I just can't believe it hasn't happened yet. Mr. Mike Oldfield is one of our greatest musicians ever. His Music is one of the brightest references for present and future generations.

Ok, I would understand: Tubular Bells is not enough. In fact, it's far from being his best work. But with such albums as Ommadawn, Incantations, Platinum, QE2, Five Miles Out, Discovery… Over forty years making music so diverse as to influence so many musicians… So many Nr 1 hits… I can't believe he hasn't been inducted yet.

As new-age music pioneer, he has commercial success in his peak time. I think he deserves but he will never get in.
