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.

^ Agreed, it's a brilliant album.

Good man, and I'm a Davis and Coltrane fan myself (see my sig).

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. Smile

Since you asked: you're strange...

I too voted for Crossings with Mwandishi close behind... and Sextant is a masterpiece too! Smile
