I'm not getting a feeling of poll deja vu with this one. So there are several I haven't heard yet, but many I have. Very hard to pick favorite. In A Silent Way perhaps. Electric without being noisy.

Same. Also Bitches's Brew is awesome too but still I prefer In A Silent Way. -------------

Get Up With It. You should include the overlooked Water Babies. Recorded 67-68, released in 76. Essential early fusion. -------------

A Tribute To JJ.
Dark Magus and At Filmore are close behind. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

In a Silent Way always seemed, to me, to be the most cohesive of his electric albums, and it is the album that got me into long form fusion and nu-jazz. So, that's where my vote goes. ------------- http://hanashukketsu.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - Hanashukketsu |

A Tribute to Jack Johnson is better than Bitches Brew IMHO -------------   MY IDOLS |

In almost every Davis topic I've cited Get Up With It as my favourite electric era Davis album, but of late I've been more into Big Fun, so Big Fun gets my vote. I know and like all of them, though up to Dark Magus (don't know the later ones). ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

Normally I´d probably go with Bitches Brew, but I´ve been looking through my old records lately, because I recently found a "Krautrock" album, which had been stocked away for years without me listening to it. Well I recently found Miles live at the Fillmore, and that record is entirely responsible for getting me into fusion in the first place. I remember listening to it in some music shop years ago. The listening "station" looked like a palm tree with 4 branches each providing different music to the customers. I stood between 2 girls who obviously were listening to some pretty funky stuff, because they were both dancing. Then my music started - and I immediately broke out laughing! I´d never heard anything remotely like it before(I was 16). Then those funky rhythms started to work and everything started making sense - in a funky jungle wilderness kind of way, and I started dancing too. I was this close to having scored 2 chicks, had it not been for them cracking completely up, when they removed their headphones and suddenly heard what was playing from mine Still one of my fave Miles albums, so a sentimental vote from me this time. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

In A Silent Way has always captivated me more than any other of Miles' electric albums, so I'm voting for that one. I'm also pretty fond of Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, and Get Up With It. However, I like almost everything that Miles has ever composed, so it's usually hard to pick a solid first choice in a poll like this.  ------------- http://www.youtube.com/user/ProgDrummerTony" rel="nofollow - My Prog Drum Covers |

| Bitches Brew is still my fav. This music always makes me think of a Picasso painting. |

I've always been partial to the live/studio mix of Live-Evil. Love McGlaughlin's live tracks. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Wow I'd completely forgotten about this poll. I evidently posted here in 2011...? Anyway if I could vote again, I'd give some love to Big Fun. Love that Indian vibe it's got going for it. Without a doubt the most psychedelic album Miles ever did. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| As much as I want to like Bitches Brew, it's good in parts but always comes down to noodling around for a long time. I prefer In A Silent Way. |
