Haven't listened to these in a while to be quite honest, but they're are all great records, especially from this specific era of Miles. I really like On The Corner - dirty, dirty record - In A Silent Way is another favourite. Probably going to go with IAW - just behind Bitches for my favourite Miles.

Get Up With It has the most variety, this album influenced Brian Eno, especially "He Loved Him Madly" "Calypso Frelimo" is a slab of jazz funk.
"Rated X" is a forerunner to drum and bass. even some straight ahead blues rock, and smooth jazz styles are on this. |

No Big Fun because he was already in the first poll (along with Bitches Brew).

My nod to Jack Johnson was just even up the voting at (currently) five each...guess you'll have to listen to each of them!
My advice: start with In a Silent Way and move forward in chronological order. it's the easiest way to make sense of Davis' more radical later stuff (On the Corner)

Out of these, Get Up With It, but it is only my second favorite Miles. My absolute favorite is Big Fun.

In a Silent Way is my favorite Miles, so gotta go with it.

In A Silent Way first, because **Spoiler alert** themes reappear in Jack Johnson, which should be bought at the same time as IASW anyway as the first two to pick up. Then Get Up With It.

I'm Jack Johnson -- heavyweight champion of the world! I'm black! They
never let me forget it. I'm black all right; I'll never let them forget
it.
