 Topic: Favorite Return to Forever Record?
Posted: March 31 2018 at 02:23 |
It's exactly what it sounds like! Legendary fusion act. Obviously Romantic Warrior, but this is one of the few bands were pretty much every record entry offers something.
Discuss!

Well, Romantic Warrior is THE RTF album. I used to have a few LP’s of theirs, but I only enjoyed RW, I got rid of the others (the debut, Hymn and Where Have I....). I haven’t heard the other titles though.

First one, no hesitation, the second. Desert island's records.

I'm not sure whether I really find that Light of a Feather is their strongest album, but it's something very special to me and it seems very underrated around here.

Where Have I Known You Before - this is the album that established the classic RTF group and the classic RTF sound. .

The Chick Corea album because of the vocals of Flora Purim.

My second favorite for sure. Great early morning music without a doubt! I love me some RTF.

Another poll where I could be happy with any choice on the list. I love Chick Corea's jazz concept, and specially his compositional style, so again, no vote from me.

Voted for WHIKYB? But it's really a tie with RW.

Voted RW but I'm also a big fan of MusicMagic and the triple live album with drummer Gerry Brown. (I happen to LOVE Gayle Moran's voice!)

Same here, but Flora is probably one of the main reasons why I'm about as fond of Light as a Feather. I also think the music in itself is more vital or uniquely creative on their first two albums.

Well, when I heard that Chick Corea album for the first time and heard her voice I thought: "Yes, this is indeed a flying bird" (like on the cover of the album), which is why this album was always special to me.

I can't even think of an example of his work that I don't like. Some of the best!

Hymn of The Seventh Galaxy has always been my favorite......mostly due to After The Cosmic Rain...a killer track.
