I need some advice of what fusion music to listen to.  I have heavy weather by weather report and like it-for the most part and mahavishnu orchestra's inner mounting flame which is also fairly good, I'm actually more of a prog fan (genesis, hackett, iq, rush, king crimson, yes, ect). so please, any ideas of albums i might like would be appreciated.

No doubt about that, but I do not think they are fusion at all.

Absolutely devine!
