I like the Softs, but Weather Report at the height of their powers was a moving fortress.

The Soft Machine takes my vote, but I must admit that Weather Report is quite amazing.

I only really like the Vitous-era of Report (the first three & the double live)... Don't care that much for the Alphonso Johnson albums (2), and TBH, I really have difficulties with Jaco at the bass (he overdoes everything by tons)
 
 
So it's The Machine by a light year.

Das Machine 
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

From watching a 1970 concert of the Spft, they to me can compete with the best and well renown jazz fusion bands in the US in both groove, melodicisme and band interplay. So who to you carry the heavyest stick in creating the wildest fusion of jazz,rock and what ever.

lets concentrste on the Soft between 60s anf 70s and Weather Report in 70s.

whos yout favs?
