I would argue that applies to Gabriel and Bush for a start.

Not even in the same league sales wise. Only TB comes some what close.

Well....I have Bells..bought it when it came out mostly due to that film...also have Ridge and Ommadawn for vinyl collectable reasons....but I have never seen what people see in his music. He seems to be an average musician imo and the album music just kind of meanders for me. I always placed him in the 'ambient music' area and I have never been a fan of that genre (other than Eno). I know he started young and has played on many other peoples lp's but I really don't feel moved by his music.

Ah yes, the Tubular Days of telling Tales. Each one of these three were truly groundbreaking.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Have you ever wondered what it would be like hear the sound of the Tubular Bells chiming at sunrise on top of Hergest Ridge at the Ommadawn of a new day? Looking out to sea from the top of the ridge, you'd be able to see the sun casting its delicate Incantations of light across a calm Platinum silver sea. In the distance, you might be lucky enough to see the QE2 sailing Five Miles Out from Southampton, where the lucky passengers are temporarily escaping the world's Crises by  embarking on a voyage of Discovery to exotic tropical Islands. A voyage aboard a luxury cruise liner promises to be an Earth Moving experience of a lifetime, where you could sail to the exotic island of Amarok in Indonesia, or witness a tropical monsoon when the Heavens Open over Java. It's almost as exotic as the astronauts who journeyed to the Moon aboard gleaming silver rockets, which glinted in the Sun like Tubular Bells II of stainless steel. As the space travellers journeyed into orbit around the Moon, they'd hear The Songs of Distant Earth aboard their Voyager spacecraft. Maybe they'd listen to Tubular Bells III and the distinctive sound of Mike Oldfield's Guitars, whilst the tolling of The Millennium Bell on the album announces the beginning of a new century. The Tres Lunas (or three lunar astronauts) would be travelling between Light + Shade as their spacecraft orbits the Moon, where the Music of the Spheres can be heard across space and time. Maybe one day in the not too distant future, a spacecraft will land a Man on the Rocks of Mars, before the long journey home and a welcome Return to Ommadawn here on Earth. Smile

Too many good ones, even though I have to go with Roxy (the shock it caused when it came out !!!) but Geoff Downes -the Light Program is an unknown gem. 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Yes, but the instant packets of ramen never look like that. It's just noodles.

If it's just noodles,  I had ramen for lunch yesterday, and didn't even realise I was eating ramen. Smile

Due to its originality and impact I goes with Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells. But I also could go with The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed.

I'll give Argent a vote. It's more Zombies-style pop than prog but is a very good debut.
