Posted October 11, 200816 yr Magnificent performance from the Britain's greatest ever female singer. kVvsdgLVrdk
October 11, 200816 yr I really love Kate Bush, but I've never really liked Wuthering Heights at all.... great to see this performance, though - I just wish she'd get off her arse and do some more live gigs.... and try to get EMI moving on the much-promised DVD and remasters collection.
October 12, 200816 yr utterly ironic, that at a time when punk was exploding onto the scene, kate bush comes along with this classic. a young girl singing in her own unique girly way topping the charts and rightly so getting critical acclaim. kate bush was one big artiste at the time that would have happened without punk, and didnt use punk in any way.. top class performance from our greatest ever female singer songwriter frankie sandford (and her army of blind saturday fans) please take note

Think she had better songs, but still a great performance at a young age. You don't like the "Saturdays" do you :lol:

You don't like the "Saturdays" do you :lol: in general i dont like manufactured acts ... until the shyteadays produce a decent pop song my opinion on them will not change... i like girls aloud, that product is a half decent one.
October 14, 200816 yr She has since released a lot of songs that surpass WH but this was a true gem although I'll never understand why she has never had another #1.
October 14, 200816 yr She has since released a lot of songs that surpass WH but this was a true gem although I'll never understand why she has never had another #1. wuthering heights though was completely unique, original, and totally opposite from the punk 'cool' music at the time. she could easily have courted commercial success im sure and notched up a string of #1's , but she was concentrating on quality and unlike most other pop acts didnt 'sell out'.... respect.

But that's why I am amazed when I look at her singles record. When songs like Cloudbusting and Love and Anger don't even make the Top 10 it is a very poor state of affairs.

But that is the beauty of Kates music in so far it is timeless. Because it did not sound of its time when it was first released, therefore it never dated (bar the odd 1980 synths, "sprongey" bass & "over echoed" drum machine). As an example take Running Up That Hill, it sounds like it could be a brand new song in 2008, just as it was unlike anything else around when it was released back in 1985.

When songs like Cloudbusting and Love and Anger don't even make the Top 10 it is a very poor state of affairs. ...i think its due to the 'singles bubble' bursting. singles were popular 77-83 but then they started to wayne and sales dropped.
