Kate Bush

**Monny JcIntosh** · 10-26-2010, 10:19 AM

I've been on a big Kate Bush binge of late. She's obviously ace, but did she get much play in clubs in the US? Some of the Hounds of Love era stuff is similar to, say, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts or Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

I remember Running Up That Hill getting some play.

**Monny JcIntosh** · 10-26-2010, 10:56 AM

I had this sort of thing in mind:

**Monny JcIntosh** · 10-26-2010, 11:04 AM

But fuck it, what are folks' favourite Kate Bush songs?

I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps she isn't very well known stateside?

Here's one for the Russkis to rage about:

oh god! what was that.. i had to turn that off at the chorus

**Monny JcIntosh** · 10-26-2010, 11:35 AM

Anyway, if you don't know her, the Hounds of Love LP is the obvious place to start. Here's the title track (with what, strangely, looks like Don Draper in the video):

cats know kate bush but don't realize it from Maxwell's cover of This Woman's Work and her duet with Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up from his awesome So album

**Monny JcIntosh** · 10-26-2010, 12:54 PM

Oh yeah, her original of "This Woman's Work" is ace. The video's great, too -- with Lord Percy from Blackadder.

she was very well known to anybody following alternative music in the 80s
not so much since then though

**MarkK** · 10-26-2010, 01:07 PM

I love Kate Bush and have since I was 15 or so......a good one

**MarkK** · 10-26-2010, 01:09 PM

This is my favorite right now

**Monny JcIntosh** · 10-26-2010, 01:09 PM

Another excellent one from Hounds of Love.

**Monny JcIntosh** · 10-26-2010, 01:11 PM

"Watching You With Me" reminds me of Tin Drum era Japan. Must be the bass, played by Pentangle's Danny Thompson.

Always enjoyed watching the eclipse behind them.

i've been loving kate for 20+ years. running up that hill is a classic album to say the least.

i wish she would travel to this side of the pond for some shows. she'd be worth a few hours in the car.

if you are a fan of tori amos, you'd dig kate bush. i love tori, but i think kate is what tori is trying to be.
