Some of their stuff was similar but each was still very much their own band. Which do you prefer?

I love Gentle Giant and listen to them a lot. Even more lately for some reason. But they're never going to top Tull in my mind.

Tull, and it's not even vaguely close.

This is hard but I'll give the edge to Gentle Giant, more great albums so I listen to them more

TULL! GG would have never come up with Songs From The Wood. That is all.

As the question is 'which do you prefer' I have to answer Jethro Tull

Would it have made a difference if I asked "which band is the best?"

Sorry, of course that didn't need to be said. If the question was which band is best, MY answer would have been 'both, equally'.

^You still could have chosen both since I had that option. To me "prefer" means you think one band is better than the other.

the only things either group did worth a sh*t were each's first 4 albums.. and as much as I love those GG albums.. they pale to what Tull did before they became .... Dull.

Haha, no way! Tull's folk trilogy (SFTW, HH, Stormwatch ca. '77-'79), plus MITG (8th album, '75) are TOPS!

I love GG (at least everything up to and including Interview) but they never released an album that approached anywhere near the complete masterpiece of Passion Play or Brick which are just on another level. Vote for Tull.

damn.. captcha is a bitch in heat tonight and she wants her some big mick...
hah... absolute crap and best expressed by the inimitable and lighthearted Philippe http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=116250 God I miss him.. always a barrel of laughs and author of the greatest (attempted) insult ever on this site. Of course he was trying to insult me when I had pissed him off once...

Evidently, Phillippe had the musical perception of a blood-engorged tick. And his preference for teutonic folk like Ougenweide would probably fit well in the making of cheese. You sit and wait for the milk to curdle.
