Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Well this is a strange one. You know what else is weird? After doing probably at least a dozen of these, not a single Queen or Rush album has come up, yet Hall And Oates and Rod Stewart have appeared twice iirc. Well, it is random! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Oldfield from what I know was one of the original 'home recording' artists (along with Boston's founder). The album gained traction in the prog community but I've never really cared for any of his stuff, the bits I've heard. By default Hall and Oats gets my vote, not because they're necessary 'better' musicians. Their commercial success and style of pop was much less vapid than some of the other schlock on the radio at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells was the first ever release on Virgin records. It became a massive success (boosted by it's use in The Exorcist) and basically was fundamental in the rise and rise of Virgin. I have been a fan of Oldfield ever since the release of Tubular Bells way back in 1973 and would thoroughly recommend giving his material a try. Hall and Oates on the other hand do very little for me. A pop combo with some catchy tunes. Whatever. Oldfield gets both votes by a massive margin.

custom55 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Tubular Bells was frequently on my turntable during my freshman year of college. It got my vote. :smoke: Hall and Oats got my vote for band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Mike Oldfield, for both. Not even fcking close. I got into Mike's music via the 4 CD Elements compilation released in 1993. And if you think his "normal" music is out there, try the things he wrote and perfomed for the soundtrack of The Killing Fields.

RushFanForever Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Hall & Oates covered Mike Oldfield's song 'Family Man'. It thus became one of the very few songs penned by Oldfield to chart in the United States from the Hall & Oates cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC-nATyudCo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cptMnXiHfNc Edited May 10, 2021 by RushFanForever 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
