Well, in the words of Bill Bailey:
"Jean-Michel Jarre is a fraud."

Anyway, back on topic:
Freddie Mercury beat Mike Oldfield.
Mike Oldfield was also beaten by Richard Branson.
However, Mike Oldfield hammered Terry Oldfield.
Nothing like a bit of sibling rivalry, eh?

Anyone tried it with song titles yet?

Picked two at random and found that "Pictures In The Dark" just beats "Flying Start"... :)

Mike wins easily over Apoptygma Berzerk (with 3,730,000 results over a little more than one million for APB), he is beaten slightly by  Italians Lacuna Coil (4,130,000), but he is beaten hugely by Pet Shop Boys' 23 millions and, unfortunately, by the nearly 49 millions of results for Duncan James. Oh my Gosh, those teen idols!! :D :D

Try using double-quotes. "Amarok" disemboweled "The Millennium Bell". :)

PS: Google Fight affirms that Mike Oldfield does not need more cowbell, but I find that debatable.

Google Fight also affirms Mike does not need to use the vocaloid software, but you probably knew that already. :p

Want to try more googlefights? Solve the Horseback lyric once and for all: pit cars against chaos. Vocals? Pit Kevin Ayers against Kermit the Frog.
