A Love Supreme Is my fave too. These three albums are distinctly different. Giant Steps is very much what most people come to associate with coltrane's style: slightly free-form and very "modal". Blue Train is really bluesy and probably the most accessible of all his work. A Love Supreme is beyond definition, very spiritual and transcendental.
