I really like Mike Oldfield, especially his middle years (QE2, Discovery, Five Miles Out, Crises), but Pink Floyd are too awesome from Meddle to Animals to vote against.

Hercules, you never cease to amaze me, even when we agree on a band we can't agree on the albums. Love you man, keep on rocking.

Pink Floyd especially for the Geesin collaboration, the Atom Heart Mother suite.
I like all the Floyd albums up to and including The Wall, though I play the ones up to Meddle the most.
Like Oldfield too, and should explore his discography more (only heard a few of his albums, and none for years, so voting would not be that fair, I feel).

Oh, this is difficult. Pink Floyd was my first favourite band... and to this day I guess it remains so. However, I then found Yes... and Rick Wakeman... and Dream Theater... and those bands have become very close to my top... and then came Mike Oldfield, and indeed he has joined those of my very favourite artists. He released music so beautiful in the 70's... and then some more on later albums, that I can get about the same enjoyment from him as from the very Pink Floyd.

Two giants, but one is more the mightier and it will take this poll hands down. We all know who that will be. I myself am voting for the other one simply because I am more moved by his music. We all know who that is.

To put it politely: out of 25-30 studio albums that Oldfield churned out I could make a 90-minute long, 3.5-star compilation that I would occasionally enjoy listening to.
To put it rudely: IMO, Mike Oldfield made 10 times more albums than he should have :)
Off the top of my head PF have made at least 7 albums that I rate 4 stars or better.

Floyd, easy choice.
The best Oldfield stuff I've heard is the first three albums, which are excellent especially Ommadawn.
