Last night while listening to return to ommadawn it dawned on (see what you did to me Paul? Tongue) me to do this poll. 

Anyway, two later ones by Mike here. I'm not sure I really see (hear) the appeal of Amarok. It sounds a bit herky jerky to me. RtO sounds much more like classic Oldfield but I need to hear more of both.

I was planning to return to this poll at dawn, but I may as well vote now while I'm here. Smile

I copped out with 'both equally'. I like both a lot but neither is at the level of his first 4 although they take something from that era more than any other albums he made post 1978.

Not a big fan of Amarok and I haven't heard Return to Ommadawn yet
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I think Return is a beautiful disk and have voted for it, purely because out of the two, I would prefer to hear it more often. I respect Amarok a great deal and think its brilliant, but it's one of those disks where I really have to be in the mood...
