 Thought this would be a good match up. One of Tull's best against one of Rush's best.

And yet another close one, but Aqualung takes the edge.  Now if it was between Aqualung and Farewell to Kings, then it would be a different story.

Really tough to make the call, but because I listen to it more now I'll go with Moving Pictures. 

I have listened to Aqualung tons more than Moving Pictures... maybe tomorrow I would vote for Tull?

Difficult but MP is a perfect record, Aqualung almost but not quite.

Aqualung, and it's not even vaguely close.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Aqualung.  Rush is not even in the same league as Tull.

Moving Pictures. Jethro Tull will never mean as much to me as Rush, and MP is one of their most enthralling albums. Aqualung's great from start to finish though.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Aqualung is a fantastic album. A+++. One of the greatest concept albums ever written. Brilliantly written, perfectly crafted, and superbly delivered.

But Moving Pictures is my all time #1.

The game is difficult: Different genres, different era. Anyway, I prefer Aqualung

Aqualung for me. Rush reached their peak with Hemispheres and then there was a noticeable decline in quality. I do like post-hem Rush, but it's not the same...
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
