Title: Kate Bush
Post by: ObscuredByClouds on December 07, 2024, 08:31:47 AM
I've already mentioned her on this site a couple times before, but here goes: let's discuss Kate Bush.
Is anyone familiar with her? She has received a kind of popularity boost after "Running Up That Hill" got used in "Stranger Things", but I wanted to know what your opinions on her are (if you have any), if there's any songs or albums you particularly like, etc.

I haven't heard of her really until her "Running Up That Hill" song blew up due to the "Stranger Things" show as you stated. And fun fact, it only peaked at position #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 when it was originally released in 1985, but after Stranger Things, it re-entered the Hot 100 charts in 2022 and reached a new peak of #3 on the week of 7/30/2022 in the United States. Pretty cool how high it got in ranking more than 30 years later.

Indeed. It goes to show she was ahead of her time. On that note, the entire Hounds of Love album I can highly recommend. Probably one of the most emotional albums I've listened to.
