Kate Bush top songs

As some of you might know from one of my previous threads of hanging around with some Indian bird, she has told me about pop music (modern stuff and from her ends, kollywood) I have been showing her some of my favourite artists and bands. She never heard of Kate Bush. I then spoke to a mate of mine who knows who Kate bush is but knows nothing of her music. I find this all appalling.

I've got three songs I can go to immediately as some of my favourites of Ms Bush. There are plenty others but thought if there is any other fans of quite possibly the greatest female solo artist ever, to list a few of their own?

Wuthering heights

This woman's work

Running up that hill

    Didn't she write The Man With The Child in His Eyes when she was 13 or something? That's sickeningly talented. My three favourites are that, Babooshka and Wuthering Heights, which is a vastly more enjoyable experience than reading the book.

    could look it up but wondered to those who know did she do the productions herself as well?

    Did she do ‘My old man’s a doctor!’?

    Her duet with Buster Bloodvessel and their haunting rendition of Lip up Fatty, will stay with me forever!

    My old man’s a doctor,
    He wears a doctor’s coat,
    He wears oh golly-gosh trousers,
    And our house has got a moat.

    The video for Cloudbusting with Donald Sutherland is a classic.

    The Man With The Child In His Eyes is a masterpiece.

    She didn't write it, but her duet with Peter Gabriel on Don't Give Up is beautiful.

    I used to deliver the mercury newspaper to her house in court road Eltham every other week so she could catch up on Charlton news - did the same for all her neighbours - was only fortnightly coz I used to dump the papers behind the bob hope theatre every other week - she never complained

    This post made me listen to Cloudbusting again after many years. Wonderful music.

    Bloody Hell, tears in my eyes after listening to it yet again. Thank you Karim for bringing Kate Bush back into my life.

    Haha. My preferred dumping location was the small electric substation building in King John’s Walk.

    don’t know her music that well, despite her being Ms AA’s favourite artist.

    Cutting it down to 3 is tough (and changes):

    Cloudbusting 
    Oh England My Lionheart
    Running up that Hill

    Could have been Wuthering Heights, Man with the Child in his Eyes, Deeper Understanding, Wow, Hounds of Love. And I love her duet on Don't Give Up.

    Am I the only one who thought all her music, (Like Bowie) was self indulgent old tosh. 

    A mate of mine worked for a removal company and moved her a couple of times from Court Rd and a Flat opposite the Albert Hall and said she was Ok.

    I'm leaning that way tbh - both did some great stuff but think you've described some of it quite well - each to there own but i think both attract a lot of music / culture snobs who talk out their a hole.

    Can someone confirm if it's accurate that she went to school in Abbey Wood - as my mum told me she was a couple of years below her. 

    St. Joseph's Convent Grammar School I think it was.

    She did. My Mum taught her gymnastics there.
