Are you doing separate polls for Chick's solo electric albums, the CCEB and Chick's solo piano records?

Probably. It will go in eras for his solo material, but there will be an Elektric Band poll. I have yet to delve into his solo piano stuff much, so that might come after I've listened a bit. Or who knows? Maybe I'll do it beforehand to get an idea of which ones I should listen to first.

Lots of HeartHeartHeart on my account for this beauty (way beyond RTF):



(I wonder where it is on PA's ranking  Pinch LOL  (half) joking...  Tongue ).


Listen to the upbringing Theme To The Mothership, what a beautiful song... with that sort of maritime (or space) ship, trip and/or adventure-starting motive..  fix on the bass.

Yup. His and theirs classic.

I think you're wrong (especially about LAAF), but it's your right to be wrongTongueWink
They desrrved to be here

Hymn for me.
Yeah I don't get it. To me there's no real solo album feel to any of them. Also I much prefer these to anything in the poll. But I like Where Have I Known You Before too so it got my vote. I find Romantic Warrior plain awful and it represents everything that went/was wrong with this sort of "mainstream fusion" in the mid-to late 1970's. Soulless, sterile w**kery.

I respect your opinion but it's wrong. There is nothing sterile or soulless about "Romantic Warrior". It opened the fusion door for me. I find the album oozes with extra soul.

Where Have I Known You Before (1974)

I find Romantic Warrior more Progressive but also more polished, synthetic and Pop-influenced.

Actually, I see similar trend in the mainstream '80's Jazz-Rock/Fusion as in Neo-Prog comparing to 70's Progressive Rock, and that is getting (more) synthetic and Pop-influenced.

I respect your wrong opinion as well, so we're all being very respectful here:)

And I find "soulless", not the same verve as in the '70s, also to be a good characteristic.

Chick Corea's best music happened before he started Return to Forever.

Chick's music was brilliant all through his career. One of his last projects, Trilogy, is amazing.

On the other hand, some of the Jazz-Rock/Fusion around the world included elements of traditional and regional classical music with very fine results.
