You mean you "tolerate" them ? How one can like growls ? I listen to a lot of death metal bands but I would never say I like the growls...

Dear god, the narrow mindedness and absolute ignorance of some people is astounding. 


Anyways, Arkfeldt here, Oldfield is typical overrated classic prog.

I read the above replies, and decide to apologize. My original post was horribly biased   towards Mikael. Actually it was part of my strategy: I intentionally called Oldfield "new age", and said he would lose by 500 votes. That's mean. I did so because I wanna enrage the Oldfield fans and make them vote for Oldfield. That's my endgame. But it wasn't the right thing to do. Sorry.

And  p0mt3  i'm curious to know what other modern artist can do what Oldfield have done? 


Why do they have to do exactly what Oldfield has done in order to match or even surpass him musically?

I think people such as Mikael Akerfeldt, Steven Wilson, Jeff Martin, Adam Jones, The fellas in Indukti, Meshuggah, Cynic, etc. are all better songwriters than Oldfield. They may not use the exact same methods or instruments as he does, but that doesn't mean they can't be as good or better.

You can of course argue this, but my main point here is that this is all opinion, and nothing more. I just proved that point not once, but now twice. Any rebuttal you give will just be a different opinion than mine, and therefore cannot contradict it. Is that really so hard for folks to understand?

I'm not ask that every modern musician have to do what Oldfield done, but i recognize that Oldfield gain his well deserved place in rock's history.

This is own everyone's taste, i like very much Steve Wilson, but in tastes breaks genres.

I have a feeling the Oldfield fans would have voted for Oldfield anyway. Wink
