I do think that Kind of Blue is overrated (sacrilege in the jazz world), but a lot of its greatness is contextual. Its an amazing album, i just don't like it That much. IMO A Love Supreme by John Coltrane is by far the biggest masterpiece in all of Jazz. an album conceptualized and arranged by Coltrane as an instrumental praise to god for turning his life around after he'd defeated his heroin and alcohol addiction. The album, again IMO, is perfect in every way, shape, and form and is easily one of the most beutiful pieces of music iv'e ever heard.
