Kate Bush - All Time Top Ten

(From Smash Hits)

1. Frank Zappa: Overnite Sensation (Discreet).
'Montana' Was the first Zappa track I ever heard and it's stuck as a firm favourite.

2. A.L. Lloydand Ewan MacColl: Blow Boys Blow (topic).
I was brought up with this album.

3. Eagles: One Of These Nights (Asylum).
I played it to death when studying with Lindsay Kemp and it reminds me of him.

4. David Bowie: Young Americans (RCA).
It reminds me of 1976, the drought, summer and open windows.

5. The Beatles: Sergeant Pepper (Parlophone).
Because it's an album of excellent songs.

6. Eberhard Weber: Fluid Rustle (ECM).
It's like having your brain massaged.

7. Captain Beefheart: Blue Jeans and Moonbeams (Virgin).
This is the beefheart album where he writes love songs like nobody else.

8. Stevie Wonder: The Secret Life Of Plants (Motown).
Because it's a modern symphony with a high emotional content.

9. Pink Floyd: The Wall (Harvest).
Because it reminds me of last Christmas and open fires and I wish I'd written it.

10. The TV National Iranian Chamber Orchestra: Treasures Of The Baroque Era (EMI).
Because it allows my mind to sit own and go 'aah'. I listen to it when doing paperwork. In fact while writing this list!
