    Well, not like that! Kick Inside last??! How about:

    1. The Dreaming
    2. Never For Ever
    3. The Kick Inside
    4. Lionheart
    5. Hounds Of Love
    6. The Sensual World
    7. Aerial
    8. 50 Words For Snow

    and I don't rate The Red Shoes at all.

    The Dreaming
    Hounds Of Love
    Never For Ever
    Aerial
    The Red Shoes (I love this album, sorry!)
    The Sensual World
    The Kick Inside
    50 Words For Snow
    Lionheart

    That looks quite harsh on the last three - Lionheart is really the only one I don't listen to very often and I do love the other two. The top 6, however, are simply essential listening for me.

    Uh oh... I meant to put the kick inside above Red shoes.

    I'm astounded (and happy as anything) to see "The Dreaming" at the top of all the rankings so far!

    It's a seminal album for me. As groundbreaking as Pet Sounds, Kind of Blue or Ziggy Stardust.

    For most 'fans' of Kate's poppiest years, it's her most despised album, I know people that absolutely detest it. The first time I heard "Get Out of My House" I was dumbstruck. "The Dreaming" isn't just my favourite Kate Bush album, it's easily one of my top ten albums created by anyone, anywhere...

    Quite honestly, it probably is... I just haven't spent enough time with it over the years. Should be time to delve back in sometime soon!

    Hounds Of Love is the only album I can listen to without skipping.

    1. The Dreaming / Never For Ever
    3. Hounds of Love
    4. The Kick Inside
    5. Aerial
    6. Lionheart
    7. 50 Words For Snow / The Sensual World

    Sometimes it's hard to choose.

    I agree that Aerial is a masterpiece. Sadly for the album, she made some better ones. :shh:

    I do think that Hounds of Love is her best album by some way.

    Artists that nearly always have a high quality of output are the worst to rate, because the albums that are rated lower are often still great albums! They just happen to be overshadowed by even better albums...

    I'd very probably rate "The Dreaming" and "Hounds of Love" in pole position. This just illustrates the problem I outlined in my previous post!

    ... the rest ...

    I know it is a cliche to say "...would make a great single album...", but:
    Aerial cut down to a single 45 / 50 minute album would be one of the best albums... ever...

    Just love The Dreaming.

    I also really like The Kick Inside - I remember it being released when I was 18, and thinking WTF, this is great.
    I still play the copy I rushed out to to buy, on a regular basis.

    1.Never for ever
    a masterpiece
    2.The kick
    what a debut !
    3.Hounds of love
    Running up the hill is brilliant, wasn't overly keen on the rest

    might have heard a few songs from Lionheart but can' t remember
    lost interest after HOL, might have heard a few songs here and there from other albums
    but without leaving a lasting impression

    Hounds of Love is the certified masterpiece, but especially the 2nd disc of Aerial is the work of a genius!
