed, just not in the way that you speak of.

tull outtakes are nothing like the YES outtakes. Most of the tull outtakes are better than many of the songs on the albums they belong to and there are about 80 outtakes all together. I rank many of them among my fave tull songs. That's the reason why i made the tull site to prove the high quality of them, but not many in here believe me lol. Anyway, I think Thick as a brick and Heavy horses complete session surpass anything Genesis ever did, while Tulls 90s are better than any other 90s albums of any old band easily. I keep mentioning how the warchild outtakes make a much stronger album than the original and aqualung outtakes make a very good album, while Broadsword has 26 songs to choose from(but some arent too flash). The heavy horses and stormwatch outtakes are excellent, while Catfish outtakes are better than half the album too. Not to mention the first 3 albums outtakes are probably the best songs of those albums and many more  . If you don't have the 20th ann 3 cd box set, then you're missing out on some great tull, but there are other releases with the rare stuff too

Progger the chart works on a complicated algorithim which is pretty fair, though not perfect. And the site admins keep the reviews VERY well kept and monitored, there are no double reviews. -------------

Why don'tyou think this polls are flawed, it's easier to vote twice here than to make two reviews in two different styles, since I have memory nobody has ever accused reviewers here of being dishonest except you (And you have done it twice at least). Read the posts and yiu'll find that only 25 posters in this thread have expressed clearly their prefference for one of the two bands (in a post), and the result is
Almost the double, so using the logic is easier to believe a lot of Tull fans have voted twice, because the statistics don't lie, in a higher universe of voters, as the top 100 it's much more harder to manipulate than a small poll like this one. BTW: There's another fact, many Yes and other bands hate Genesis because it's almost as popular in Prog scenario as their favorite bands, but most Progheads like Tull and don't consider it a thread, so I'm sure that a lot of Yes fans will vote easier for Tull. Sometimes using the brain is healthy. Iván BTW: Only Stomebeard, myself, Progger and Gentle Tull have written replies in the last 60 minutes (The number of viewers of his thread reveals only 4 people have seen this thread since that moment), but suspiciously Jethro Tull has increased SEVEN votes in 30 minutes (more than 10% of the total voters in 1/2 hour and akll for Tull), Casual???? I don't think so. Statistics don't lie, a notrmal poll keeps increasing but kepping the tendency, Tull and Genesis were almost equal, but since you joined again, wow, statistics went to hell -------------

well I think plogger has a point .. and he articulates it well .. my opinion is just my opinion .. but looking at the top 100 CD`s and knowing the bulk of each bands music very well I can see many flaws that my trained ears as a long term proghead accepts as the truth and if I was to use that list as a source of buying music my CD collection wouldn`t be reprosented in reality as a bona fide best 100 CD`s ever and ceretainly not in that order ! Tull have 1 CD in the Top ten .. genesis have three in the Top Ten by that rule of thumb Genesis should have 3 times as many votes in this poll .. in my opinion ... but they don`t infact last I checked Tull was in front .. the system is flawed !!!

I agree with Ivan, the polls are WAY more flawed than the reviews. I
haven't voted on this poll yet (my vote would go to Genesis though...),
so I don't know if it allows multiple votes, but I'm assuming it
does...and a lot of polls are!!!

| C'mon Ivan, you seem an intelligent bloke but don't let your devotion to Genesis blind you of the facts! Firstly, not everyone who votes in a poll will add a comment. Secondly, Genesis albums have had more reviews than there are contributors to this website. Multi login handles being the reason. Genesis fans have too much time on their hands! |

Still do not agree with you!!! I'm not even a hardcore Genesis
fan. Also, a lot of polls do allow multiple votes, like I said, I
didn't know if this one did, but apparently it doesn't...IMO polls are
still more flawed than reviews, votes are NOT filtered or accurately
cast in polls some of the time.

1.- Statistics don't lie if more people write about a band it's normal that more people are interested in them. A tendencie to a tie can't change in 30 minutes with no new readers reported cassually when you rejoin 2.- If you log out and log in again you can vote twice in this poll and everybody knows that 3.- So Genesis fans have more times in their hands?? So you even kbnow how many hours I have to work, do you know the rest of the Genesis fans to affirm that? Don't be silly. 4.- As someone said before, the Adms have a feature that allows them to delete two reviews or votes made by the same user even if they change their nick, they use it always in the reviews section vbecause it's important for them, but I'm sure that they don'tgive a damn for this silly polls.

I own the three, even made a review about Benefit (Something I never do without owning an album) and wrote several posts about This Was and Stand Up, as I told you I have every official album released by Jethro Tull (Every LP and every CD in the form of single or double album). What I don't own are one or two Box sets (Two are enough for me 20 and 25 Aniv) and EP's, which I usually don't care about. Well, Good night, it may be 12:00 am in Australia but is 2:00 am here.

