TOP ALBUM PICK:
Kind of Blue, Miles Davis
How does one properly gauge impact? There’s no smouldering crater in the case of Kind of Blue, Miles’ melancholy, modal-jazz masterwork. The 1959 disc didn’t arrive with a thunderous clap, yet four decades later, at the end of the millennium, there it was at the top of any and all “best of” lists, nudging aside so many rock, pop and hip-hop recordings.

TOP ALBUM PICK:
A Love Supreme
I first heard "A Love Supreme" when I was a teenager. I don’t know if I was ready for "A Love Supreme" until I got to be in my late teens, where I could really feel the power of it and even though I was an atheist and not a man of faith or even thinking about believing in God or a divine concept I felt the spirituality of it without knowing it. It's like one of the things in life that you can’t really articulate or understand but it’s still there for you in whatever language you are able to use to understand it. You hear those first notes and it’ll blow your head off with the sheer power. That record works on so many levels.
