Probably in the minority, but Schulze. Haven't even heard "Mirage" or "X", which seem to be some huge favourites, but I still much prefer him to Mahavishnu. As commendable as their music is, it's not quite listenable enough and I get sick of the 70s fusion sound pretty quickly.

Actually a tough choice...I love Birds of Fire & Inner Mounting Flame, but with Mirage/Picture Music/X/Timewind Klaus gets the vote for sheer volume

Wow... They are so different... And each one is great in their own fields. I cannot and do not want to choose!

Has to be Schulze - Mahavishnu kicked ass, but it was rather a brilliant burnout, while Schulze was an innovator and had staying power.

Compared to Schulze, Mahavishnu Orchestra's existence was unfortunately too short...

Let's see shall we - MO has made one album I'm fond of in Apocalypse. Klaus has made over 20. Easy pick.

Mahavishnu, especially the Apocolypse and Visions albums.....I played the first two to death and only recently went back and rediscovered the Mach II MO.

I only have Schulze's first ten albums, but they are excellent.

easy vote for Schulze mainly for not being M.O.
I only heard one album from Schulze, Vic tried to get me into him some years ago, I liked it.
Much better (ie more interesting) than any M.O. albums. If not for Raff liking them, those albums would likely end up in the infamous album drink coaster section of prog albums that earn a special ire of mine.

Mahavishnu - I have always been a fan of 70s JRF and always will be.

Strange pairing to vote for...........I'll go with MO....always loved the first 3 or 4 albums....and Schulze to me is another version of TD.... and though I like TD they don't work me up like good fusion does.

Schulze is hard to rate for me, I'm terribly bored by most of his work most of the time but in the rare moments when I'm not I find it truly great. Mahavishnu I respect a lot though it's not my taste usually. I think it's a draw for me, none of these dominates the other.

Rather surprised to see Klaus in the lead tbh
I thought MO would've walked right over him.

All the MO-material I genuinely enjoy combined can fit comfortably within just one out of countless favorite Schulze-tunes.
