Hounds of Love.....The Ninth Wave gives me chills and Cloudbusting is my favourite single; soon as I hear those strings I go a bit funny; in a good way. Sublime.
Never Forever and The Kick Inside close behind, but there isn't an album of hers I didn't like. |

This is interesting as The Dreaming is one I never felt anything for and it probably wouldn't fare well up against the others if this were a poll but but I am pleased to see someone rank it highly.
although I did find The Sensual World the one I least connected to, love the title track and This Woman's Work though (of course). The Ninth Wave is still, all these years later, perfection (imo).

A remastered version was released a few years ago and it sounds less 'shiny'. There are some gorgeous songs on Red Shoes though: Moments of Pleasure, Song of Solomon, Lily, Red Shoes. I would only cull Top of the City and You're the One. The rest is all very good IMO.

I always liked Top of the City, for some reason it always made me think of a rainy Saturday.

i often wish she'd take some of her best songs (what a huge catalogue that would be) and record them with just a piano and minimal production, a more 'raw' Kate, I think I'd love the results. Not a Director's Cut type reworking but just stripped back, no frills.

Take Running up that Hill: a beautiful song in any way but that faint breaking glass that runs throughout just takes it to another place for me. It would be an amazing without it but just not the Kate I love. To the original question: Hounds of Love Closely followed by The Dreaming and The Sensual World More distantly followed by Never for Ever and Aerial. Could never really get into 50 Words though. |

I adore Kate Bush and choosing a best album is pretty much impossible for me as I swing back and forth between them depending on my mood but if absolutely forced I would have to say Aerial. It's the album that made me notice her and I became an instant fan, and listening to it makes me so happy.
I was lucky enough to see one of her Before The Dawn shows a couple of years ago and seeing her perform the entire Sky Of Honey suite live was the most amazing thing ever. |

Hounds of Love - But closely followed by Aerial and The Dreaming.

It was REALLY hard to choose between Aerial and Hounds for me, but I picked Aerial solely because it was the album which lead to me "discovering" Kate's other work through.
