the fact that there is a Kate Bush song as good as Breathing that also features Roy Harper is possibly proof of God's existence.

that's the whole of the dreaming now, right? lol @ this batshit thing being voted the best
and "all the love"/"there goes a tenner" the worst :/

Is this the first poll when an entire (non hits) album has appeared in full?

I haven't been on all the polls, but it's the first time I can recall a whole album placing. The Joshua Tree nearly did on my other one, but iirc it fell one short.

It's pretty sweet watching a deep cut take off as the ballots roll in - this placed on a straight run of ten consecutive ballots in the middle.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:27 (eleven years ago) link
am glad that The Dreaming made it in full, of all the albums it deserves it most i think even tho it's not the era i go back to most at the moment

The mule part gets all the attention -- understandably -- but the whole song is wonderfully psycho. I am the concierge chez-moi, OH-nee...

I voted for "Blow Away (for Bill) " as well : (
Surprised some of the stronger cuts from "Aerial"'s first side haven't made it in: "Pi", "Mrs. Bartolozzi"... (though I voted for neither. Would've done "Pi" if I had a choice.)
― Loo Reading (Capitaine Jay Vee), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:38 (eleven years ago) link
I don't think any of the Neil albums placed in full, but I'm pretty sure all of Innervisions placed in the Stevie poll.
― cwkiii, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:39 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't vote in this poll, but this would have been my #1. Absolutely blew my mind when I first saw it on TV.
― wise men farting over you (snoball), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:39 (eleven years ago) link
up there with the best debut singles of all time. thought it would place one or two higher though, but i can guess what beat it.
― Jamie_ATP, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
i'm getting a bit giddy that my number 1 might be the overall number 1 now, don't think it's ever happened on an ilm poll before.
― second only to popcorn (or something), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link
came low in my poll and maybe shdn't've been there at all, or shd've been much higher, i dunno, i think i voted from "importance" slightly which is totally against my usual method. but it's unquestionably spectacular no matter what my relationship is to it on any one day

My intro to "Wuthering Heights" was the '86 version. Is it ok if I prefer it?

Yeah. I think I underrated this on my ballot as I figured it was a lock for the top three; love Tom's writeup on it for Popular:http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2008/07/kate-bush-wuthering-heights/
I was one of the #1 votes for "Nocturn" - everything I'd loved about Kate Bush ~The Ninth Wave with added balearic majesty; I think it was Tim in the OG Aerial thread that mentioned Talk Talk/Bark Psychosis/"Halcyon+On+On"/"Under The Sun" as reference points. I wish I'd had the chance to hear it at the end of some kind of Studio DJ set as the sun was rising.

I once saw Balearic Mike start off a boat party set with 'Nocturne', just as we started moving along the coast. It was a glorious moment.
