I wouldn't have guessed that Razorblade Suitcase is your least favourite. I really enjoy that one for the same reason I like David Fincher movies, it feels darker than reality, cinema noir-style. IMO Kingdom and Art are bad albums almost front to back but it's personal preference so I don't fault your list.

I remember the first time I heard Bush I thought it was unreleased Nirvana. Then I bought Sixteen Stone and really liked it.

One of the weirder aspects of this band is that they were a huge hit on this side of the Atlantic, especially in the US, but in their native UK they were practically unknown. Typically, that works the other way around.
