Oldfield before Wilson / PT.
I'm especially fond of the first three Oldfield albums & Collaborations, and I think Amarok is quite cool. |

This poll is surprisingly close. Mike Oldfield by a landslide.

 GOOD FOR YOU! It really is just about what you prefer. But I have to stay faithful to the 70's. Both is cheating! Compare and contrast!! I actually like PT, but I like Oldfield as a solo artist by far. |

Without detracting from the quality and quantity of contributions from Wilson to progressive music, Mike Oldfield think that is among the top 5 individual musicians ever. An absolute phenomenon and not look like anyone.

Lately I've been discovering and enjoying quiet a bit of Wilson and Porcupine Tree, but it will be very difficult for me to find anything as extremely beautiful as Oldfields first 4 albums.

Steven Wilson is a very talented musician and works with great guys such as Theo Travis.Moreover he managed to find his own way while paying homage to 70's great bands such as King Crimson but I find Mike Oldfield more moving,Ommadawn and Hergest Ridge are the treats.

On the strength of Ommadawn, Hergest Ridge & Tubular Bells alone I would say Oldfield is the better solo artist. Stick PT into the equation and it levels out somewhat. The Wilson solo stuff I've heard, including some Blackfield is fairly unremarkable. But Oldfield has produced some insipid bilge over the years too. Five miles Out is the musical equivalent of eating dry branflakes.

 I always felt Wilson's solo stuff is far more original, innovative and complex than Porcupine Tree. |

Yeah, I forgot about that one, which is great too, of course. I guess the closest he got to the glory of his original four... together with Amarok, I guess, but I haven't heard that one yet. |

Steven's solo output is even better than PT, so Steven. Used to like Oldfield, now he bores me.
