Also paging @VoR @Tisch @Peekaboo @Raining On Me @funky and @straightorbroken to see if you fancy rating And Dream of Sheep as you all voted before it was ADDED ON.

 

[Tisch]

09 - because I was at my max 10's and can't be arsed to change it now

 

[ZenGiraffe]

05 And Dream of Sheep

 

[Iguana]

05 And Dream of Sheep

I mean, no, but it's better than a 00.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I mean, no, but it's better than a 00.

I would like all other songs to be a 0, except that god hill one, which is a 9.

@Soldi to organise.

 

[VoR]

08 And Dream of Sheep

 

[COB]

Pervert!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

@COB I believe spousal murder is acceptable in some circumstances.

Same here @Soldi

Was it even a single?

 

[straightorbroken]

09 And Dream of Sheep

Purely as a moment of the tour, life, etc.

 

[Soldi]

Was it even a single?

Ask @Iguana

 

[straightorbroken]

Ask @Iguana

Oh she probably thinks it's still in the Hit Parade

[COB]

God Night of the Swallow really is the ultimate for me, doing this has got me playing it on a loop.

Let me- let me GO!

 

[GNL]

Sorry, this is a LOON RATE. It'd be TENS TENS TENS across the board if I had my way, and I'll probably disagree with my assessments tomorrow and think an entirely different set of songs should have gotten my 10s.

I do actually like plenty of her late period output but the singles aren't for me. Deeper Understanding is one of the LOWLIGHTS of that remasters album. Why release THAT? I blame loverly. loverly, loverly Bertie.

 

[Iguana]

Yay!

(Although I see Iggy has bribed you just so you gave Dream of Sheep a 10)

Are you missing out the And on PURPOSE? It's triggering me

He only discovered her three weeks ago.

 

[Raining on Me]

11/10 Under The Ivy

Yes Under The Ivy was a single, a Kent exclusive if I recall and topped the chart in every district including Shepway, Swale and Canterbury. Only Thanet shunned it because they're mentally ill.

Best you add it on the list now, @Iguana dear

It's not my list!

 

[Iguana]

However it will be covered in my Kate Bush BSides and Rarities thread!

 

[Raining on Me]

It's not my list!

Oh yeah

@Soldi dear, add Under The Ivy, you've only known Kate for 3 hours, so you couldn't possibly know it was an English county exclusive, which is understandable.

 

[Soldi]

Second most played artist of the year thank you

CAN CONFIRM (the bit about Thanet being mentally ill)

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I'm trying to be objective here, as against MOST ARTISTS almost all of the below would be 9 or 10's.
And So Is Love might be a controversial choice for an 11, but GIVE A SHIT quite frankly I've always adored it, and the HIGH DRAMA that surrounds it.
So pleased we got that audience-bemused mimed SHORT-HAIR-BEWIGGED-BACKING-SINGER TOTP perf for it too
