May the forces of fate and God almighty provide us the answer to this most difficult of questions.

Despite that Oily Way is the better song, it also has the better flute intro (at least when subject to rule in the land of me).

I thought the flute pole was a new pagan ritual.Cry

ringed by ants and musing over man.

Why is Tull ALWAYS defined by the flute? (shakes head in shame)

Anyways, Cross Eyed Mary is the most awesometastic song of all time, and I've never heard that other, crappier song, so I'll go with Jethro.

Wow, close pole. Cross-Eyed Mary is one of my favorite Tull songs, and I had to go find Gong in the archives to hear their song, so that is a pretty easy poll for me.

I won't vote, because I haven't heard that Gong track, but I'd like it to be known that Anglagard's use of flute is amazing. Perhaps even better than Anderson's...
