IbanezJem Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 From a purely statistical perspective, we must be closing in a poll where I own both records :codger: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) I decided not to think about this too long and so at this point in time I vote as follows - Album: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Band: Genesis by a whisker Flautist: Ian Anderson by some margin. So 2-1 to Genesis but only just. Edited May 18, 2021 by zepphead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) oh man i'm out. not a fan of either. well maybe on 2nd thought ill put the lamb. i find Disc 1 to actually be perfect. disc 2 makes my eyes glaze over. i think ok this time disc 2 will click.....it never does. but the lamb is gonna get it cause disc 1 is actually great.......oh and Genesis and Peter get my vote too.

goose Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) It's a Tull sweep for me. ETA: Good matchup. Edited May 18, 2021 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Lamb is a masterpiece, especially live. Love the early works of both bands equally but Tull by a nose. Ian Edited May 18, 2021 by custom55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Lamb is too long, and while I love Genesis, it's Tull for all three here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taurus Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Is there anyone in rock that has toured more than Ian Anderson? The man is relentless from 1968 thru to 2019 he only didn't tour in 1983/85 and only a brief tour in 1986. Nothing to do with these 2 albums, just popped into mind when I think about the output of Ian next to Genesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malignant Narcissist Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Actually like both but don't know what the Lamb sounds like even though I have the LP! I only played parts of it many years ago. I love Songs from the wood so I have to vote for that by default!Both have produced iconic stuff over the years but Genesis, in comparison, went far too mainstream so lose 'points' for that. Tull still rocked a bit in later years although I'm not sure about the last album or 2. Certainly ones like Crest of a Knave were fine albums.Tull also have the honour of beating Metallica to a 'Heavy Metal' award, even though it was a bit of joke. Unless Gabriel has got serious flute-chops that I don't know about then surely Ian A wins by a landslide. So Tull for the most part even though I like both bands but also because Martin Barre hails from nearby King's Heath in Brum. I'm not a native of Birmingham but been here a reasonable amount of time now.Plus it was fun hearing them playing some heavy rock stuff at the nearby Mosely folk festival a decade or so ago frightening all the folk traditionalists which I think the band got a bit of a kick out of.

Derek19 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Since Genesis has been in, and a part of this, I've liked them, and I'm more familiar with their music, than Jethro Tull. When I listened to the radio more, I'm sure, and positive I've listened to some Jethro Tull's songs on it, but I haven't owned any albums, and c.ds of them. It hasn't meant that I don't have any respect for them because I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
