I've never heard any of Steven Wilson's solo albums, so it's no surprise that I'm surprised he's currently leading the poll, although not for long I suspect.

As well as never hearing any Led Zeppelin, add Steven Wilson to your list LOL

Mike Oldfield is a big reason he is not popular here on lists, plus his one album big album is hit and miss for many, let alone trying to listen to everything up to Tubular Bells XII Wink

Who hasn't heard any Led Zeppelin!?? I have *FOURTEEN* Led Zeppelin CD's in my collection.

I didn't count In Through the Out Door because I heard it's not very good.

there are 4 excellent songs on it if you ask me - In the Evening, Carouselambra, I'm Gonna Crawl, All My Love. Only one weak song - Hot Dog.

Don't believe everything you hear. Try things on your own.

You're right! I heard Mike Oldfield's Man on the Rocks album wasn't very good either, but I listened to it yesterday and I liked it a lot.

By the way, what is it you particularly don't like about the winking emoticon? I've never heard anyone else complain about it before today.
