Question Is Miles Davis the greatest ever?

A lot of people think he is and others think he isn't. I happen to think he is is. The Kind of Blue album was just spectacular. He brought in the best people on that album and it shows as I think it's the best Jazz album ever made. What do you think of Miles Davis and Kind of Blue?

I know back in the day anything Miles Davis did was copied by his millions of fans. My dad was telling me how whatever Miles Davis wore, he wore. He's a big jazz fan and I know Miles is his favorite.

i really like Miles Davis but theres alot of other greats too. Coltrane, herbie Han****, Dizzy Gillespie, and Duke Ellignton to name a few. But My persoanl favorite jazz bandwould probobly have to be the Alpha boys.

i'll go a step further and say he was the greatest american musician there ever was!!!!
Without Miles there would be no Satriani, no Vai, or no good music for that matter!!!
