I'm always puzzled to see when once super popular artists and their works seem to have ceased from the public (including enthusiasts) entirely. There've been different flavours of this phenomenon.

One of them I'd like to call the "Phil Collins effect". At some point in time it became fashionable to be embarrassed by ever having listend to his music at all. Ha! As if he hadn't been an ingenious drummer and influencer of popular music for decades! Then there is the "Wolfgang Petry effect", something completely unknown to any non-German (maybe except for @castalla). Nobody ever listend to Wolfgang Petry. Nobody. His albums never made it to top chart rankings (until fully automated charting systems could no longer hide the truth).

I'm not going to make this a complete list, but just complain why so little music by Mike Oldfield is found in this thread. Five MIles Out is just one of many incredibly great albums. Maybe it's the best. Ask me tomorrow and my answer might differ, though.

Rega P6 (modified to use P8 pulley), Rega Nd7, Aiyima T3PRO, WiiM Amp Ultra, Radiant Acoustics Clarity 6.2.

I have played a few albums from Mike Oldfield, and posted them in this thread.

Thanks for the recommendation of Five Miles Out, I’m playing it now, and liking it so far.

My second album is from Wolfgang Petry.

Streaming via Amazon, the last album I posted about has suggested numerous 'related artists' I wasn't familiar with. All have a heavy psychadelic rock, sometimes proggy, doomy flavour, music that I am very partial to (& starting to work my way through)

This one's reminiscent of Black Sabbath Vol 4....

Listening to Radio Paradise Mellow Mix, I just heard a song from Agnes Obel, and liked what I was hearing, so my third album today is from Agnes Obel.

Yes, '57 was a very good year for me too !!
& '75 was the year I saw the Who twice, Zeppelin at Earls Court & Genesis at the Empire Pool (but Lamb Lies Down is my least favourite of the (best) Gabriel era). I also started canal boating as a student, something I continue to do to this day.
