The Kate Bush Singles Rate: The Top 20 Countdown (Tonight at 20:45 GMT)

[Iguana]

Which means...

1. Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (1985) from Hounds of Love

Average score: 10.25!!
Highest score: 11 (VoR, Tisch, straightorbroken, Ag)
Lowest score: 10 (EVERYONE ELSE!)

Right. This was also my 11.

I then JOKINGLY SUBSEQUENTLY said And Dream of Sheep was my 11 and you replaced it as my 11.

But RUTH is my 11.

 

[Tisch]

Wuthering Heights is beautiful.

I prefer the Jessie J cover

I was willing to forgive the first one as a joke. This is just offensive now.

 

[ButterTart]

@ZenGiraffe's most remembered Kate Bush hit, 'Deal or No Deal (Sprinting up some hills with God)' has WON!

 

[RJN]

Yeah Running Up The Hill is stunning. I can't even say any other version is better since its pretty much perfect. The Placebo version is good too

 

[Soldi]

Oh thank god! I didn’t do what I did to Nancy and accidentally gave you too many warning points which constituted as ban for your dreadful taste in preferring covers to the original

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Sorry I couldn't come. I was having a private sync listen to the first Cheeky Girls album.

 

[Tisch]

@Soldi can we have a full list? I think for once Moopy got it mostly correct!

[ZenGiraffe]

This is absolutely the correct decision. Excellent instrumental. Excellent vocals. Excellent synth duck quack instrument...thing.

Confidently unscreeching.

11/10

I shall post the SPREADSHEET

I do love this version, but the Kate Bush one is untouchable.

 

[RJN]

To clarify to my haters (@Soldi @Tisch @Iguana) there is NO Jessie J version of Wuthering Heights

But can you imagine!!

 

[Iguana]

Amazing song and video.

 

[Soldi]

DOES THIS WORK?

 

[Iguana]

Thank you so much @Soldi

That was so much fun! Loved listening to Kate with a little crowd!

I EVEN appreciated @ZenGiraffe's contributions and I am pleasantly surprised that he liked a lot more than I expected!

 

[GNL]

What a fun way to spend an evening. Thanks @Soldi!

 

[Soldi]

Thanks for joining everyone, it’s been a lovely little soirée hasn’t it!

 

[Iguana]

To clarify to my haters (@Soldi @Tisch @Iguana) there is NO Jessie J version of Wuthering Heights

But can you imagine!!

Imagine if there was. You'd be in SO MUCH trouble right now

 

[COB]

Just want to say that the Placebo version of RUTH is complete dogshit

 

[Iguana]

There IS a Sophie Ellis-Bextor version of Wuthering Heights from her kitchen disco. It wasn't very good

 

[ButterTart]

Cheers for this @Soldi
I can't think of any other artist who could have a top ten as good as that and still have so many other 10/10 songs which didn't even make the cut.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

DOES THIS WORK?

Can we just have the list?

 

[RJN]

Imagine if there was. You'd be in SO MUCH trouble right now

I googled in hope there was. There is not. But this lyrics website somehow did thing it was by her

Yes but I'm imagining it now and my life is RUINED

 

[Iguana]

I actually quite like it!

 

[COB]

Thank you @Soldi, this has been great!

I'm just happy I managed to mention screeching 21 times. Talk about a rod for your own back.

That just proper ticked me

 

[RJN]

That just proper ticked me

How could someone make that mistake?

 

[Tisch]

Thank you @Soldi !! This has been very well run and an evening of @Kate is always greatly appreciated. Also the list was more or less in the right order.

 

[RJN]

Thanks @Soldi! I really enjoyed it and definitely found some songs I'll come back to (and I'll listen to her albums at some point). And thanks @ZenGiraffe for having more offensive opinions than me

 

[Soldi]

Can we just have the list?

Can you just not turn up at the end then ask for a list?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Can you just not turn up at the end then ask for a list?

I was watching a film.

 

[ButterTart]

Yes but I'm imagining it now and my life is RUINED

She really is like a character from a CBBC musical comedy come to life.

Where’s Tawny Moon?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

And thanks @ZenGiraffe for having more offensive correct opinions than me

You're welcome bbz xxx

 

[ButterTart]

Where’s Tawny Moon?

With the rest of Paula Yates' children.
