There’s no way I can pick only one favorite! But I guess I can say there’s a tie between Hounds of Love and Aerial, so since the OP preferred a single pick, I picked Aerial to give it a bump. I’d say Lionheart is her weakest album, and of course, even that one is great! After that, everything else, even all her b-sides and rarities, are just awesome!
Couldn’t choose just one…just couldn’t.
A Sky of Honey is beautiful
The Ninth Wave is wonderful
The Dreaming is fantastic
Of course the others are as well, but those simply stand out for me.
I’ve been indoctrinating my 9 year olds with Kates music. They are partial to Aerial, but are familiar with other songs.
(We even drove by her house near Reading this summer)
