Boooooring. I think Eno is better at self-promotion with intellectual pretense than music itself.

The less pretentious material (eg U2) is - for me - way better. Bowie? The ‘experimental’ tracks are a weak rehash of the krautrock of the time. Tangerine Dream run rings around them.

I own all the TD albums up to White Eagle, along with several bootlegs. I saw them at York Minster in the 1970s. I also am the BDFL of the ardour.org project, where releases are named after chronologically ordered Eno albums.

I see no reason to make comparisons between their work, which are quite different in affect, goal, and production methodology.
