Does Miles Davis belong in Prog?

Rednight, by referring to her, I think I am the only one here to be referred as her. I do not have a blog and you are not a nice person either.

Not too many people here on PA would know the difference between Mileys Cygnus and a pet armadillo 

Hmmmm... I think he meant Miley, Kati, not you.

They ARE actually playing it. ;-)

I just don't feel the "Rock" in Miles music like I do in Nucleus, Mahavishnu, RTF, and even Herbie.

Some good points here, Micky. Regarding your last paragraph: I've watched as PA has gradually expanded its borders by including groups like Queen, Led Zeppelin, Journey, etc., which had some albums with some prog-like songs. I, however, fail to hear this "progginess" in Miles Davis' music--not like I do in other artists mentioned above that have that "rock" feel like Nucleus, Mahavishnu, RTF, and Hancock and Metheny. I think by having 6 Miles albums occupy spots in the All-Time Top 250 studio albums list, PA is saying that Miles is prog--especially since those albums span a 20 year span. 

I think he is a jazz artist. Period. 

Benefit: 6 prog artists could have the spots now occupied by Kind of Blue (from 1959 for God's sake!), In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, Milestones (1958), A Tribute to Jack Johnson, and 'Round about Midnight (1957). 

Because Miles Davis didn't create the style of music found in Nucleus, Mahavishnu, RTF. and Herbie. He created new ideas for music that influenced  Mahavishnu and RTF to write a fusion style leaning more toward Rock..just as Tony Williams did with Alan Holdsworth on the Tony Williams Lifetime sessions. Miles Davis DID have a Rock feel about his music regarding some of his grooves and the accents placed upon them, but it was more in the shadows when compared to the mid to late 70's Fusion bands. Besides,..they weren't influenced by the Rock side or the fusing of Jazz and Rock together as much as they were with Miles Davis' ideas that felt like a religion. All his ideas from what he heard in his head were like a collection of unorthodox methods contained in a book.

 It was the ideas that influenced Weather Report and others to approach composition as they learned or were exposed to it in the Miles Davis school. That's why some Weather Report albums are atmospheric sounding in various pieces and creating an instrumental storytelling style to the album in it's entirety. On a Miles Davis recording, you would hear scattered improvisation , but once you thought that the album may have been just about that, the music would deceive you by changing a pattern and drifting off into some cosmic avant-garde soundscape. I believe Miles Davis influenced people to write differently rather than placing his influence in Jazz/Fusion. He was the innovator of Jazz Fusion , but also created ideas that musicians applied in their own music, but just in a different way. The listener wouldn't know if the idea had been created by Miles Davis. Music is not always that revealing and especially with an innovator like Miles Davis.

I am so embarrassed right now  

Rednight please accept my sincere apologies, I am a nincompoop and completely misunderstood who you were talking about.

I feel very bad and I am very sorry for typing that above.

You are a very nice person.  I would hug but don't think you are much impressed with me right now.
