| Probably in the minority, but Schulze. Haven't even heard "Mirage" or "X", which seem to be some huge favourites, but I still much prefer him to Mahavishnu. As commendable as their music is, it's not quite listenable enough and I get sick of the 70s fusion sound pretty quickly. |

Mahavishnu Orchestra - often imitated NEVER duplicated.

Actually a tough choice...I love Birds of Fire & Inner Mounting Flame, but with Mirage/Picture Music/X/Timewind Klaus gets the vote for sheer volume  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Wow... They are so different... And each one is great in their own fields. I cannot and do not want to choose! ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent." Charles Bukowski |

Has to be Schulze - Mahavishnu kicked ass, but it was rather a brilliant burnout, while Schulze was an innovator and had staying power. -------------

Compared to Schulze, Mahavishnu Orchestra's existence was unfortunately too short... ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqf2srRfppHAslEmHBn8QP6d_eoanh0eW" rel="nofollow - My compositions |

Let's see shall we - MO has made one album I'm fond of in Apocalypse. Klaus has made over 20. Easy pick. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

Mahavishnu, especially the Apocolypse and Visions albums.....I played the first two to death and only recently went back and rediscovered the Mach II MO. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

 easy vote for Schulze mainly for not being M.O.  I only heard one album from Schulze, Vic tried to get me into him some years ago, I liked it. Much better (ie more interesting) than any M.O. albums. If not for Raff liking them, those albums would likely end up in the infamous album drink coaster section of prog albums that earn a special ire of mine. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Strange pairing to vote for...........I'll go with MO....always loved the first 3 or 4 albums....and Schulze to me is another version of TD.... and though I like TD they don't work me up like good fusion does. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Schulze is hard to rate for me, I'm terribly bored by most of his work most of the time but in the rare moments when I'm not I find it truly great. Mahavishnu I respect a lot though it's not my taste usually. I think it's a draw for me, none of these dominates the other. |

Rather surprised to see Klaus in the lead tbh I thought MO would've walked right over him. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

All the MO-material I genuinely enjoy combined can fit comfortably within just one out of countless favorite Schulze-tunes. -------------
