June 6, 20223 yr Wuthering heights which also happens to be one of my fave songs in general from any artist. Kate Top 5 01 Wuthering Heights 02 Babooshka 03 Running up that hill 04 The man with a child in his eyes 05 Rubberband girl
June 6, 20223 yr Wuthering Heights is a masterpiece and amazed she wrote and composed that at 17 yo and was it the first debut single by a female to be no1? Also love Cloudbusting, Hounds of Love, December Will be Magic!
June 6, 20223 yr Best album has to be 'The Dreaming' but love 'Kick Inside', 'Red Shoes' and of course 'Hounds of Love' Top 10 (and great that 'Be Kind' and 'Experiment IV' have been mentioned 1. Leave it Open 2. Experiment IV 3. Wuthering Heights (new Vocal) 4. Moments of Pleasure 5. Suspended in Gaffa 6. Be Kind to My Mistakes 7. Hello Earth 8. You Want Alchemy 9. Breathing 10. A Coral Room Her B sides are just incredible. Edited June 6, 20223 yr by Smint
June 7, 20223 yr Article about 10 recommended songs to check out if new to Kate Bush. All singles apart from 'Top of the City' (mentioned earlier in this thread), 'Waking the Witch' and 'Somewhere in Between' (surprised about that one, tbh. It's good but nowhere near the best on Aerial) https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/...t-new-listeners
June 7, 20223 yr It's a toss up between This Woman's Work, Babooshka and Don't Give Up with Peter Gabriel for me. I bought her best of in a HMV sale a couple of years ago and those are the standout career moments. I'm fully here for her reappraisal and for Running Up That Hill being as successful as it has been.
June 7, 20223 yr I need to give her back catalogue a proper listen again but the standout for me is This Woman’s Work
June 7, 20223 yr Wuthering Heights and Running Up That Hill might be cliche answers but they're two of my absolute favourite songs ever, Wuthering Heights in particular has to be top 5 for me. She has so many amazing all time greats though! Cloudbusting, This Woman's Work, Hounds Of Love, Deeper Understanding, Suspended In Gaffa, Breathing, Babooshka, Sat In Your Lap, There Goes A Tenner, Get Out My House, The Big Sky and And Dream Of Sheep are all up there too for me. Never For Ever-The Dreaming-Hounds Of Love is one of the best album runs possible tbh!!
June 8, 20223 yr Ah yes. I always thought that was a bit of a pre-cursor to Kashka from Baghdad: FKU73RmWOkU i do see that actually... never thought of that before! I wonder if Kashka lives with Eddie.
June 8, 20223 yr Breathing The Kick Inside Leave it Open Wuthering Heights Experiment IV Ne T'enfuis Pas The Infant Kiss/ Un Baiser D'Enfant Not in any particular order there
June 8, 20223 yr I've been re-listening to a lot of her music over the past couple of days and I think my top 10 right now would look a little something like this: 01. Wuthering Heights 02. Cloudbusting 03. Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) 04. Experiment IV 05. Hello Earth 06. The Man With the Child in His Eyes 07. Babooshka 08. Hounds Of Love 09. This Woman's Work 10. Leave It Open
June 10, 20223 yr Author was thinking that unlike many artists, I love the Kate covers others have done really love the Futureheads cover of Hounds of Love, and the Placebo cover of Running up that Hill is good too
June 10, 20223 yr Author yes, Placebo did Running up that Hill as the encore song the one time I saw them live <3
