* FaceOfTheBand: For the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Their first album was even credited to ''The Mahavishnu Orchestra with John [=McLaughlin=]''. He disliked this, and when the band turned up at a venue where his name was on the marquee as well as the band's name, he'd have his name removed.

* FirstInstallmentWins: The first two Mahavishnu Orchestra albums (some fans will also throw in ''The Lost Trident Sessions'', which was recorded slightly thereafter but not released until much later) are their most acclaimed overall and probably McLaughlin's most acclaimed records as bandleader, full stop. They weren't actually McLaughlin's first records in the latter category, however; ''Extrapolation'' was released under his name a couple years earlier. When you consider how long his career has lasted, though, that makes them still very nearly a case of this trope.

* AwesomeMusic: Lots of it. It is worth pointing out that even the normally prog-averse Robert Christgau gave glowing reviews to much of the Mahavishnu Orchestra's output.
