Honestly, I'm posting in the wrong forum. Unless jazz is a "topic not related to music". I'm addicted to posting new threads, but too many new threads in a day would draw mods' attention, so I came up with a brilliant plan -- post one or two threads in each sub-forum, so it doesn't look like I created a lot of threads. |

A Love Supreme will certainly win, that is, unless Progfreak users suddenly rush in.

A Love Supreme. Never found a better jazz record anywhere. Plus, Kind of Blue is a bit too downbeat for most of it, and so I lose interest. I prefer Miles's Milestones or Tribute to Jack Johnson, anyways.

okay, next poll will be Giant Steps vs. In a Silent Way. I mean, someone's gotta let Miles Davis win for once.

Both fantastic,groundbreaking albums but 'A Love Supreme' just pips 'Kind of Blue' to the post by a nose...for want of a better analogy.

And posting deliberately in the wrong forum doesn't draw the mods' attention? Anyway, I voted for A Love Supreme. Kind of Blue sounds nice, but I've never understood what's so great about it. |

A Love Supreme reigns supreme. Love the album.

Sorry - got to buck the trend here - both wonderful albums, but for me, Kind Of Blue is not only the ultimate Mile Davis album, but the jazz album; mellow, loose yet tight, musicians all on the same wavelength...
I don't know how many times I've listened to this album, but I hear different nuances every time. Edited by Jim Garten - October 20 2009 at 10:39 |

No. Ha. I love jazz, but all those "complete recordings of" things look terrifying. |

'A Kind of Blue' for me, but I love so many Miles albums from this period (eg 'Round About Midnight', and 'Someday My Prince Will Come' are fantastic albums - but they rarely get a mention). ' A Love Supreme' is also a great album in every sense of the word. A close second for me would be, not Giant Steps but, My Favorite Things.
Writing this has made me realise that I must start listening to all my old Miles and Coltrane albums again!

Through a process of random selection, I chose Love Supreme. Both are excellent albums...if they had been up against Mingus' Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, though, both would have lost for me.

Love Supreme, but they really don't compare. Something like Olé Coltrane vs Sketches of Spain would have made sense. Or Out to Lunch - A Love Supreme.

Both of these albums are amazing. I would rather not choose, but I think I prefer A Love Supreme.

I both like two presented albums. And, I went to "Kind of Blue". "Expression" feels the album of John Coltrane ultimate in me. |

Both are amazing and essential. A Love Supreme feels like perfect expression the whole way through, a musical poem. I'm going with it.
