	Although I really like The Faust Tapes, I never tire of TB.

	Don't know the Faust Tapes I really love the Flying Teapot, but if the opponent is TB, my vote has to go to Oldfield.

	Tubular Bells isn't as good as some other Oldfield albums, nor as good as either of those other albums. Faust for me.

	Fauusst. Tubular Bells gets old real fast, and yeah I agree with Colin, no where near as good as the other Oldfield albums. Ommadawn blows it out of the water.

	Mike Oldfield. The guy composed and edited Tubular bells with simple A-Track player with a recording feature on it when he was I think 21. Brilliant album. Huge winner here. :)
	Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

	I only know Tubular Bells so out of respect to those other albums I decline to vote. I'm also with others that TB is eclipsed by the next 3 albums although it still has many genius moments nevertheless.
