| Heh, I thought it was Mahavishnu Orchestra at first. If it was, they would get my vote easily, but in this case; Genesis. |

Genesis is amongst the greatest of prog-bands, so they kick Oldfield's ass. |

| Mike Oldfield. Believe me, it was a hard choice, but I understood that Genesis recorded only 3 works that really excite me (and the Collins era is aaaaawful..). Oldfield is a sort of genius for me. Even if he doesn't write cds like in the 70, i must admit that Tubular Bells is still one of my fav cds ever. A TOTAL masterpiece. And then Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn, QE2, Five Miles Out, Amarok, Platinum, Incantations.... |

Genesis, even if Oldfield is one of most skilled and inspired musician I have ever heard. The Genesis masterpieces simply come from an another world. ------------- Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it. Salvador Dali. |

Lying on my death bed, I'd choose Mike Oldfield, for the beauty, the depth and ease hand in hand and the musical coherence.
BTW one underestimated piece from MO: The Killing Fields.... |
