   I almost never listen to TB, Hergest Ridge or Ommadawn. They're mostly good, but no better.
But QE2, Five Miles Out, Crises, and Discovery tick all the boxes for me.

	A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

	^ Agreed that his 80s period is very strong and often given short shrift While QE2 and Five Miles out are my favourites in this list, Discovery in particular is underrated Edited by kenethlevine - March 26 2017 at 19:40

	I have a real soft spot for Tubular Bells and listened to it so much as a teenager. I don't put it on so often now, perhaps once or twice a year but when I do it brings me great joy. Ommadawn is my favourite however I was completely underwhelmed by the new one.
