where do you start?...wuthering heights i suppose:)
but what other British songstress has given us such diverse music to enjoy over the years?
she writes and produces her own material, drives her own career and does things on her own terms.
my personal favourate album is the dreaming...every song on that album is like a mini dramatic film...astounding!
the hounds of love, of course, is also derservedly regarded as a modern classic, and areal the most talented return to form ever!!
very few songs miss the mark, if any, and the vocal on most make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...hello earth from the ninth wave suite is spectacular as is the wedding list and there goes a tenner from earlier albulms.
this womans work, and so is love, the sensual world....FAB, FAB, FAB.............
I LOVE kate Bush:D

Her voice is so haunting and beautiful. I love Deeper Understanding from The Sensual World the most I think, but then she has so many amazing songs its hard to pick one.
Just as a treat

I have vivid memories of becoming completely weak at the knees and awestruck when she was in front of me at a signing for the very first Comic Relief (for the utterly utterly merry Comic Relief book, which she had contributed something or other to).
From the red shoes album...

My personal favourite is Under Ice. It's so creepy
wuthering heights and baboshka were EPIC songs ..... leading up to RUNNING UP THE HILL .....
Probably one of my favourite songs would have to be "Wow." Its sends the shivers down my spine.
and to think she wrote that at something like 14yrs old.....
delius
egypt
get out of my house
ken
under the ivy
and, another day with peter gabriel
She is diverse and unafraid to try anything.
MG.xx:)
I could go on ......... but I won't.
Love the videos, esp Babooshka, Running Up That Hill and Cloudbusting ..... :cool:
