Top 10 Tuesday! Take The Miles Davis Challenge!

So what is the Miles Davis Challenge? Here's how it works. You name your favorite Miles Davis recording, one from each decade. Here's the catch: There are so many great recordings from 60s-80s that it makes it tough to pick just one. So, for one ONE decade you can pick TWO favorites. If you reply to this blog post, I'll post all results. So, are you up for the Miles Davis Challenge? Here's some results so far:
