If I could only get 2 Kate Bush albums which should I get?

Question

I'm thinking 'the Whole Story' and 'Hounds of Love'.

Do you have any suggestions, reasons why or why not or any other Kate albums you'd like to recommend?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Both of those are good choices

Answer 2

Also "The Dreaming" ~ always been one of my favourites

Answer 3

'Hounds of Love ' definitely.

After that, for me, it is either "Aerial" or "The Dreaming".

The problem with "The Whole Story" is that it isn't the whole story, it might not even work as a good introduction to Kate's work as it is a compilation of tracks from different albums and times without the cohesion of the original albums.

"The Dreaming" contains my favourite Kate track: "Suspended in Gaffa" but If I was forced to choose I'd take Aerial because it is the most recent, the longest, great to listen to and most importantly it is Kate Bush.

Answer 4

Any are really good, those are fine choices.
