Good a time as any... after all, nobody's died....

Well done Little Pigs. Not. Still, at least we know where Paul McCartney is now.... The chubby one looks like him in a joke shop wig and cheap drag.

Same here. I can't believe ANY of her impossibly awful singles are still on this list.....

Human is also their best video so I hope they include it on the accompanying blu-ray

I think that's one of their finest - sounds like it belongs on a Bond theme. Surprised it's been overlooked.

No Caravan Girl either... not that that's a massive loss to be honest....

Mmm.... not terribly badly then. I see it's plummeted from number five to number 26 in the Uk this week. Quite a drop...

I agree..... Awful font for the album title, but a seriously GORGEOUS cover all the same

Thank God the two tracks for simpletons are out... What's My Name sounds like it was written by a 4 year old... and the less said about the rancid Katy Perry the better...... California Girls out next please. Another vile addition to an already vile back catalogue.

...has it done anything in the States at all?

Loved Video Games, love this even more... although she does look a bit like a prettier version of Julia Roberts in the video.... :huh:

I think you took the whole stash of MDMA when you came up with that pile of camp old indecipherable twaddle. Boyo. ps... half baked kiddie therapy... umm... leave it to someone who can string a sentence together, love.

Example. It's still an embarrassing thought that Britain made that ghastly Derulo record a number one - surely a contender for Worst Song of the Year?

The eternally awful Katy perry and her mediocre nonsense Teenage Dream. Ugh.

Well said.... I find the aforementioned 'unnecessary commentary' all the more unnecessary when you fail to add anything new whatsoever to the debate. Anyway, back to the album of the year.... Has anyone ventured to her website to check out the beautiful animated clips to accompany 50Wfs? Really gorgeous. Not so sure about the array of merchandise though. Christmas cards, canvas prints, mousemats and mugs. All maybe lovely if the actual artwork was worthy of reproduction which, to my eyes, it really isn't :-/

I think if you read back, the comment that brough Aimless onto this thread was someone claiming she'd do a better job of 'Snowflake' off 50WFS. And I realise it's quite possible to enjoy both artists. In fact, I think it'd be almost impossible to say you like Tori Amos without having an appreciation of Kate Bush. One thing - why does it seem that anyone thinking outside the box these days is accused of 'self indulgence'? What a lazy criticism. This isn't Bjork we're talking about here, you know.

Thank CHRIST for that. Vile.

Tony...as a Totally Aimless fan, I wouldn't, for a minute, expect you to believe or understand why Kate Bush is so innovative. So 50 Words For Snow. An album featuring songs about hunting for Yetis, an autobiographical account of a snowflake, a 13 minute love song to a snowman and an account of a night of passion with one, Stephen Fry reciting 50 words of mainly gobbldigook made-up words for snow with Bush egging him along whilst counting to 50, Elton John singing the song of his career playing the part of a time travelling lover throughout WW2 up to 9/11, her small son singing a soprano duet with his mother, an opera duet on a a 10 minute song about a ghost in a lake, a concept album based entirely on a weather pattern, and the absolute bare minimum of instrumentation from a lady known for throwng in the whole kaboodle... hmm... I don't know why I called her innovative, either... :rolleyes: :lol:

I agree - Tahoe, in particular, is pretty unlistenable - and she's out of tune on some of it... especially where she's the old woman talking to her dog.... and I expected more from Among Angels. But that track...hmm..it is what it is I suppose. The album, though, simply proves Kate Bush is the world's most innovative - and most copied - female artist alive right now. Yes, some of her copyists the world could do without ("Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be.... Totally Aimless" is a definite name that springs to mind)....but I think without Kate, there wouldn't be many many other female recording artists that I love. And power to her. Genius.

Trevor Horn, Midge Ure and er... Nik Kershaw (the latter two in the photo above). Well, she looks fabulous.

I think it was a pretty good comparison... the only other one would've been Pixie Lott... and people, thankfully, barely seem to remember who she is.

Can we PLEASE not keep forgetting... there's THREE, yes, THREE Katy Perry songs in this list - isn't it about time we got rid? Because I seriously don't believe even Buzzjack has a place for this foul nonentity.....

Quite. And yours is fabulous. Period.

that's not bad, is it? I'm not sure of what would count as good now, though, to be honest....?

Hate the 80s schmaltzy cheesy crap - but the 90s stuff - especially Listen Without Prejudice - is stunning. Older, too is phenomenal - and Jesus To A Child is one of the most moving pop songs ever written - genius. Of the 80s stuff, it's only One More Try I'd ever care to listen to again. I watched his 25 Live show on TV Christmas before last and it's fair to say he sounded better than ever - and by all accounts, the new show with the orchestra, is even better. Whatever happens in his private life, I think we need to remember this is a guy who, far from losing his talent, appears to be more talented than ever. Get well soon, Mr M.
