The Kate Bush Singles Rate

[Raining on Me]

And So Is Love got my 11 because it truly ACHES. I know she's technically done better but it's maybe my second favourite Kate song ever after Under The Ivy. It's beautiful and hits every emotional button

 

[Raining on Me]

Have you heard Out of the Storm, the scrapped theme she did for the Disney film Dinosaur, which she then recycled for Lyra?

No! That's beautiful. But it doesn't detract from my Lyra love, which was more of a fully formed song

 

[Raining on Me]

I've had a proper Kate evening and playing her videos back to back is truly a Tolkien-esque experience.

Lady Gaga could never etc etc etc

10 10s and 1 -1. Okay, okay. This definitely shifts the scale and means several 9s also need to downsize to show the worth of the ex 10s.

BUMP

MORE VOTES PLEASE

 

[Kate]

Are we having an EVENING OF BUSH for the results?

 

[Iguana]

Are we having an EVENING OF BUSH for the results?

Or "just another evening" for @ButterTart

 

[Soldi]

Are we having an EVENING OF BUSH for the results?

Oh Kate love there’s that many songs I can’t be fucking arsed polishing it all off in one night. It’ll likely be a drip feed of results over a few days/weeks/months/years

 

[Kate]

FURRY MUFF

 

[Kate]

Perhaps the top 20 as a YouTube playlist sync watch? HAPPY TO HELP IF I CAN

 

[Soldi]

Now there’s an idea! I’ve said I’d start the results on Sunday 6th, it could build a bit of EXCITEMENT to climax at some point in the following week

I’m glad you’ve got your thinking cap on Kate

 

[Iguana]

Put them in a playlist and we can do a sync listen up to #1! Maybe just of the top 20

 

[Iguana]

OMG I independently had that thought

 

[Kate]

GREAT MINDS ETC

 

[Soldi]

Right all booked in for 12th December at 7pm!

 

[Kate]

oh wait is that a Saturday, shit

 

[Soldi]

oh wait is that a Saturday, shit

Well you’ll have to decide what’s more important

 

[ButterTart]

Shit! Forgot to do this, I’ll get on it tonight.

 

[ButterTart]

What in the actual shitting fuck? How was WILD MAN the only single from 50 Words for Snow? It’s the worst one!

 

[straightorbroken]

Well you’ll have to decide what’s more important

Her own bush, evidently

10 And Dream of Sheep

And Dream of Sheep wasn't a single?

 

[Soldi]

Looking through a couple of sync listen threads, wondering if @octophone @Ag @Zu-Klara @dmlaw and @Gangsta Nancy Lam are interested?

I only ever engage with them unintentionally and in an unplanned way - e.g. this evening’s Steps album listen - so don’t count on my attendance as I’m like the wind: inconsistent and prone to variation

 

[Iguana]

One for @ButterTart's wank bank

Best she's ever looked, I reckon. I was trying to think who she reminded me of in that picture but I think it might be Kate Bush

 

[ButterTart]

Also, why didn't you ask her to make And Dream of Sheep a single? And Snowflake and Snowed In at Wheeler Street, for that matter.

 

[Iguana]

Actually, @Soldi, And Dream of Sheep was released as a single from Before The Dawn and you missed it out!

 

[Iguana]

It even has a video

11 And Dream of Sheep

 

[Iguana]

She got hypothermia making that video and you didn't include it, FFS @Soldi

 

[Iguana]

We're going to have to start the rate again, sorry!

 

[Soldi]

WELL it is not listed on Wikipedia and also wasn’t listed on the Kate v Bjork rate so SHUT YOUR MOUTH LAWN BOY.

 

[Peekaboo]

If I remember correctly that "video" is simply the footage that plays in the concert anyway isn't it? My memory of that night is SKETCHY.

If you need it for RATE PURPOSES I give And Dream of Sheep a 09 as I can't be fucked taking a 10 away from other songs.

 

[Iguana]

WELL it is not listed on Wikipedia and also wasn’t listed on the Kate v Bjork rate so SHUT YOUR MOUTH LAWN BOY.

It is LITERALLY on the list of her singles on Wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Bush_discography?wprov=sfla1

 

[Iguana]

STOP THE COUNT

 

[Iguana]

And Dream of Sheep won. BY A LOT
