As much as I love Mike Oldfield's mandolin exercises, I love Can's atmospheric rambling even more.
"Bel Air" is a 'top 5 song' candidate of mine.

I haven't heard the Oldfield piece, but I think Bel Air is one of the finest pieces ever by anyone, so I'll vote for that.

Ommadawn, of course. All the early Oldfield's albums are part of the progressive-symphonic spirit of that era...late psychedelic and hippie people reunited listening to that music...great stuff...you know... .

Bel Air for me - I thinks that Ommadawn part 1 is the best thing Oldfield ever did, but I've never liked part 2 that much. Bel Air is flat out brilliant.

Ommadawn has been one of my most played albums lately, can't deny it a vote.

^ Well, I thought the comment was funny (I assumed it was meant to be funny). Anyway, this minus "The Fresh Prince of" bit: I do like both, though.
