Kind of Blue being the accepted pinnacle of jazz recordings, I have a hard time not putting In A Silent Way ahead of it on my personal list.  I often listen to the two back-to-back.  Both have the same mood and feel to me, despite having completely different approaches (IASW being ‘electric Miles’).  Shhhh.......

About 1,000 Recordings

Celebrate the joy, the revelation, the mystery, the fun, the sheer shivers-up-the-spine pleasure of great music.

Essential operas. Milestone rock albums. An education in the blues. The world of world. Classical from Bach to Bartók to Beethoven to Brahms. And dozens of unexpected gems, surprising discoveries, and long-lost masterpieces.

This is an online version of the list (published alphabetically in the book). The entries in the book break down genre bias and broaden every listener’s horizons—think Miles Davis to Claude Debussy to the melodic story-songs of The Decemberists. And the writing is passionate, informed, opinionated.
