Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

These are the albums that sold her to me. I never got on with the first two The Kick Inside and Lionheart - they just sounded a bit too twee to me at the time - I really should give them another listen.

Kick Inside, yes .. Lionheart, don't need to waste too much time on that one.

Permission to disagree sir

The Kick Inside is the definitive Kate BUsh album, and still stands head and shoulders above her contemporaries at the time.

Lionheart has some sublime moments - I actually felt that Never For Ever was the one that fell short of my expectations.

Listening to Lotus Plaza: The Floodlight Collective



More disagreement! - Never got into her with The Kick Inside, though I really liked Lionheart at the time, but for me The Dreaming will always be her definitive album.

oh brilliant! a Kate Bush debate!

my top 5:

1. Kick Inside
2. Aerial
3. Never Forever
4. Hounds of Love
5. Lionheart

Kate, the undisputed Queen of Prog'
I just know that something good is gonna happen...

1. The Dreaming
2. The Sensual World
3. The Hounds Of Love
4. Aerial
5. Lionheart

Permission granted!

Over the years I've neglected all the albums except The Dreaming and Hounds of Love. I really haven't heard The Kick Inside or Lionheart for over 20 years so I should give them a listen.

What did people think of the later ones? I liked The Sensual World but I can't remember a single thing about The Red Shoes. Aerial was a superb return.

Kate Bush - The Red Shoes


I have to disagree with some of the above comments about Kates albums. I've liked her ever since Wuthering Heights but have to say The Red Shoes for me is by far her best work. Every note & word on it just seems to glide into place perfectly. My top 5 would be.

1. The Red Shoes
2. The Hounds Of Love
3. The Kick Inside
4. Aerial
5. The Sensual World

Garry you should grab a copy of The Red Shoes. You'll love it. As you can see by my top 5 , I prefer her later albums.

Very interesting views on KB.

I've moved on to a different kinda lady... Listening to: Donna Summer / Bad Girls (deluxe ed.)

What Music Are You Listening To? or rather, not!

Amazon have just suggested that 'I might also like':
Classix Nouveaux - Liberty Singles Collection,
a new CD being released later this month.
Anyone here ever like them? I remember the name, but strangely I can't remember what any of their songs sounded like, were they just an average band, or an obscure treasure?
