Platinum
4.  Platinum by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:

Light and Shade
5.  Light and Shade by Mike Oldfield

Tubular Bells
6.  Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "This is his debut, and most likely his definitive album. Released in 1973, it still sounds as timeless  35 years later.  A truely fantastic album.  And he was only 19 years old at the time, amazing!"

Ommadawn
7.  Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "From the haunting guitars and the chants on 'Part 1' to Oldfield's first vocal on 'On Horseback' at the albums closure.  This is an essential Oldfield classic. Also the album Amarok was based from."
Used & New from: £2.96
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

Tubular Bells, 2
8.  Tubular Bells, 2 by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "Although lacking in the originality of the 1973 original, this sequel expands on the original themes to a more satisfying and uplifting effect.  Features the actor Alan Rickman as MOC."
£4.49   Used & New from: £0.76
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

Crises
9.  Crises by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "The one with 'Moonlight Shadow.'  This also features the excellent 'Crises' instrumental and the song 'Shadow On The Wall'.  Another more commercial Oldfield album, but it does have some fine moments."
Used & New from: £15.75

Tubular Bells Iii
10.  Tubular Bells Iii by Mike Oldfield
The list author says:
  "The weakest out of his Tubular Bells trilogy.  However, there are some great melodies, guitar work and synth.  Like a Best Of Mike Oldfield's styles album.  Plus different from 1 + 2  in structure."
£5.47   Used & New from: £1.97
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Music Of The Spheres
11.  Music Of The Spheres by Mike Oldfield
