This is a tough one.  While VDGG is one of my three favorite bands, Tull has put out one of my top three albums with TAAB, and Aqualung and APP aren't that far behind.  Godbluff, Still Life and Pawn Hearts are all incredible albums but none quite reach my top three.  But for overall output, I'm still going to have to go with Vandie.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I'm surprised Graaf are still leading despite of so many Tull fans.I love Aqualung, but I don't think TAAB is something so special, but reading all the comments i decided to give it 'another chance'.

While I love VDGG, I believe that Jethro Tull is the most talented band ever! Thick as a brick can't be beaten!!!! Jethro Tull, easily!!!!!!

I know that Dickinson loves both bands- VDGG and Jethro Tull, but Iron Maiden is not only Dickinson.... The main songwriter and heart of Iron Maiden is Steve Harris, who himself has said many times that A Passion Play, Thick as a Brick and Aqualung are his favorite albums (along with Foxtrot by Genesis) and that in his opinion Ian Anderson is a genius!

Ian Anderson is also the greatest flute player in Rock music and Martin Barre is amazing guitarist, who has influenced people like Steve Vai and other great guitar players... and many guitarists like Mark Knopfler say that Martin's guitar work with Jethro Tull is genius.

My favorite song is Thick As A Brick, which is 45 minute masterpiece! It has great guitar work, great flute work, great drumming, great bass lines, etc... Just phenomenal! Beyond the top! and it never gets boring, it changes all the time but meanwhile it gives a feeling that you are listening to the same song and not just joint of songs! Also, this song incorporates the styles from - Classical, Jazz and Folk! Once you get into the whole song, you will never get bored of it!

One of my favourite prog rock songs is A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers, but I don't think it can even touch Thick As A Brick!

Cheers!

This is a non vote for me. It's a bit like saying which bollock would you like surgically removed. Neither.
