This is a hard one. Way to many to choose a favorite, so I won't vote this time around.

Had to give Anthony Phillips a vote even though the correct answer is Mike Oldfield.

Just a small thing, Syd only made two solo albums. Opel is a compilation and had nothing to do with it.

I know, but thanks for telling me anyway. Smile The third Syd Barrett Opel album was a compilation of out-takes and demos from his 1970 recordings, but at least it gives me the opportunity to include a third Syd Barrett album in this poll for the benefit of his many fans here. Wink

Ah, fair play to you then. I've got a very rare Syd collection in addition to the 2 solos and Opal, it was issued by Caroline Records and came with a badge, a cloth bag and a glossy photo. I've also got Syd's Peel Sessions.

Of these, I selected the amazing "Another Green World" by Eno.  

It was the first time I heard Percy Jones on fretless bass...I had to sit up and say 'What in the Hell is THAT??" 

Sublime performances by Robert Fripp as well, one of Eno's best.  Here, have some!

How can I choose between Myths and Legends and Ommadawn, two of my favourite albums ever... I might give Ommadawn a slight edge, but since Arthur seems bound to get much less votes, I'm going with that one.

Melt is one of the great albums of the 80s.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I also prefer Oldfield's 80s albums, but I do love TB, Ommadawn and the PLatinum Suite, less so Hergest Ridge and Incantations

Some of my very favorites are on here, such as Ommadawn, Spectral Mornings, and Melt. There are also a lot of other albums I greatly enjoy, but my vote goes to Brian Eno. Another Green World is not just a good album, nor is it one that defines a genre (or sub-genre), but is in fact one that transcends genre; it is one of those albums that has a special quality to it that almost defies description. It is not just a listen, it is an experience.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Ommadawn as it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Nothing else on this list gets close.

I totally agree. I love Tubular Bells and Ommadawn too, but I'm not a big fan of Hergest Ridge or Incantations. Smile
This poll result has been surprising to me, because Peter Gabriel is currently leading the poll, one vote ahead of Mike Oldfield, when I was expecting it to be a battle for first place between Mike Oldfield and Steve Hackett.
