'Spinning Around' is SO amazing, definitely one of her best - and the video. Ooft. Pleasure.

 

'Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)' gets FAR more hate than it deserves, definitely my second favourite on 'Aphrodite', just behind 'Cupid Boy'. :wub:

 

And of course 'In Your Eyes' is another GEM :wub: (and 'Pleasure.')

28 | Finer Feelings
27 | Some Kind Of Bliss
26 | Did It Again

A trio of forgotten GEMS now. Finer Feelings was the final single from Let's Get To It. The album version is a little flat but the BIR mix for the single release is all
kinds of amaze. The version for the Abby Road Sessions is even better than that, simply sublime.
Some Kind Of Bliss was the first single from the perfection that is Impossible Princess. Criinally missed the top 20 and is largely forgotten, but I have a soft spot for this
pop/rock-ish tuney wune.
Did It Again was also from IP and is slightly better known than SKOB. A pretty scathing song, like a softer version of something you migt hear Alanis Morissette doing circa
1995. The video features a great many different Kylie's fighting eachother (IndieKylie FTW BTW)

Agreed about the Abbey Road version of 'Finer Feelings'; simply stunning :wub:

'Did It Again' is in my top 5, painfully underrated.

Finer Feeling on the Abbey Road Session is simply one of the best!

'In Your Eyes' is easily one of Kylie's best singles for me. The video makes me feel nostalgic too. :wub:

 

'Chocolate' and 'Wow' are both great too. The latter gets too much unnecessary hate I think; I can see what people mean when they say it is a 'rip off' of 'Love at First Sight' but that's not what I think about when I listen to it.

 

Never thought much about 'Finer Feelings' until the Abbey Road version came along - that is simply beautiful! :wub: 'Some Kind of Bliss' is one of my favourites from Kylie too, I'd love if she delved down this sort of route again. It's not really that indie so it wouldn't be a massive turn away from the dance-pop Kylie we all know and love.

 

Now you mention it, 'Did It Again' really does sound like an Alanis Morrisette track! :o Perhaps Kylie took some inspiration from her? One of her best videos (Sex Kylie, mmmm)

I don't really hear Alanis in 'Did It Again', Sheryl Crow perhaps.

I don't really hear Alanis in 'Did It Again', Sheryl Crow perhaps.

It's the "it's all in your head, you better put that business to bed" part that I keep thinking about.

Did It Again and indeed alot of Impossible Princess reminds me of Jagged Little Pill era Alanis, but less in your face :lol: Lyrically anyway.

25 | Breathe

24 | Can't Get You Out Of My Head

23 | Flower

 

Breathe, another IP single (can y'all tell I love this album?) is another underrated gem from Mini. Kinda gets lost alongside other midtempo Kylie songs, which is a shame

since it's rather lovely. A version was recorded for Abby Road era but didn't make it, it's out there though and worth a listen.

Head is Kylie's best known and biggest hit and as such, is overplayed and a tad ovarrated. It would have been much lower if not for the AMAZING rock version she does on Les Folies.

Not ashamed to say I lost control when I heard it and clapped like a seal on steroids at the end, best song on the tour. Still, it's iconic no matter what version it is.

Flower, like Skirt, would be higher up if it weren't so fresh (Hypocrisy considering TB might be here) A very personal song for Kylie, possibly her most personal, it's

a love song to the child she may never have. The proper studio version never properly surfaced but it does exist, it's really good. The ARS version more than makes up for the lack

of it though, although not quite as good as the live version from X2008.

Edited November 8, 201311 yr by Regina

'Breathe' is lovely, although I'm not sure if I'd place it second or third in terms of my singles preference.

 

'Can't Get You Out of My Head': the song experts reckon could treat Alzheimer's! :P

 

I didn't realise 'Flower' was about the child Kylie may not have! :o I already found it deeply personal because of it being written by Kylie during her cancer treatments but this makes it twice as so. Gorgeous song though. :wub:

'Breathe' is definitely one of her best! :wub: And 'Flower' is SO underrated (see the Singles Rate :cry:)

22 | Love At First Sight
21 | On A Night Like This

Last two songs before the....TOP 20! Sadly these two just miss out. LAFS was a single from Fever and ends up being the highest peaking single from that era in this
countdown. This song does not truely come alive until Kylie performs it live and THAT mash-up on Les Folies....ooofty.
OANLT was the follow up to Spinning Around and is a much better song, a COVER, yes indeed. Although the original is pretty unknown so we'll pretend it doesn't exist.
DAT video though, very slutty, very.....Kylie.

'On A Night Like This' is my favourite Kylie song of all, so majestic.

The video for 'On A Night Like This' :wub: So sexual.

How dare you put "On a night like this" at No.21? :wacko:

OANLT is alot like Ryan Reynolds. Beautiful on its own, but when put against the Joseph Gordon-Levitt's and Adam Brody's of the world (or other Kylie singles in this case),

it/he falls down.

20 | Giving You Up

 

First song in the Top 20 is second single from Ultimate Kylie and her last single before she got sick. One of the earliest Kylie singles I remember properly looning over.

The b-side, Made Of Glass is miles better though and would have been an epic single. The video is a key one in Kylie's history, it's the first time she was ever taller than

anyone. An odd video, but enjoyable nevertheless.

GIVING YOU UP :wub:

'Love at First Sight' and 'On a Night Like This' are Kylie classics for me. :wub: From childhood I always remembered those K earrings in the former and the big "on a night like THHHHIIIIISSS" notes in the latter. Both should have been #1 with more stable chart runs.

 

I like 'Give You Up' but I certainly wouldn't have them ahead of the above two songs. I don't have any recollection of this when I was younger, nor of Kylie's illness - I first found out about that after the release of '2 Hearts'!

19 | Wouldn't Change A Thing

Oh how I wish this was a bit higher :( this is how much I love Kylie, i had such trouble doing this list. Anyway, an early PWL classic right here.
I do think this iskinda underrated, really lovely song. I wish Kylie had included it on Abby Road Sessions because I think an acoustic version would be beautiful,
something alot of PWL songs by her have in common. Video is laughably 80's and cheap, less said about it the better.

'Wouldn't Change A Thing' is another one where you disregard it when you're not listening to it, but when you do listen, it's amazing! Wouldn't have it top 20 over some of the others, though (and certainly not above 'Giving You Up'). :(
