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.

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.

Oh come now mate, that's a dodge. If you made a Kate list, there has to be one at the bottom.....even if you like all of them, you're going to like the others more than the final entry on your list.

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.

OK, knowing Kate fans, I should have said.....if you could only take 8 Kate albums to the desert island, which one would you leave behindIn any case, I should not have sidetracked this into an album list thread...sorry. Forget the lists, let's get back to SNOW!!

thats pretty close to how I would rank them but would probably switch 1 and 2 round and also 6 and 7 round.Lionheart is not as 'cohesive' a work as SW imo.
As Chris suggest though they are at least good
Need more time to decide where 50 Words For Snow should be . At the moment my gut feeling is 4 or 5.

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'

Certainly happens to me too with this album, but it also happens for me on most her albums. Kate plays often in my head for days after playing an album.

Lovely album. Enjoyed it very much, but haven't really taken the time to dig deeper yet. I need to listen to it more before I can single out favourites.

I voted for Wheeler Street...... although to be really really honest I don't like Elton's voice on this, it's too much for this song. I love the song though, it's really moving and thought provoking.
My fav KB album though? I gotta say I'm still loving Aerial the best. I haven't listened to this one enough though, although I'm enjoying it it's not my fav from her. Always top quality from Kate though.

The enjoyment of Kate Bush's music seems to mostly elude me, but I won't give up. I guess that I just haven't found the right mindset yet. In regards to the poll question, I went with Wild Man, which is a song off of here that I do enjoy.

It is, by very far, one of the best things I have ever heard by anyone. I particularly love her disdain for "format" in this album and just let the words and the music carry it away ... and I have not found a moment where I was bored, or tired of it yet ... and have listened to it several times in a row ... more than once already. Also spectacular is Steve Gadd's touch on the drums to help accentuate things ... and it makes any "progressive" drummer look like a cheap and worthless metronome!
