This largely comes down to Palepoli vs Thick as a Brick for me, I think I'll hold off on my vote for deliberation right now.

Not a huge fan of either but Tull gets this. Osanna are not one of my fave RPI bands.

Tull by so far a margin as to make this poll laughable.

Tull.
Ian Anderson is just too transcendental to ignore him.
Thick as a Brick is a masterpiece.

I want to vote for Osanna but Tull beats them just on volume of output. And I can't honestly say that I like Palepoli more than I like Benefit or Passion Play. On the other hand, Tull has quite a few albums I don't care much for at all.
I'm going to wait. Maybe I'll be a swing vote and someone will buy me a hot dinner.

you swing vote this one and you can have them anyway you want... and I'll even accompany you in drag so everyone can admire your tastes in women as well.
Come on people. We are prog fans... appreciate the greatness.. not the popular. Tull was famous, if Osanna were born English.. THEY not Tull would be ackknowledged as one of the true greats. Come on.. you all know it to be true.
Vote Osanna. Vote prog!!

Osanna needs love. I don't care how many great Tull albums there are, or how much I love each of them. Palepoli for the win.

Osanna is new to me but not half bad. However, I am aware of a prejudice towards English vocals, seeing as it's the only language I know. And I love the combo of hard rock guitar with minstrelsy folk sounds, since it reminds me of a host of PC RPGs I've played over the decades.

Voted Osana just to vote against JT. Though pinning some random rpi group vs JT was a waste of a poll anyway.

Well, I wouldn't call Osanna "random", as they were one of the most important Italian prog bands back in the Seventies - and one of the few who are still active today. In fact, they played Baja Prog last year, and made quite an impression. Of course, Tull are much better known internationally, and also quite popular with prog fans, so that very few bands would really stand a chance if pitted against them.

I don't like voting against RPI bands. Italy is one of my fave prog countries.
But... a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
Tull gets my vote.
Unique band, unique sound, some great compositions, and then there's Ian Anderson... Nuff said.

Tull are my fave band but My god is one of the weak songs on Aqualung. My god, Wind up are vocally crap and the heavy parts of Wind up are boring.
The only version of My god I don't mind is the quad version though and I like the early version of Wind up too.
------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Both superb bands, hard to pick.......an English folky band against an RPI band......I just don't prefer one over the other.......

I like Palepoli more than anything of the Tull.
Posted By: Aussie-Byrd-Brother

Not one of my favourite `big five' prog bands, and not one of my favourite RPI bands (I probably admire both of them more than actually really love their music).
What to do, what to do....
Osanna it is...I listen to their albums more than I do Tull.
Posted By: Guldbamsen

Gave some love to the Italians, but I think I like them about equal.
It's basically Palepoli vs. A Passion Play.....and that's about as even as match-ups get!
