Well it's all subjective, I bet a lot of artists would kill for an album as good as TRS. For me Lionheart was a typically rushed second album and is her poorest effort.
 

Yep Lionheart is her 'Works Vol 2' , a bunch of tracks that were not her absolute best. Neverthless it still has Wow , Oh England my Lionheart and Hammer Horror whereas Moments Of Pleasure for me is the only memorable track on TRS.

Mosh - chill!!!

This is, by far, one of the ugliest and saddest threads I have ever seen in my life on a board.

Any artist is a person, and you are not strong enough to stand up to the ugly criticism, that some folks have of your work, otherwise you would not spend your time saying anything about it.

For these people, this is their life ... and sometimes, it seems like for us, all there is, is a bunch of ugly comments because we want to feel as important as the artists themselves.

I am no Picasso, Beethoven of Kate Bush, or Peter Hammill ... and I am not jealous of any of them, and do not criticize their work because I like 50 Words for Snow, and do not exactly care for Heathcliff ... one of those novels and stories that for me ... just make me want to go to the bathroom!

It is just bizarre, that because of the internet, we have all become critics and love to trash anything and everything, which we think is the definition of the First Amendment ... you just wait until a certain President is through ... you are not going to like it, and by that time I hope I am not around to see its ugliness!

And the sad ugliness of just loving to trash others is perpetuated when what was supposed to be a musical discussion becomes just another launching pad for a political tirade.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I think I'm an outlier here, but I think Turbulence is his best. I was a little disappointed by his live album that followed it.

Oh, yeah - the Steve Howe album that did little to nothing for me up to this point was his Portraits of Bob Dylan, quite possibly his worst. Bought it when it first came out, played it, then immediately sold it down at the ol' used record/CD shop.

On my side of things The Dreaming!!! is listed as the best - I'm with richardh on worst.
