I like these three about equally:

The Moody Blues
Nektar
Mike Oldfield

I'll probably go for Nektar.Ive listened to them quite a lot in the last couple of years.

From these I listen to Spock's Beard quite a bit more than the others, hence my vote. My nose has turned into a ceremonial firepit for a sofa cushion conglomerate.

I went with Spock's Beard here.  DT and the Moodies each got consideration.

Spock's Beard over Dream Theater but its close. Depends on the mood.
True story from a dozen years ago or so, but the former manager of HMV ended up leaving that job and showing up at one of the local grocery stores here. We had a nice talk and he told me every time he saw me previously in the music store he would think of Spock's Beard. Not sure if he listened to them, but I ordered them from him.

I actually like all 5, although I don't listen to much DT these days..

I've gone for Mike, as I think his overall discography is the strongest; the order of the others could be changed depending on how I feel...

So have I; my interest was re-ignited by 'The Other Side' which I enjoyed more than anything since 'Recycled'
