I'm back with the alphabet! Let's move on to letter O...

This is another quicky for me... for what appears to be a trend for me as of late

Mike Oldfield - man, he really lost me as time went on... but as of late, if there is one I can still enjoy it is Amarok, so let that be my pick.

Osibisa - s/t

Oysterhead - Grand Pecking Order 

The Ozric's - Erpland

There you have it! Smile

Oldfield, Mike - Incantations
Opeth- Heritage
Orford, Martin - The Old Road

one for the future maybe? - Ok Goodnight. I've listened to their second album The Fox and the Bird and it's very good although not really my thing.

Just out of curiosity... is anyone here old enough to have experienced the 60s as a teen or young adult (b. 1946 or prior) ?? 

Born in 2001... I can only imagine what it was like. And even then it's hard because color video became prominent around about 70' or 71' and not a lot of that footage survived the test of time - possibly due to the low emphasis placed on the durability of the format. I should think many people back then took the period for granted - thinking the spark of creativity would last forever. Little did they know... here we are in 2024

I have by far the most of Mike Oldfield (I love Tubular Bells just as much as Ommadawn) and a few of the Ozrics. I like to mention "Herd of Instinct" by .O.rang, the best O-album.

No, no cookie monster vocals on that Opeth album. It's retro-prog monster only. LOL

No "cookie (cutter) monster vocals" on the highlighted Osanna album either. You're safe.
