Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
The lost quintet was so-named because Columbia failed to record them. The only "official" releases were recorded by Sony Japan (note that Sony did not own Columbia at that time, so there was no affiliation between the two companies). There are a ton of bootlegs worth checking out, however. Of course, one of the volumes of the Bootleg Series covers that period, but not extensively.
Isle of Wight 1970 is absolutely killer. The band is Gary Bartz, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. The DVD that contains the full performance has THE coolest walk-off I've ever seen a musician do:

"Kind of Blue" is what most call "modal bop" or some such - it is called that because the musicians were improvising over modes rather than chord progressions. I've heard the 2nd great quintet's music called "post modal bop". Whatever it's called, it is the least dated of Miles' acoustic eras, and continues to influence jazzers today. In my view, "Miles Smiles" is a notch above all of the other recordings by this band. The music allowed for more freedom outside of pre-determined chord structures. In other words, that band often went "out" without overtly appearing to do so. By the time the "lost quintet" was touring in 1969, the music sounded more "out" than ever.
As for 80s Miles, I'd say "We Want Miles" is essential (I will always contend that Mike Stern was more raunchy with Miles than Scofield was). From the Warner Brothers years, "Tutu" is considered essential as well.

Well jazz is known for mixing line-ups and sessions on the same discs... the concept of albums didn't exist (in any music style) in the sense that it started to emerge around 65 to 67
I love both Pangeae and Agharta, but they're both a result of the IASW, BB and OTC, right. And maybe we should discuss Black Magus as well, while we're at it??
So yeah, we're faced with a difficult exercise to compile Miles in a few (anywhere between 5 and 10) albums, as I seem to remember the OP...
Would Agharta deserve a spot in those 5? Certainly not IMHO... in the selection of 10, most likely (though this is again IMHO)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
OK, Lost Quintet is post BB
Never heard of Modal Bop, though, but yeah, this could fit KoB... moreso than the ESP/Smiles/Sorcerer/Nefertiti/Kilimanjaro era - I'm leaving out In The Sky for reasons evident to me, but maybe not everyone else >> I find it to be IASW's precursor or big brother - which I would more than likely call Post-bop, rather than Modal Bop (for me, Modal is best exemplified by Trane from Olé to A Love Supreme)
