Are any of you fans of "The Mighty Bush" © Smash Hits magazine (1985), or do you agree with Simon Cowell that she is the most overrated British female artist of all time?

What does Simon Cowell know???? Robson & Jerome, Teletubbies, Westlife etc

 

Kate Bush is outstanding. My faves:

 

Wuthering Heights

The Man With The Child In His Eyes

Running Up That Hill

Cloudbusting

Hounds Of Love

This Woman's Work

Rubberband Girl

I just love 'Wuthering Heights' :heart:

 

I'm reading the book in English Lit at the moment :D

Kate Bush is one of the best female singers of all time. It's very hard to pick my favourite song from her... Obviously 'This Womans Work' is excellent but I love 'Never Be Mine' and 'Deilus (Song For Summer)' as well.

lets cut the crap or half truths here

 

KATE BUSH IS OUR BEST EVER FEMALE ARTISTE .... end of .

 

apart from 'wuthering heights' (my fav track of '78) i really love 'breathing', 'army dreamers' , 'sat in your lap' , 'them heavy people' , 'man with the child in his eyes'...

I actually listened to The Whole Story for a change the other day (Usually I listen to one of the albums) and Breathing just completely took my breath away (Again!) I think my faves at the moment are that and Sat In Your Lap but this can change daily with our (true) national treasure.

Yep, I liked her music from the start, especially her mid '80's period. Tracks like....

 

The Man With The Child In His Eyes

Running Up That Hill

Cloudbusting

Hounds Of Love

Whilst I was never, ever a fan of Wuthering Heights, I really, really love Kate Bush.

 

OK, she can be a lazy cow and she these days she lets the tedium of motherhood overtake her musical genius.... but how can you not love the lady who gave us these classics?

 

This Woman's Work

Under The Ivy

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

Song of Solomon

Mother Stands For Comfort

Never Be Mine

Ne T'enfuit Pas

Sunset

Nocturn

 

and the list goes on.

 

The world's greatest living musician?

 

Absolutely no question. :wub:

 

:wub: I adore this woman. My mom played me 'Sat In Your Lap' back when I was in seventh grade or so (12-sh), and I've been absolutely in love ever since. It was instant, even at such a young age. Her imagination and creativity know no bounds...

Not so long time ago I quite hate her music (based of one song: Wuthering Heights). The voice was unusual to me.

I still don't like this song too much.

 

One song changed all. I've seen "Cloudbusting" video on Vh1 and instantly I liked the song. :)

I've listened to some of her albums and now I can say my fave album is The Hounds of Love.

 

 

When Wuthering Heights came out it took a while for me to decide whether I loved it or hated it. I finally decided I loved it and have been a fan ever since. The Man With The Child In His Eyes is still my favourite but there have been many great songs since then.

indeed, that was the general feeling i think, after all.... nothing like it had ever been heard before.
