We Become Panoramic - THE KATE BUSH RESULTS THREAD (ilm artist poll #24)

I'm 100% in favour of remixing and revising and think more people should do it. Even when it creates crap, which it does, like 90% of the time, having a polished-up crap version only sharpens the ingenuity of the original

(Not calling '86 "Kick Inside" vocal takes crap, mind)

I love her. My revised list of her best.

Great list, A+

Yep, excellent list, Alfred.

alfred you don't own the Kick Inside or Lionheart???

I own TKI but not Lionheart, don't relish playing the former except as exceptional demos

Lionheart is worth picking up for a few choice songs (Kashka, coffee homeground, the title track).

The Kick Inside is awesome.

Her catalog is awesome.

I like the love you showed for Aerial, but I don't think I will ever understand the gushing that the Dreaming receives. It's a weird dynamic; most casual fans don't rate it at all, but of the more serious fans that do rate it, the overwhelming majority seem to overrate the ever-loving hell out of it. It's a pretty good album, but considering the next two records she released after it, it's very mediocre in comparison.

A Sky of Honey is the greatest thing ever

Trying to imagine a world in which The Dreaming sounds mediocre compared to The Sensual World.

It's not a terribly sensual one, to be honest.

Given how much of a favourite it is of Kate's, having been picked for the live shows, it's surprising how badly Lily did.

didn't rank '50 Words for Snow'?

i won't hear any sensual world slander, idk how anyone can not get immediately enveloped in it, the way its textures sprout up & spread out like a landscape in the fog

to use the ready-made image lol

I think The Sensual World is great but The Dreaming is monumental.
