I love everything MILES. Meaning, I have a great interest in who Miles was, and what he was doing. Everything. But for how fascinated I am I don't take any critic claim to heart. This obsession I have started in 1980, when I was 16 and to this day, it has continued to grow. I take it seriously and I couldn't pick a top 10, 20, or best of. For me, Miles is the greatest. And I'll hold it right there.✌

[@mr.jazzfusionhiphop1298]

As a self proclaimed Miles fanitic for over 50 years and with over 400 titles of regular issued releases and sound board quality shows I'm glad I'm not the only one out there. I had the opportunity to see Miles over ten times while growing up in NYC. I too could not pick a top Ten or any other number. Miles is the Man, the Myth and the Legend all in one.

[@alansenzaki4148]

Nice rundown Ken. I always like to hear different viewpoints on Miles. I love all his stuff!

[@vinylrules4838]

Hi Ken, I love your passion coming through when talking about these Miles records. I would like to see videos like this of your favorite lps of other artists.

[@kgobrien1]

Very entertaining picks. The fact that you included so many LP's where Miles was in transition shows how he restless he was and constantly exploring. Looking forward to the second part.

Great stuff Ken. Getting excited about the next lot.

[@mazzysmusic]

Love seeing your take on your top Miles records. Everyone has such different tastes looking forward to part two. . Cool 😎

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

Thanks Norman

[@tommymaguire2839]

@@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 and @Norman Maslov ......love you guys. I look forward to both of your clips the same way that I anticipated watching the Midnight Special on Friday nights in 1977. Thanks guys.

[@markduric7812]

Both wonderful VC contributors! I have the midnight specials on DVD. Cheers!

[@janpoelkamp4229]

Hi, Ken! Cool clips! My lovely wife surprised me with that huge Columbia cd box set, so it’s great to see this. Glad you left out Kind Of Blue. Not a knock on the album, but his catalogue in general deserves to be highlighted more than that one.

[@Localbandography]

E.S.P. is my number 1. Filles De Kilimanjaro probably number 2. Great stuff so far Ken. Looking forward to part 2.

[@fts81]

In a silent way was my second Miles’ record, after I bought KOB. But it is the one that really revealed his genius to me. Then I got the full sessions. One of the few CDs care to listen to. Thanks, Ken

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Nice one Ken.

[@user-rw9rm8wr2g]

Thanks Ken for Miles lp rewiews

[@JuanGarcia-kv7yv]

Great job man!! Would be fantastic if you could list them out....

[@jamesyoung1507]

Love all of Miles's catalog. Love your take.

[@stayoutofmyhouse]

Glad that Nefertiti got a quick mention! Gotta be my favorite Miles cut. The hardest of hard-bop, such masterful musicianship. Great list Ken.

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

It’s my number one record.

[@WordsRuinMusic]

You already showed two of my number ones. ;)

[@dcrook232323]

Good stuff bud; both Part I & II.

[@DaveMichalakChannel]

I Love your Passion. Man!

[@garygray9223]

Great Video! I’ve studied my Miles, ready for part two. You’re 10 for 10 in my book. Curious .....BB, Nefertiti, Mikes Ahead , Milestones or any records from his post hiatus?

[@Budgetphile]

Someday my prince will come is definitely a transitional album in every way but I sort of disagree with the idea that it is a step back. Teo with Trane is a step forward and feels almost like something off of Ole Coltrane.

[@williamsizemore5576]

Great insight on Miles Davis.Long live old Thorens.

[@irawong]

YES!!! - “Four and More!”

[@julianvicentegonzalezbueno9625]

It's always tough to make a Miles top 20, but it could be mine. At least today

Who gives a thumbs down to a Top 20 list? Baffling. So glad to see you posting videos more regularly. You gave me some great ideas for LPs I am not familiar with. Cheers! 👽🖖"Na-nu"

[@JerryAttric42]

it's all personal taste, of course. and i wouldn't even try to rate my favorite Miles albums. but with one exception: the Milestones album (1958) has got to be on my list.

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

that is my #4

[@reisserjean-michelakabeeth8551]

About the album MILES on Prestige, you have the first pressing. When Miles saw the cover in green, he was pissed off because he didn't like green color. So, for the second pressing, they changed into blue color.

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

ahhh. Thank you sir.

[@craigbroadfoot1851]

A bit silly leave out his most famous album, presumably because it’s too ‘popular’..

[@blackknight7017]

Bitches Brew is my number 1. I bought the 8 track the day it was released.

[@rickg8015]

Miles never really put out a bad record throughout his career, IMHO.. BTW, looks like you have the new Direct Drive reissue of the TD-124.. How do you like it compared to the early idler-belt drive version?

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

Thanks, I have and compare the two yet. There will be a review in Stereopphile magazine.

[@Captain_Rhodes]

some day my prince will come is from the snow white cartoon

[@chriskitsopoulos9851]

Jack jonhnson is my favour one

[@lucillechilds9767]

I think my favorite album by Miles has to be Prestige 7150 Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants it has all the greats on there Milt Jackson, Monk, Heath, Clarke, Coltrane, Red Garland, Chambers, Philly Joe Jones in 1959

[@Steve-cn3nj]

one of my favorites two !

[@Steve-cn3nj]

too

[@ShivasIrons22]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but holy crap does this list suck. Thanks for saving me the time to watch the other part - and for the hearty laugh.

New Thorens?

New Thorens TD124 DD, reviewing at Stereophile.

Couldn’t follow along with all the records being shown and not mentioning what number we were on.... But nice collection you have there

[@HarveyPekarsGhost]

The numbers are shown onscreen

[@mikewinburn]

@@HarveyPekarsGhost - I did see a few numbers for sure... but I saw manyore album covers than numbers... so just found it a bit difficult to discern if the album on screen was a favorite or not... But, either way, it was great to see all the selections and opinions on the titles

@@mikewinburn nope, 21 records, #21-#1.

[@mikewinburn]

​@@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455 - hardly my place to comment a disagreement, doctor. I did enjoy what i watched... that said, what number was the first album you were holding at the beginning ( Miles : the new miles davis quintet)? what number was "In a Silent Way"? what number was "Live - Evil"? okay...see what i mean? i could list all the albums you showed with no number... but that would be an unhelpful assnine move... I'm just trying to say, i engaged looking for the top "20" (even though the list started at 21 ;) ), and trying to figure out what number on your list the cover being showing occupied was hard to follow for me. why not put the full list in the comment section - that would be cool for some of us dullards :) still... i appreciate the efforts and your video.

[@janpoelkamp4229]

I don’t think it’s that much of a big deal. I like the ‘magazine’ approach, going in debt about certain albums while showing others inbetween (‘and don’t forget this one!’). Kinda like the non-linear approach.
