I honestly don't have a poor Kate Bush album....how good is that?

I was considering doing my personal ranking but I can't. Oh what the hell but I'm putting stuff on tiers:  Top to bottom: The Dreaming, Aerial, Hounds Of Love
Never For Ever, 50 Words For Snow, Sensual World
The Red Shoes, Lionheart, The Kick Inside
Nothing set in stone at all.

Nonsense, it means only that I enjoy her other albums more.
What's your last place Kate album, Mr Music taste Judge? 
|
Well Mr Cloth Ears. 
Of course you're right, as only you could be. I don't have a last place KB album I just love Aerial so much I cannot see it as being less enjoyable than all the rest.

I meant to mention how that album is sort a cousin of PG III (Melt). I haven't read about it anywhere but I think it may have inspired her to go weird and dark with The Dreaming because it really was a radical change in musical direction.

I may have to get my hands on Kate's Bush one of these days. Never bought an album of hers  Think I'll start at one end and see what's what. I seem to remember being recommended a kick inside by Jim. No karate ones this time pal!

its all a matter of taste. Aerial doesn't really hold together well as complete thing in my book although I do love the individual songs which is why I would rank it higher. I think his list is looking at her albums in a different way. Thats cool. |
I know  One day you'll see the error of your ways!

My favourite is Hounds Of Love. Covers all the bases and immaculate in every single sense (song,performance and production)

Don't know if you read this, but Kate said he strolled into the studio and laid it down in one session without any prior knowledge of the song. Pretty impressive vocal.
|
That's also my choice. I terribly fell in love with it (I fell in love with the whole album, actually, but this song is my top) followed by Snowflake. |
I'm going with this too, Wheeler Street followed by Snowflake. I have to listen to it more, though, to have something to say on the rest of the tracks.

^^ A cracking good album indeed, Chris S. It is hard to pick an individual track, from what I perceive to be a concept album. I went for the slightly weird, "Misty", with it's dream-sequence lyrics and rather controversial subject matter. The whole album is beautiful musically, and calls for a quiet moment with the head-phones. I personally think this is Kate's best album yet.

Plenty of snow in this neck of the woods for the high priestess to have her new album spun In this order Snowflake Snowed In Ar Wheeler Street Among Angels Wild Man Lake Tahoe 50 Words For Snow Misty I have one small criticism for this album and was wondering if anyone else shares this view....I find certain choruses/lines so damn hard to not repeat and repeat long after the album has ended. No other Bush album foes this except maybe " Kick Inside' Overall a cracking good album

It is deliberately a little silly. I like number 50 the best.

My Kate preference order is somewhat bizarre to most. The order of the middle 3 is somewhat mobile.
Kick Inside
Lionheart
Dreaming
50 Words
Never For Ever
Red Shoes
Hounds
Sensual World
Aerial |
Quite different from mine anyway. I haven't heard Aerial yet, Sensual World and Hounds are #2 and #3 in my book, The Dreaming has two sides (I heard it once long ago, but I remember I preferred side 2 far above side 1) and I gave Red Shoes (5 good songs vs 7 that turn me off) a 2 star rating.

50 Words is a bit too new for me to rank amongst albums I have known for many years. I still put Hounds at the top. But I know Finn likes her first two much more than I do and I like Aerial more than he does. 50 wouldn't be a bad starting point for sure.
