Two legendary electronic rock/psychadelia, instrumentalist, legends. And Exentric fellows whom share with the listeners fantastical tales of wonder and awe. Is it the mysterious Swede or the Lonesome Englishman.

Hard to compare because Hansson only had four albums (although they were all great). Oldfield has more albums but not all are good. If I compare Oldfield's best four albums to Hansson's quartet, Oldfield gets my nod.

Hansson had five, I think, four in the 70s and one in the 80s that's probably best forgotten.

I like both, but Bo Hansson for me. I really enjoy his 70s music.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I chose Oldfield.  I will have to give Bo Hannson another chance.  The only time I listened it seemed a bit meandering, even compared to Oldfield

I can see a close race here, since both are quite excellent. For me, though is very, very close, Oldfield gets my vote, but I don't think he is much better than Hansson, I just enjoy his music a little more.

Oldfield.
Just a bit more accessible than Hansson.

Hansson is fine but has never moved me as much as Oldfield's best, say, four or five albums.

I'm tempted to vote for Oldfield, since he is one of my very favourite artists, but I don't really know Bo Hanson well enough to do the vote in good faith.

I've never been able to get into Oldfield really, but I love Hansson. He was brilliant at creating mood and atmosphere.

This little film about Bo from 1970s Swedish TV (English subtitles) is really nice if you haven't seen it:

^Yes quite moving actually. The awesome looking guy with that lovely slide guitar and Bo play some incredible sounding music about 2/3ds out in the clip that I don't think I've ever heard before. Its not on El-ahrairah. Maybe it never ended up on an album. Anyone knows?

Bo Hansson for sure, one of my fav keyboardists ever, Attic thoughts  is among my fav albums ever, while Oldfield is great  and have lots more albums then Bo, I do not feel him as one of my fav musicians, but I like his music
