I'll be the first brave one to choose the "don't know any of them" option. I have Headhunters and Thrust and have been planning on getting into more Herbie material, with these three on the list.

I loved Headhunters, and so dived right into this trilogy. Being a Davis and Coltrane fan, these three were distinctly quite a bit more difficult to digest. I don't feel like I have a handle on any of them, really. So I'm voting the can't decide option, wuss that I am. But you know what? I'll put them all on now.

It's difficult for me to choose one. Amazing.
I hope this poll will encourage some who may not yet have caught the Herbie lovebug to check out these albums. I don't care if one is into melodic prog, or whatever, check it out.
I'm a little sad that it took me so long to really explore Herbie Hancock's work (in my progressive journey, I always lag well behind others -- after years of mostly leaving music behind due to to a dominant passion for film , I had a heck of a lot of catching up to do).

Crossings and Sextant are really almost at the same level. But I pick up Sextant a little bit over
Crossings.

Since you asked: you're strange... I too voted for Crossings with Mwandishi close behind... and Sextant is a masterpiece too!
