Shakespeare is obtuse until you get it and early Tull isn't Dull although the last couple of albums of Ian Anderson without Martin Barre qualifies in that area.

King Crimson. I've been getting really into them lately and they're surprisingly good. I do like Thick as a Brick a lot though.

Hard to say. Back in the day I would lean to Tull, but now I lean a bit more towards Crimso.

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.

I voted for Tull but feel a little guilty as I cant really say there's any clear winner imho.

I could live with just one Tull album if it comes to it (TAAB) while even Crimson's later period beats most of Tull for me. Easy vote for Crimson.

Crimson, unless there is an ample amount of beer, then Tull.

The Stormwatch remix basically has 71-74 crimson covered on it’s own

Too close for me to choose. I went with Tull just because they are behind.

Tull easy. I’d take the trilogy of box sets from 77-79 and 71-73 over any crimson album really. Poseidon is up there though

they are very different, anyway, I think KC have touched some peaks that Tull's never reached.

King Crimson.  Nobody beats KC for being influential to all music.  Even though I'm also a big fan of JT, Crimson is my all-time most favorite band.
