Hi,

Sad to see a thread like this ... it's like asking ... Beethoven or Tchaikovsky ... and/or ... left handed or right handed?

There is no proper answer, other than personal favorites.
Oh yawn. I'll give you my proper answers: Beethoven of course - and left handed - and Vangelis. That was easy! All based on personal preference and listening experience. Sorry to make you even more sad.

Yeah, I've always wondered about people who have issues with threads like these... do they think that someone was looking for the objectively best artist? That's just silly; these threads are all about discussing your opinions! No need to specify that as it should be obvious.

Mike Oldfield without a doubt in my mind. Vangelis composed some nice works, but Oldfield always hits me right in the gut and pulls the ol’ heart strings.

They are both great. Love Mike Oldfield's Amorak and Tubular Bells along with a few others, but I find myself liking Vangelis a bit more. I love my keyboardists and Vangelis is a wizard, one of my favorites. Love his albums Spiral, Heaven and Hell, Blade Runner, etc. His work with Aphrodite's Child is pretty great too.

I like them both, but overall, I think Vangelis is more consistently great, however they have both had masterpieces and flops.
