Tubular Bells is an iconic release

I'm amazed to see Larks' Tongues in Aspic has twice as many votes as Tubular Bells. Shocked

Also Ommadawn is more popular (rightfully imo) followed by Amarok. I remember doing a list of my favourite MO albums and Tubular Bells just scraped into the top ten!

I'm assuming it's the original version in 1973. Smile

TB is way cool, but c'mon... This is Larks we're talking about here.

yes there must be a dozen if you include live
I'm partial to the original but also love TB 3 which is far from a rehash.  It's more of a world music album, which I like

I donīt like TB 3 at all. I think after the original best version is that Orchestral TB from the seventies (havenīt yet heard Exposed, I think I will listen it first thing this morning also for the reason there is Pohjola in bass). TB 2 is ok, TB 2003 is quite indifferent, when itīs almost the same as the original. There is also "Tubular Beats" that I just donīt want to listen. All the way I think "Return to Ommadawn" much more interesting than those other TB:s, just because itīs only influenced by the original Omma.

I really enjoyed both Tubular Bells II and Tubular Bells III, especially when they were played Live. Smile

Side one of Tubular Bells is the greatest piece of popular instrumental music in the last 60 years. It just doesn't reach the same heights on side two. Six Wives of Henry VIII would have made a better comparison and I would have given it to the Wakeman because it's the more complete album. However the Oldfield is a piece of inspirational genius. Larks is different again. Still my favourite King Crimson album.

I thought about voting for both but I guess Larks is the better album over all. I do love the Oldfield debut to bits. I used to do Kung Fu/Tai Chi movements to it on a daily basis. Made me strong and limber like a boa.