Seriously you have missed the point ... Statisticaly when looking at the votes per band Tull is looking like they are leading .. Yet the top 100 CD`s doesn`t suggest this to be the case ... This poll shows us how flawed the top 100 really is (thats partly why I ran this poll to investigate the situation because I strongly despute the data thats being told to us)

Interesting pole. Jethro Tull are a hard band to judge because they released so many songs scattered all over the place. Genesis was always my favorite band back in the 70s and Jethro were maybe in my top 3 or 4 bands behind YES and Floyd. But things have changed since I have updated my vinyl albums to cd over the last 2 years. I am discovering an enormous amount of Jethro songs from the recent remasters that I had never heard before and I'm loving them hugely. I had the first 15 vinyl albums of both bands and now I have them all on cd thanks to the christmas just gone. I haven't got any jethro or genesis album after 1984. Genesis have remained number one, but Jethro have lifted 2 notches to be my second favorite band. I never had LITP from 1972 until yesterday and by golly I see what I was missing, plus all the other remasters. I feel that I have discovered 3 classic albums from the past. I'll vote genesis for now, but my vote may change when I finish off the collections of both bands soon. |

But if you want to believe we all are corrupt (As Progger repeteadly said) then why are you all loosing their time in a corrupt forum? BTW: Nothing is being sold to us, everything is provided for free by the owners, and I believe we should thank mailto:M@x - M@x and Prog Lucky for that. It's easy to talk when you don't help the forum to work, some of us do it for hours each day (Adding reviews and biographies, others administrating and moderating) and only for love to the genre.

Anyways, I've heard more than once, not only from this thread, that certain Tull outtakes are better than acertain album tracks. This may be true, and I may end up wanting to get them, but I still do not think they will sway me enough to change the firm position I hold now. Another couple of things:

| The bonus tracks swayed me so much it's not funny. I once had the original albums of Aqualung, Warchild and Broadsword on cd. I thought Aqualung was good and the other 2 only half decent. I didn't think alot of the band then. But over time I realised there was 8 aqualung, 9 warchild and 16 broadsword bonus tracks. These are like 3 albums and Warchild is easily beaten by the bonus tracks. The bonus stuff is heavy and exciting stuff. They are very similar to Aqualung. The broadsword bonus tracks also contain some great stuff, same with aqualung. The band became twice as good just from the 3 years alone. But there are tones of other excellent extras on many albums, which really make any tull fan stronger. There are 3 or 4 bonus tracls on each of the fisrt 3 albums and the best couple of songs from each of those 3 albums are the bonus tracks. How can you leave off classic like teacher, witches promise, living in the past, sweet dream, love story, xmas song and more. Crazy ;). Same with Stormwatch, Horses, SFTW, Minstrel, Too old. How can you leave off songs like strip cartoon, beltane, king henrys madrigal, crossword, kelpie, blues instrumental, a stitch in time and more. These songs are great. I can make Catfish sound better than roots by adding bonus tracks and deleting some other tracks. There are more too |

hmmm.... well boring is a epitaph that will never be attached to Tull. Edge to Tull in my eyes for Thick as a Brick alone. Throw in Passion Play and others. Tull all the way. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I'm thinking that the YES fans are voting here to fell GENESIS. Because JT is a joke. This band have only 2 good albuns (Aqualung & TAAB). The rest is ...

u havent heard much tull if u think aqualung is among the best 2 albums lol. The full sessions of heavy horses, stormwatch and dotcom are all better than the original Aqualung album. The warchild outtakes, Songs from the wood, A are as good as the original Aqualung album. The full Benefit, Broadsword, Catfish sessions are as good as the original Aqualung album. When I say full session, I don't mean an original album such as Heavy Horses. I mean the original album plus another 6 or 7 songs included which are among the best songs from the whole session. I think you need to do some research Herbie |

Actually, JT's material and shows were nor precisely a world apart from comedy: Monty Python was an obvious visual reference for both bands on stage in the early 70s. Well, JT bore that MP influence for even longer. Oh, by the way, I voted for JT since their material has been more consistent in terms of progressive interest and musical quality. |

Well, I sometimes like Jethro Tull, but for me they are nothing stunning, so my vote goes to genesis! -------------

Tull. Definately Tull. Genesis tends to get old sort of fast. |

It is very interesting to notice that when the BIG 6 are listed together (see another topic), Genesis has 3 times more votes than Jethro Tull. But when Genesis and Tull are face-to-face, Tull wins. The reasons may be:

Tull
In fact, Genesis used to be my favourite band until I discovered Jethro Tull. I have never been disappointed in a Tull Album. This is taking the whole of both their long careers into consideration. ------------- From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.--Napoleon Bonaparte |

GENESIS They are the ultimate prog rock band for me. Every thing they done between 1970 and 1980 was brilliant IMO. No other bands music has touched me so profoundly, with the possible exception of Rush, but they are not a 'pure' prog band. I do like Tull as well. TAAB, and Songs from the Wood are my top Tull albums, but they aint a patch on Gabriel or Collin's Genesis.. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Jethro Tull was one of the most popular bands of the 1970s. I remember the Aqualung album being so over-played. It was played as much as Dark Side of the Moon. Jethro Tull does have the distinction of being the only prog band to release an album every year throughout the classic British prog rock period. 1968-1980. Every album is at least 'good' and has a hit song on it. (Maybe not something that you would hear on the radio, but something that would end up on a greatest hits collection.) Ian Anderson still ato put out an album every other year after that; it's pretty impressive. |
