Oh this got less votes that I thought. Herbie deserves better.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 22:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Plus I accidentally left Empyrean Isles off the list. If you wanna do another one, maybe with fewer albums, be my guest.

Damn I didn't see this. "Future Shock" would have deserved one more vote. I love the winner too though.
― Geir Hongro, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
I've done one poll already today, so It would be better if you went for it Tuomas, so people don't complain I did 2. (finish it the same time as miles though please)
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 22:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Nah, I'd feel silly doing the same poll twice. It's up to you if you wanna do a new one.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 22:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Ok I'll do it and just hope I dont miss anything out. I'll use wikipedia as my get out clause..
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 22:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I could login under my pfunkboy account to avoid the 2 polls in one day thing but i'd be fooling no one. I'll do a 60s/70s/80s Herbie Hancock poll.
― Herman G. Neuname, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 22:17 (sixteen years ago) link
The list I did here is pretty comprehensive, I checked both Allmusic and Discogs for it. Maybe you can just drop off the more obscure albums?

too late! Best Herbie Hancock (As Leader) Album Poll of 1960s/70s/80s era. I just took from Wikipedia.

thrust is so much better than headhunters

i wonder which has inspired worse music (bad versions of Chameleon vs. jam bands where the bassist plays too many notes and the drummer never hits a 2 or 4)
― Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 19:05 (sixteen years ago) link
MIKE CLARK AND PAUL JACKSON NEVER PLAYED TOO MANY NOTES.
― chaki, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 19:08 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm not saying that
― Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 19:09 (sixteen years ago) link
i just mean that style can be a bad influence (like my brief thrust phase in college where every backbeat was displaced and every fill was over the barline lol)
― Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 19:11 (sixteen years ago) link
btw, one of my favorite live shows ever was mike clark's touring band from around 2001. the lineup was:
mike clark paul jackson larry goldings bill summers fred wesley skerik
i know, right?
― Jordan, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 19:12 (sixteen years ago) link
daaaaamn!
― chaki, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 19:15 (sixteen years ago) link
not many voters in this was there?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 17:13 (twelve years ago) link
Am I just missing Empyrean Isles here? Because that's the best one.
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Thursday, 5 February 2015 00:34 (nine years ago) link
This one needed more voters.

nah maiden voyage > empyrian isles
― brimstead, Thursday, 5 February 2015 01:57 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I accidentally omitted Empyrean Isles from this poll, but Kerr did anoher poll later on that included only the 60s/70s/80s albums:
Best Herbie Hancock (As Leader) Album Poll of 1960s/70s/80s era.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 5 February 2015 10:46 (nine years ago) link
I feel like Hancock and Sun Ra are the two big jazz boys I know the least about. Would love to find out more, but their discogs feel significantly more sprawling and less easily defined when compared to, say, Miles.
