Solo only for Frank also although I suppose it doesn't really matter much for him.

I'm not a big connoisseur of Zappa. So, option 4.

Zappa is in a different league than the others mentioned. Easy answer for me.

I was intially going to have it just be Frank vs Mike but decided at the last minute to throw Steve in there as well.

Like them all and could find good reasons to vote for both Hackett and Zappa, but I'll give it to Oldfield. Certainly a nice team for a poll.

I agree. He's way behind. 1 Hackett 2 Oldfield 3 Zappa

I'm beginning to think maybe I should have had it be between just Hackett and Oldfield.

Two of my absolute favorites here - Mike and Steve. Frank is one of those figures whose music I respect more than enjoy. Vote went to Mike.

Saw the word Zappa and don't even need to know who the other choices are.

I have more albums by Mike Oldfield than just about any other artist, so that's where my vote goes.

You mean the word Frank. There is a rather obscure Italian prog composer named Riccardo Zappa too. However, his sound is much closer to Mike Oldfield than the famous Zappa so you might want to stay away.

Zappa. Really love Oldfield´s three first, but after those he´s...naaah (return to Omma is the best after those three). I am not very much into Zappa after sixties, but he´s sixties albums are just so absolutely great!! And really don´t like Hackett solo at all.

I like pretty much everything Oldfield did up to and including Discovery ( there are a mixture of 3-5 star albums but that's okay) and then after that it it's patchy but there are still some nice releases. Hackett - there are maybe 3 albums that I love ( Acolyte , To Watch the Storms and his latest) but a whole load of stuff that is mediocre. That said I think he has retained high standards throughout his solo career and works continuously. Zappa - just don't know enough and along with many other bands would love to rectify that. Voted for Oldfield because he has more albums I love (Ommadawn , Hergest Ridge, Incantations , Crisis , Songs Of Distant Earth , Amarok) than Hackett.
