I hold in high esteem "The Kick Inside", "Lionheart", "Never for Ever", "Hounds Of Love" and "The Sensual World". I like bits and pieces of "Aerial". Never really connected with "The Dreaming", maybe because I acquired it much later in my life. Funny story: As a student I was always imposing my music on my roommates with Kate Bush being at the accessible end of the spectrum for the music I was playing as loud as I could in my room. I had just bought "Lionheart" and the album was in constant rotation on my stereo system. One of the guys that was occasionally hanging around in the room I was sharing with two other guys was a really tormented soul. Could not figure him out, mainly because it was so damn hard to communicate with him. He must have been autistic or something like that. Anyway, one day, as I was returning back from a full day of classes, going up the stairs of the building where my dorm was, I hear this guys humming "Oh England, My Lionheart". It was the weird guy. Oh, the power of music, breaking barriers that other means of communication could not break.
