Rate Kate

[Connie Lofton <Connie_Lofton@sonymusic.com>]

As a 12-year Kate fan (though not as well-versed in all things Bush as most are 
here on r.m.g! :-)), I'd like to ask people to rate the seven Kate albums (not 
counting "The Whole Story", of course) in order of preference.  I have a sense 
of where most people would put certain albums on the list, but who knows?  It 
might be an eye-opener!   To get the ball rolling, here's my list:

1.  Hounds Of Love -- I still rue EMI for not ensuring Kate won an Album of the 
Year Grammy for this.
                                          Flawless, and the best-sounding CD 
ever!
2.  The Dreaming --  a close second.  Fantastic production, great songs.
3.  Never For Ever -- Just for "The Infant Kiss" and "The Wedding List" alone.
4.  The Red Shoes -- I lo-o-ove this album.  Kate up close and personal.
5.  The Kick Inside --  The first is the best for many, but I prefer a little 
more maturity
6.  The Sensual World -- Probably a surprise, but the production on this album 
still bothers me                   7.  Lionheart   --   The runt of the 
litter.  Actually not terrible, but way, way, WAY too slick.  

All right, Love-Hounds!  Any takers?   Comments on choices appreciated (though 
not required).  Extra credit goes to those who care to list their top (or even 
bottom) five Kate tracks.   

Looking forward to some interesting reading,

Connie
