Romantic over Hymn And Where 
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Plenty of excellent albums to choose from here. Historically I would have gone for Romantic Warrior but lately it has to be Return To Forever. Light, airy, refreshing, and brimming with good vibes. Plus, the vocals are such a sublime touch as others have mentioned.

Hymn of The Seventh Galaxy has always been my favorite......mostly due to After The Cosmic Rain...a killer track.

I can't even think of an example of his work that I don't like. Some of the best!

Same here, but Flora is probably one of the main reasons why I'm about as fond of Light as a Feather. I also think the music in itself is more vital or uniquely creative on their first two albums.

Well, when I heard that Chick Corea album for the first time and heard her voice I thought: "Yes, this is indeed a flying bird" (like on the cover of the album), which is why this album was always special to me.

Voted RW but I'm also a big fan of MusicMagic and the triple live album with drummer Gerry Brown. (I happen to LOVE Gayle Moran's voice!)

Romantic Warrior. My first RtF album.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

My second favorite for sure. Great early morning music without a doubt! I love me some RTF.

I'm not sure whether I really find that Light of a Feather is their strongest album, but it's something very special to me and it seems very underrated around here.
