It's exactly what it sounds like! Legendary fusion act. Obviously Romantic Warrior, but this is one of the few bands were pretty much every record entry offers something. Discuss! ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

| Well, Romantic Warrior is THE RTF album. I used to have a few LP’s of theirs, but I only enjoyed RW, I got rid of the others (the debut, Hymn and Where Have I....). I haven’t heard the other titles though. |

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. |

Where Have I Known You Before - this is the album that established the classic RTF group and the classic RTF sound. .  |

Romantic Warrior Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy Where Have I Known You Before Light as a Feather ------------- "Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar." |

| Another poll where I could be happy with any choice on the list. I love Chick Corea's jazz concept, and specially his compositional style, so again, no vote from me. |

Romantic Warrior. My first RtF album. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

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!) ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

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. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I can't even think of an example of his work that I don't like. Some of the best! ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

Hymn of The Seventh Galaxy has always been my favorite......mostly due to After The Cosmic Rain...a killer track. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

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. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

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 Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
