Kate Bush

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Running up that Hill is possibly one of my favourite songs of all time. Just bizarre that she decided to just stop making music

Same here! I fell even more in love with it after hearing the Chromatics cover. Glad more people are getting exposed to such a great song these days.

She's kind of like Billy Joel in that regard.

But at least he tours regularly, she did that 22 day thing in London in 2014 and that was first tour since 1979 and nothing since! It seems crazy to me but I guess she doesn’t enjoy performing or publicity which is fair enough

please clap.

[bobbie solo]

have gone on a bit of a deep dive bc of this track's resurgence and I am so glad. Discovered alot of songs I knew were hers that I didn't realize previously.

Have you heard the Meg Myers one? I think it's even better.

[GulDukat]

I really like this song, from the album The Red Shoes.


In terms of mainstream popularity, I think Kate Bush was just a little bit ahead of the curve. The Red Shoes is the only album that she released in the 1990s, a decade that would have been more receptive to her music than the 80s.

Yes! I adore the video, and I do like the cover, but it sounds a bit too on the nose. Chromatics version gives it that sweet sprinkle of Chromatics allure that is so intoxicating to me lol.

After this past week, I've decided that I hate this damn song. made it almost 40 years thinking it was fine.

[Dr.Z]

I'm not sure how much she has toured outside of the U.S. Otherwise she might have a bigger fanbase stateside.

This response has made me very confused. Do you think she’s an American artist? Kate Bush has been living in England her whole life, she has toured the UK and EU once for six weeks in 1979 and then played 22 concerts in London in 2014. She has always been higher charting in the UK and EU than in the US. What makes you assume she has a bigger fanbase in the US?

Yeah, I know that she is from the UK. My point was she would have had a bigger audience in the U.S. had she toured the U.S. Poorly worded.

How do you think she would have been received on Cardassia?

Better than Klingon opera.

Her 50 Words For Snow album from 2011 is amazing.

[GulDukat]

There is also The Other Sides which is a 4 disc collection of b-sides/remixes.

[Maximilian]

It's interesting to see a song that I remember from it's original release being treated like it's some massive hit that just came out, but that's the internet age.....

[Maximilian]

I was just thinking about this early 90s track that sampled her song "Cloudbusting". Anyone remember?

Hounds of Love is #21 on the Billboard 200.
