Mahavishnu all the way.  That song is deadly.

Tough decision. I like 'em all, therefore I have selected them ultimately. For today I'm really enjoying Nucleus, so that's my choice.

It isn't. 
It's just a random song off one of his most boring albums.

How on earth is one of the prime examples of modal scaled Bop listed as a choice in a fusion poll? 
Kind of Blue is infamous for being one of the few consistent albums to feature on the top 100 without having even the slightest resemblance to prog or fusion for that matter.

Beware The Ides Of March - did Colosseum steal this song - A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum) and Toccata and Fugue (JSB)?

Return to Forever Sorceress
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Quite a formidable septet of tunes! And Jan Hammer's on two of those.

So, every mentioned songs are inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach.
