^ Adele's voice, pitch and phrasing are fantastic. No shame in listening to pop if she owns 95% of prog singers with her skillset Cool

And Mike is, ofc, very well worth a listen beyond Tubular Bells and Ommadawn.

Not to worry. It's no Crises if you're unable to take part in the poll, but Mike Oldfield has recorded more Platinum albums than most, so maybe it's time to be a Voyager of Discovery. Wink

Adele and Taylor Swift both have won many music awards and sold big but I don't buy their albums either.

It's a tough decision. They're all so good.



It's not that I meant to leave any good ones out, it's more I'm still behind on his discography. It looks like Ommadawn might have to be my next listen.
ballsy decision to avoid the first four albums

I would expect Amarok to be doing a bit better in the poll , even Oldfield thinks it's his best album!

Indeed that's a beautiful one. Though my favourite from that album is the last one. Such a powerful use of the Tubular Bells.
