This is really quite hard as a lot of the albums are equally good IMO. Okay, how about:

1. Amarok
2. Hergest Ridge
3. Ommadawn
4. Tubular Bells II
5. Music of the Spheres
...
6. Discovery
7. Crises
8. Five Miles Out
9. Islands
10. Tubular Bells
11. Heaven's Open
12. The Songs of Distant Earth
13. Tubular Bells III
14. Tubular Bells 2003
15. Tres Lunas
16. Incantations
17. Platinum
18. Exposed
19. QE2
20. The Millennium Bell
21. Voyager
22. Light + Shade
23. Earth Moving
24. Guitars
25. The Orchestral Tubular Bells
26. The Killing Fields

The top five (or so) are masterpieces, the majority of the others are very, very good - it's only the last two that I don't really rate at all. I must confess I hardly ever play The Orchestral TB or TKF.

BTW i've had two copies of Music Wonderland.The regular 'Mountain Cover' one which i still have in mint condition and paid £2.50 for and a rarer Dutch one with a photo looking across the top of a guitar.Like a prat i sold it when i was young.I understand this one's worth a little more.
Some crappy edits on both versions.Namely chopping the beginning of Punkadiddle off and chopping a bit out of the live version of Guilty.Anyone remember Episodes?I think it had much the same on it as Wonderland.

@ Caveman.

Yeah, I remember "Episodes". I have it on French vinyl. As I recall it had pretty much the upper limit of what you could squeeze onto vinyl at the time (or since).

I also have the Dutch vinyl of "Wonderland" that you referred to (with the horizontal guitar cover). Kept it all these years because for a long time it was my only source of the special mix of "Blue Peter" (until "The Comprehensive Collection" came along). That's why it was worth more.

The live edit of "Guilty" was there, I believe, because that particular edit was used as a B-side for the 12" version of "Guilty" in some territories. I don't mind the "Wonderland" edit of "Punkadiddle"... I never cared much for the protracted link between it and "Into Wonderland" as it appeared on "Platinum". I like it as a song all on it's own this way.

Sorry for the off-topic. Back to the show.

"Episodes" isn't the exactly the best album title ever. They could just as well have named it "Seizures". :laugh:

This reminds of the Pink Floyd compilation album "Masters of Rock", which for a long time was the only way hear tracks like "Apples and Oranges" and "It Would Be So Nice". Apart from the lame title, the cover art was sub-standard to say the least. It featured the band picture from "Meddle" (1971) except that David Gilmour's head was replaced with Syd Barrett's face ca 1968. All this in order to reflect the line-up behind the music on the album. Poor Dave Gilmour disappeared from the photo like Trotskij went up in smoke where he stood next to Stalin.
Also, they added neon colors to the T-shirts of the band members. Please let me speak to the team behind the "Masters of Rock" series...

This is an appeal on behalf of The Millennium Bell Secret Appreciation Society: -

Will those Millennium shakers hiding in the woodwork come on out - and lets have your order of preference toooday - to boldly go where no man has gone - slapping 'em down, one hundred two, hundred ....
