The Anti-Stereotyping List (16 person items)

"What the closed minded say: He was a racist, and part time drug addict. Why listen to someone that hates white people? Yawn...I had to live with this for my last few years living at home. Thank god Miles Davis entered my life when I was maturing, cause the people around me sure didn't. My whole thinking of music changed forever when I heard Miles' trumpet leading over a fleet of instruments, but that wouldn't stop people from constantly coming up with excuses to try and make me hate him.

"It's not that Miles is bad. Quite the oppoite actually, he's incredibly talented. It's just that I'm so freakin sick of people listening to "Kind of Blue", ignorantly declaring it the best jazz album ever, and refusing to look any further into the genre. Fuckers"

Musicians that changed my life (9 person items)

"As a child I never listened to Jazz, nor was I ever given the chance to experiment with it. By the time I was 19 years old, my life was changing as I was maturing and I had found Miles Davis' classic album "Kind of Blue" to not only be a great Jazz album, but an album that organized music together. This man accomplished a lot in his life time, and I think his creativity should never be over looked. The course of his career he was always trying new things and never caring what anyone thought of"
