I like both bands for different reasons. But Ian Anderson gets my vote because the quality is generally better (IMO).

Well, considering this forum has the highest concentration of VdGG fans in the world, I am sure all fifty will vote for their band.

I'm sure FIFTY will be enough to win in this poll)

Jethro Tull easily, but VDGG is a great band too.

It was not very easy to decide, but I voted for Van der Graaf Generator.

While Jethro Tull has "Thick as a Brick", which is at least a tier above anything Van Der Graaf Generator did album-wise, I take VDGG for having more great albums within a progressive rock context.

I prefer VDGG's peaks but have heard more Tull that I care about. As in, Pawn Hearts and H to He...whatever are my favorites of the two groups, but I've never really heard any Tull I didn't like. Whereas while I didn't dislike it, I've heard Aerosol Grey Machine and way later VDGG and didn't care enough to ever hear it again. I haven't tried much VDGG though....I'd probably prefer them

I had to create a tie, to reflect my own dilemma.

JethroTull was a great band once but discovering Van Der Graaf Generator's music was a lifechanging experience. And unlike JT they still sound inspired live.

Difficult to call in a way, as VDGG is a band and Jethro Tull a solo project by Ian Anderson. But my vote goes to Anderson for his solid body of work and peerless legacy.

Van der Graaf Generator. I really enjoy some early Jethro Tull, but altogether I like VdGG much more.

Two very different bands but they have exactly the same effect on me: I like individual songs but a whole album's worth tends to get very samey. I think it's to do with instrumentation. With VdGG it's always relentless Hammond and sax screaming in your ears, and with Tull it's a f**king omnipresent flute.
