Love both but RTF has many more great albums than MO. Listening to "Inner Mounting Flame" as I write this.

RTF definitely, even though I just heard 3 of their albums. From MO also 3. MO is too noisy, while experimental in a good way, for me. RTF is what I would say a perfect Jazz Fusion band

RTF pales in comparasin to the almightly Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Cobham > White
McLaughlin > DiMeola
Laird > Clarke
Hammer = Corea
Goodman > ...Flora Purim?

A friend recently offered me the Return To Forever's Anthology, and so I am currently into RTF more than Mahavishnu Orchestra. Both are great but I have a small preference for Corea's band.

Rick Laird is better than Stan Clarke? Really? No offense, but Rick Laird was a VERY mediocre bass player, and was really outclassed by the rest of the group IMHO. Mahavishnu Orchestra had some deadly tunes, but Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy gets my vote for best fusion album ever, so it is apparent where my preference lies!

I've heard both Mahavishnu albums and Romantic Warrior from RTF.
RTF are good, but the album never really won me over fully. Both Mahavishnu albums are excellent, on the other hand.

Return To Forever, but damn, that really was a hard choice. Corea won it for me though with his utterly SPOTLESS and beautiful playing.
