Coltrane album recomendations?

I am interested in listening to a bit of Coltrane and I was wondering which studio album to start with. Studio album mind you, none of that greatest hits nonsense.

    'my favorite things' is, funny enough, my favorite coltrane album. that's got some great modal laid-back grooves on it, highly recommended. other popular coltrane works include 'giant steps,' 'a love supreme,' and 'blue train'

    the terrific Blues Album ... Ever! (2 CD w/ super blues songs) try Classical. exceptionally Violins. Schubert: The final 4 Quartets ( The Least Distracting For Me) Moby: hotel is likewise superb (sounds like turning on the television, do not could care what does it say)
