(perhaps next year we can rate the guitars or shoes) I made my best guess on the timeline, so hopefully it's in somewhat chronological order... 01. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Ebony Group: Members Posts: 172 Joined: June 2007 Posted: May 19 2008, 15:52 My kinda poll! The "Hippy Jesus" phase (early 70's), the early 80's shaggy dark blonde-ish creation, 90's hair (circa Amarok, Heaven's Open and TBII and of course, the "Voyager Years" are my personal favourite hairdos, but I don't think I could choose between them...

Tayniee Group: Members Posts: 132 Joined: April 2008 Posted: May 19 2008, 16:39 I agree, definately no.7, the Voyager era and by far the most sexy album of them all. -------------- As we all know, endings are just beginnings. Back to top

One of the great things about Tubular.net is how indulgent you all are when we gals need to release a bit of fangirlitis. It probably helps that - being intelligent, discerning, and refined ladies - after letting out a "He's so dreamy!" or two, we're once again ready to focus on the music for weeks at a time. Quote I think number ten suits him best. Looks sharp. The close-cropped cut looks surprisingly good on him and reveals a well-shaped head. If he ever tries a 'clotty', we could have a head-to-head poll for the two of them. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Next time I go to the hairdressers I'm going to try asking for a 'clotty' instead of a grade 1 and see what reation I get.   -------------- Clotty Back to top

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: May 20 2008, 03:04 Well I`ve just gone from a scruffy looking number 9 to a grade one number ten there myself.But in all honesty that`s just because I`m a lazy git and I can`t be chewed on to faff about with it. I actually quite like Mike`s boyish Incantations inner sleeve look there.Even if it does make him look a little bit like a sixties Shirley MacLaine.In fact now that I think about it that`s probably why I like it.Ok Shirley MacLaine it is and to hell with all the psychological re-percussions.

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: May 20 2008, 07:00 It's easier for me to vote on my non-favorites, like #1 and #4.Hippy Jesus seems to hide his beauty and nobody deserves that mullet from Heaven's Open era... But some hairdos you forgot to add on the list: -Discovery era. -Islands era -Light + Shade era -MOTS era. I voted for the Voyager hairdo,which fitted perfectly on the final product     As for the shaved hairdo,he once said on a interview in 2003 that it meaned a new phase in his life,since he was 50 then.It was hard to get used to,but he looks so nice on that! -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: May 20 2008, 07:19 Am I the only one (among the males here anyway) who thinks that none of the pictures look particularly flattering? I'm really not sure what to say when it comes to picking a favourite, although I will agree that number 4 is particularly unfortunate. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: May 22 2008, 06:05 Oh, goody - looks like I'm not the only one who digs the late 90s bleached style. I certainly find it more appealing on Mike than on Paul Weller. And, at his whitest, is there not a touch of 'Race Bannon'?? I don't think there's a bad 'do in the bunch, but I guess I go more for the mature look. 'Cause that's how I roll. Ooooo... I've been dying to use that phrase for months! -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: May 22 2008, 09:40 Correct!But Wikipedia shows a bald guy so still none the wiser. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 22 2008, 13:11 Quote (Bassman @ May 22 2008, 15:15) "Race Bannon".     @ Bassman: I never saw Jonny Quest, that series was never aired in Italy (Italian networks preferred airing sillier, more childlike Hanna-Barbera stuff). However - also @ Sweetpea - assuming that the picture on Wikipedia is correct, and assuming that both of you are referring to that character... well, I don't think his hairstyle looks like any one of Mike's. OK, his hair used to be white once, but it just didn't look like that. IMHO. @ Caveman: he's not bald, he's white-haired. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
