It is a little bit difficult to create a poll with such varying bands isn't it? They barely have anything in common.
  RIGHT  !!   Tull for me as well for personal reasons , but i love both equally !  Wink

i've got to go for van der graaf generator because their music is much more complex and adventurous to the edge of prog rock and into a new genre yet to be discovered

Van der Graaf Generator.  Not too much of a fan of Jethro Tull passed Thick as a Brick.

This one is really tricky...probably Tull in terms of their constant way of surprising the listener but VDGG have certainly made some powerful music adn Peter Hammill's solo efforts are superb - especially "In Camera"

JETHRO TULL easily!!!
 
Both are amazing bands, but Jethro Tull is uncomparable!!! Tull's 70s albums are amazingly amazing, they are many great metal bands' favourite band! even Iron Maiden adores them!
 
Thick As A Brick is the most beautiful progressive rock song ever written!

Tull by a wide margin, although VdGG is a great band too.

+1 for Jethro. Simple because of the accessibility and straightforwardness.

VDGG !WinkThey have huge diversity od very powerful, strong and interesting melodies and great lyrics, Jethro Tull seem to me more homogenic.

Fifty?
Show me them please. I khow about 6 or 8 the - rest just prefer VdGG to JT and they are not real fans(



Hey I'm so satisfied that here are lots od VDGG fans! In my country I have no-one to talk about them. Or no-one who understands their music. What a great thing, this prog rock forumClap

Though I've started to enjoy VDGG, voting Tull was an easy choice. I mean, how could I not vote for my no.1 favourite band?

I love graaf, but they didn't even exist during 2 great eras of prog music 1972-74 and 1978-82. During that time Tull have 7 first class remasters. That's more than Graaf ever released:
Thick as a brick-One of the great albums
A passion play-A little sister to Thick. But still cool
Warchild Remaster-Yeah the album was a pop soundtrack but the 7 fine bonus tracks are the true tull songs of 1974
 
Heavy horses remaster-Some of the best prog folk you'll hear
Bursting out-One of the great live albums
A remaster-underrated album. It's quite strong actually. The slipstream dvd is awesome
Broadsword remaster-The songs and recordings are hit and miss but there's a strong album worth amongst the 20 songs. Don't forget there's another 10 songs from these sessions not included. A full drum remixed 28 song remaster would be awesome

Jethro Tull definitely. I like the two saxes in VdGG, but they have no guitarist. I'm a guitarist. See my problem.

Van Der Graaf by light years. I don't listen to Jethro Tull that often anymore, but when I do it's usually only Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play, sometimes Aqualung.

I can't stand Jethro Tull. Thick as a Brick is annoying overrated (blah blah blah), and the band never really caught my interest. 

I rather listen to Fleet Foxes if i want good folk, or any other band for good rock.
