I read Doug's article with some concern, because i am an adamant Kate
Bush fan, but that is the reason why i love "The Dreaming" also... Greg,
i'm sure you have had the experience of enjoying an album so much that
you cannot understand anyone else who finds it so-so, and Doug, don't
you feel that limiting the world to one "best" album made??  There are
many "best"s, for many people, and we appreciate your enthusiasm in having
found yours... anyway, i will no longer fill up this newsgroup with
discussion about the newsgroup... let's talk music!

RANDY ANDY - has anyone heard them??  i heard most of their album "Randyandy"
at a friend's house one night, who heard it on a plane while going to Japan...
one song in particular, "People (in the U.S.A.)" has prompted me to order
the album, and when i receive it, if anyone is interested i will tell you
about it... all i know at this point is that it is hard to find in Chicago...
