Return to Forever (dance, funk, jazz, pop, rock)

I'd actually say the exact opposite. Light as a Feather (along with the vast majority of Chick Corea's solo stuff) is dated as fuck and just foul in general.

I don't want to claim that RTF were the greatest jazz band ever; the early works were very derivative of Mahavishnu Orchestra and their later ones pandered to popular demand more than anything else. Overall they're still a great band and their records from the mid-seventies survive as a testament of the force of good jazz fusion.
