The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.
I think you'll find Ommadawn is his definitive work.

I voted for, "I hate them all." I only like his songs when there's someone singing on them.

I seem to remember hearing both Tubular Bells and Tubular Bells II for the first time at around exactly the same time - in 1992 when II was released and my dad acquired them both on CD. He'd had the LP since it was out, along with the orchestral one, which I don't think I've ever heard. In 1992, naturally I preferred II as it sounded "modern" and a couple of the tracks got played on the radio and charted.
I do still like both of them.

If I had to choose one of them it would be II, because I used to use it to calm myself down when I was 29 And Mad.
I like III as well though, especially The Watchful Eye, which always reminds me of driving to Banbury one autumn evening in 2009, that being when I first heard it.
