Lots of great discussion. I'm pretty consistent with my love of Miles Davis across eras. Gun to my head, I'll say electric, mostly because you can really hear the stark stylistic shifts, whereas his "classic" period's innovation is extremely subtle.
That said, Bitches Brew and Milestones are my two favorite Miles Davis albums.
Speaking of favorite albums... Check out my list! I'm relatively new and I don't have a lot of ratings and would love more feedback.
Miles went through a number of major evolutionary shifts, and the dividing lines aren't always distinct.
I have been loving Filles de Kilimanjaro, which is sort of transitional between classic and electric. Although evolutionary rather than revolutionary, it's still a fully realized bit of excellence in its own right.

Agree! Have you heard the Live in Europe 1969: Bootleg Series V.2 set? The same band that plays on a majority of Kilimanjaro -- a transitional lineup and material.

I’ve got over 20 Miles albums, but that isn’t one of them. (The man was quite prolific!)
I’ll have to check that out.
Bitches brew was a godsend one morning for me last year. I haven't driven a car very often in the last 8 years and i have extreme problems with sound and being out in public and i have been living with it all my life so my brain is pretty fucked up.
Also, when i have been up for more than 14 to 16 hours, i get into a state where i really shouldn't be driving but i had to drive somewhere one morning and i was tired and my eyes and my brain weren't on the same wavelength so i drank one of those energy coffees but it wasn't helping and luckily the only cd i brought with me was a mix and it had the title track on it and it helped me out, big time. The rest of it was probably idm.
Like the understatement of you sticking the word "quite" in there!

The set's excellent, two CDs and a DVD of a third concert. I have nine bootlegs of this "Lost Quintet" tour, and though they chose the best-sounding shows for the set, the music on some of other boots is incredible, my favorite acoustic Miles (semi-acoustic -- Corea's playing electric piano). Wayne Shorter's playing on those particular boots is phenomenal, the most advanced tenor playing I've ever heard, except some Coltrane. It's almost free, without ever raising his "voice." And Corea destroys that early electric piano.
