My favourite is 'Sunset' from Aerial... When the flamenco kicks in my heart soars....
Her last song was absolutely awful though - god knows what she was thinking when she agreed to do that. |

Love Kate Bush she is incredibly talented and I have more than one favourite song. Man with the child in his eyes is one of her best known and I like the duets she has done.

Layra is a nice song and amazing to her feat that she wrote and recorded it within 10 days. I see this track as an experiment. Oh Experiment IV!! now there was a track....

Lyra was perhaps one of the worst songs she's ever recorded IMO and really doesn't bode well for any future recordings if this is the direction she intends to take - it's too close to Enya for my taste.
Just listened to perhaps my all time favorite KB song and perhaps my all time favorite xmas song, December Will Be Magic Again. I preferred her more 'eccentric' days. |

I would ignore the Lyra song - it was done in a rush (for Kate!) and naturally she was constrained in terms of what the producers of the film required.

For me it's the last 3 songs 'Somewhere in Between', 'Nocturn' and 'Aerial' that I love. The rest of the albums a bit patchy though, the less said about Rolf Harris, the better. Apart from those 3 tracks I mentioned I don't really listen to Aerial that much, preferring Never Forever, Sensual World or This Women's Work Vol 1.
Her last song was absolutely awful though - god knows what she was thinking when she agreed to do that. |

Love Kate.
The Kick Inside is probably one of my top three albums ever. 'Feel It' is my personal favourite Kate song. |

i know why a lot of people are not keen on lyra, i'm surprised kate didn't do more with it, but i quite like it...but then kate could sing the phone book, as she practically did on PI, and i would like it.
a song not mentioned yet, that i love, is mrs Bartolozzi...i was expecting this to be panned a bit more!

![]() Not!![]() ![]() I like it when I read positive things about artists like your post. I don't like every track any artist does but that doesn't mean it isn't pack and parcel of the artist.They have their own reasons for the music they write and I daresay some will not like the tracks we do. Kate Bush is definately versatile in her music. MG.xx

Indeed. She has produced a few tracks that I think are rather poor, particularly on the first CD of Aerial (but the 2nd CD more than makes up for the weaknesses of the first CD).

When I heard Kate was pregnant I feared her work would turn 'mummsy' and sure enough the song Bertie was proof of that. I read a comment from someone who said that Bertie would be explaining that song to a shrink in 20 years time. ![]() I do love KB but the past 2 albums have really not being up to her usual standard IMO. |

This woman's work is Kate at her best....she was always head and shoulders above another other British female artist of this genre but she is prone to strange sounding vocals at times.
