Get either "The Dreaming" ('The best album ever recorded' --DA) or
"Hounds of Love".  Preferably both.

There is nothing by KB to avoid.  It's all great!  However, don't get
anything other than the two albums mentioned above until you already
have those two.  The reason for this is that earlier KB is an acquired
taste -- an acquired taste that you may not necessarily desire to
acquire unless you already love some of her other music.  Recent KB is
much different and is also an acquired taste (especially "The
Dreaming"), but you've already acquired the taste for this sort of
thing if you like Peter Gabriel.

KB doesn't rip anyone off.  Import 12" singles can be rather expensive,
however.
