I just wanted to mention that my absolute favorite record of all time, without any real competition other than a couple of other albums in the same artist's ouvre, is The Dreaming, by Kate Bush.

Apparently a lot of people, even Kate's fans, don't particularly like that record. I'll admit that on first listen, it was a bit off-putting, but having heard it several hundred times now, it would definitely be the record I'd choose to take with me to a desert island, if I could only choose one.

On another day, I might choose Kate's Hounds of Love or Aerial as my favorite record, but today (and most days) it's The Dreaming.
