Stevie Nicks Loves Kate Bush Ahhhhh!!!

[mdakd]

Just listened to Stevie's selections on the Ken Bruce show where she's doing "Tracks of my Years" and she picked "Running Up That Hill" as one of the songs.

She said she even wanted to record the song after hearing it, but she realized she couldn't outdo it so she didn't. But still! Knowing that she admires Kate Bush....big points Stevie!

P.S. If you want to listen to it, you can go to the link here and listen to it on the player. It starts around 16:30 with the Eagles story and then goes into it.

This is so crazy and music-affirming!

Well done, Nicks.

I ove it when Stevie loves the same things I do. It helps me get past her admiration for Katy Perry and for those sparkly, softball-playing vampires.

I've listened to music since I was in Pampers and still have no clue who this Kate Bush is. Is she a UK artist or something and popular over there? Or here?? IDK. I must've missed her songs on the airwaves.

Ha...I just posted the audio on another thread.

She's a UK artist that got big in the 80's.And still is.Like Stevie said,Kate Bush is a good writer and I agree but, I don't like the way she sings.

Kate Bush has had hits just about everywhere except in the US since her 1978 UK debut. It wasn't until 1985 before Kate had a bona fide hit in the US, which was "Running Up That Hill" (the song Stevie's just said she considered recording). That song only made it to #30 on our charts, and was Kate's only charting US hit.

She's certainly worth a look...she's an amazing songwriter, self-producer and conceptualist (she's long been the director of her own videos). She's been compared with Stevie by many (myself included), but she's really more like Lindsay, being someone who fiddles in the studio with bizarre (often third-world) instruments and creates offbeat soundscapes to accompany her songs.

Here's "Running Up That Hill" for starters.

That is so cool! I was literally just watching Kate's video for the Sensual World on You Tube earlier tonight.
I cant say I was a huge fan, but I did buy & enjoy the Sensual World CD back in 89. I think Stevie & Kate have alot in common. Both very unique & feminine artists .

Yep, I love it when we have the same taste in things too! Loved this song since it came out. It's haunting. Found a copy of the vinyl LP at a thrift store a few years back, burned it onto a mix CD and shared with some folks who also love it. Good stuff! I would be interested in hearing Stevie's interpretation though. Check this one out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzI0thK61Dc

If that's the only full album of hers that you've listened to, you must must must try Hounds of Love

[wheart]

WOW!! Another reason to love Ms. Nicks (not that I needed anymore!). I wouldn't have pegged Stevie as a Kate Bush fan.
