I’m 60.
Never heard the song that I remember… weird.
I always preferred Babooshka
I can beat that. I don’t know who Kate Bush is. Sincerely, I don’t.
My appreciation for her has increased over the years. A unique talent.
Catchy tune, but weird song. About a man and a woman ‘making a deal with God’ and switching places to see what the other sees.
Anyway, glad she's having a big comeback. I always liked her vocal style. "Wuthering Heights" and "December Will Be Magic Again" are two other great performances by her.
I love Kate Bush’s music.
I have several songs on my playlists that I listen to when I ski and ride.
Kate Bush was gorgeous and mysterious. I never “got” her back then, but she was a big deal in her sphere.
She’s not one of “those types”, thankfully. Very feminine, straight, etc.. She did a really excellent song called “This Woman’s “Work” for the movie “She’s Having a Baby”, and she basically sings it from the perspective of a husband when his wife is having a very difficult, dangerous birth. Gorgeous song, and a real tearjerker.
The Hounds of Love. I have that CD somewhere.
She would have been my first choice for the R&R Hall of Fame this year. Charter her own course, and sounded like nobody who came before her.
Maybe you listened to too much disco, but Kate was absolutely on the scene then, perhaps a bit too new wave/modern.
She did a lot of songs with Peter Gabriel, such as Don't Give Up, from his 1986 So album, which included his famous Sledgehammer song and awesome video.
1980s version of Annie Haslam. Incredible music from classical training.
Wuthering Heights is her best, IMHO. Can’t think of anything like it.
Her “I Dream of Sheep” was a big hit on our farm. We raised a lot of lambs. More than 200 every season.
You should find out, sooner rather than later.
The Whole Story is a great starting point.
The song Don’t Give Up is one of my favorites.
Here’s the first MTV video that some thought was a little bit creepy (as it’s supposed to be a platonic freindship):

Here’s a better version they did to replace the first:

Either way, this song really speaks to the importance of having friends when all else is hopeless!
I abhor that song.
Good for Kate Bush - “Hounds of Love” was a great album and it’s great to see a song off it making money for her all these years later. Hopefully a few of the people who’ve heard “Running Up That Hill” will try listening to the entire album.
