50 words by a country mile...

Never listened to it...

[faaip]

Exactly, bought it, listened to it once, felt it was very Andrew Lloyd Webber, and I can't stand ALW

[Durly]

The Blue Nile Hats.

Although Ian is too late to nominate, this is a bloody great album.

I agree, it's her worst but I still really love the first track on it where she duets with Bertie. Worth buying just for that, in my opinion.

Not Kate's best by any means however I still enjoyed her album

Snowflake is wonderful Durly

How can you judge a album after one listen, yes not great by any means but to compare Kate's album to ALW is ludicrous

I can easily tell after one listen...sometimes an album is just plain bad. The Elton John in particular stinks the album up badly and it's convoluted, forced and sits badly in her cannon...I think there's one track I'd take off it as tolerable...And yes it does remind me of the sort of inane music/lyrics ALW and whomever he's collaborating with writes.

Problem is it was a massive drop off for a talented artist and we do it with Leeds..We know how good we can play so we slag off a poor game and defeat even though it's still better than most teams on a bad day.

I will admit it's not in the same league as her previous album 'Aerial'

[faaip]

Not even close...The Dreaming/Lionheart at the top

Kick Inside, Hounds, Red Shoes, Never and Aerial are a small drop down

[NorfolkWhite]

Pixies
Stone Roses
Snuff
Cure - Big fan but I'm not crazy about this album, plenty reckon it's their best I know.....
NMA

Just can't believe Kate Bush is winning this......travesty.

[NorfolkWhite]

Kate's second worst album going to win the 89 poll? Must be a bad year

But it wasn't

You called it right with Doolittle mind you I'm biased on this one

[SaraM]

Same here, on both counts.

[faaip]

But it wasn't

I agree, not great but not bad

[NorfolkWhite]

You called it right with Doolittle mind you I'm biased on this one

Nobody else did with Snuff unfortunately......thought it was worth a point just for their cover of "I think we're alone now"

[NorfolkWhite]

Maybe it's a year of "not bests" as all the top three artists have produced better albums IMVHO.

[1964white]

I definitely agree with you on that point Norfolk

[faaip]

Cure - 17 seconds maybe, Pornography certainly
Kate - at least 7 better albums
Pixies - Surfer Rosa knocks Dolittle into a cocked hat

Pixies - Surfer Rosa knocks Dolittle into a cocked hat

Oh, I don't know about that faaip. Surfer is definitely a more accessible record and the quality throughout is better, but there is a lot fluff on it. Clunkers all over Dolittle to be sure but the high points are higher imo. I think it depends what's important to you.

And speaking of Dolittle, I always loved the UK Surf version of Wave of Mutilation more than the original. Here's a link for those who might not have heard it before. Check it out, worth a spin:
