It all comes together for Taurus 2, but every one of those is a masterpiece

Ommadawn is perfection, Though I do love the first 3... Taurus... I also like very much, actually, but it's not in the same league for me. Tubular Bells has the problem that it doesn't sound like a single song for me, but rather as several pieces of music connected to make a whole. I would also put Hergest Ridge part 2 at the same level as the first 3 options.

I would say Ommadawn pt.1 but I voted for Taurus II, since it only had two votes. Incantations pt.4 is not even my favourite side on that album and I prefer Hergest Ridge over that album.

Almost a tie between Ommadawn part 1 and Tubular Bells part 1 for me, but I give the edge to Tubular Bells.

Tubular Bells is very good, but I really like his later stuff with the more world music feel, so Taurus 2.

Ommadown and Tubular Bells.
Voted on Tubular Bells just to make them even.

Ommadawn Part 1 is the best single side of music that he's done in my view.
Hergest Ridge isn't too far behind this though.
