I very much agree. Tubular Bells is probably a 2 star album for me. Even when I was an Oldfield fan it left me cold. Guess I don't see what others do.

Tubular Bells is overloaded with ideas which are mostly great but not properly developed imo. Ommadawn was the one that blew me away on first listen and Hergest Ridge was the one that rewarded me after many plays. That said Incantations would be one of my desert island disc picks if only for the awesome Part 3.

Wilson has 3 albums. Oldfield has about 3 good ones, if only he had stopped after those.
Oldfield was more groundbreaking, Wilson is a better judge of his own work. I'll go with Wilson

Oldfield made those first 3-4 albums, was so cutting edge at the time, after that he lost me.
Wilson seems to be growing fast (or actualy putting his focus into solo work)
 
As it stands now i will vote "I like them both equally", but i would think Wilson takes the lead very soon. 
 
If Wilsons other projects collaborations ect. was included. No contest. - Mike is relatively one sided.

Amarok tends to divide opinion as its not quite as structured as those others. I love it personally.


I'm afraid I don't know it yet, except for a small excerpt from the best of album "elements", which I really like a lot (though perhaps the "special effects" were a bit too loud). However, I'm a bit put off by the idea of it all being just one song, because it's kind of impractical.

I implore you go and re-listen to Five Miles Out, hell just listen to Taurus II, one of Oldfields best pieces in my opinion. I also like some other his later output. I think Discovery is a solid album, as is Crisis and Earth Moving. Some real gems in those three albums; The Lake from Discovery - a great instrumental, Holy from Earth Moving with Adrian Belew on vocals, how could you not enjoy that?, and the eponymous track on Crisis as well as most of side B all are great, albeit different from his first albums, but great none the less.

I've listened to Mike Oldfields entire discography many times over, and Five Miles Out is in the Top 5 for me, easily.

On the strength of Ommadawn, Hergest Ridge & Tubular Bells alone I would say Oldfield is the better solo artist. Stick PT into the equation and it levels out somewhat. The Wilson solo stuff I've heard, including some Blackfield is fairly unremarkable. But Oldfield has produced some insipid bilge over the years too. Five miles Out is the musical equivalent of eating dry branflakes. ]]> Fri, 15 Mar 2013 08:29:11 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82463&PID=4739557#4739557 Mike Oldfield vs Steven Wilson : Originally posted by Pietro... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82463&PID=4739516#4739516 Author: Nogbad_The_Bad

Without detracting from the quality and quantity of contributions from Wilson to progressive music, Mike Oldfield think that is among the top 5 individual musicians ever.

LOL GOOD FOR YOU! It really is just about what you prefer. But I have to stay faithful to the 70's. Both is cheating! Compare and contrast!! I actually like PT, but I like Oldfield as a solo artist by far.

Oldfield before Wilson / PT.

I'm especially fond of the first three Oldfield albums & Collaborations, and I think Amarok is quite cool.

Big fan of Mr Wilson - in most of his various forms. Thought his Grace album one of the very best of 2011.
 
But life without Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, Incantations and Amorak just doesn't bear thinking about.
 
Another vote for Mr Oldfield.

Yes, really Tongue

Steven Wilson for me, anyday, anytime.
