What Was The First Kate Bush Song you heard?

i was lucky enough to go to university with her and she was in the college drama group. One day she did a wonderful version of wuthering heights, from that moment onwards we all knew she was going to be a massive star blessed be

Hhmm ... first Kate Bush song I heard? Let me set the wayback machine. It would have had to have been Wuthering Heights. The year was 1977 in Australia, and 'the hat' (Ian 'Molly' Meldrum) was on TV with Countdown. I had heard the song a couple of times on the radio, but when I saw that original clip I was hooked - still am in fact. She was unique, beautifully so, as was Toyah Wilcox (although she came a little later). Kate had a way of touching certain emotions and bringing them to the surface. Each and every album was a journey into the soul. She was, is, and ever will be not only an extremely important part of my life, but and extrememly important part of the music industry as a whole.

I loved that video of Cloud Busting! She is a great, talented lady with superb vocals, the first song I heard of hers was Babooshka! Since then I was hooked, one of my favourites is Running Up That Hill!

"Wuthering Heights" which came out, when I was working in London in a record company. One of my colleagues had been in the same class at school as Kate. I love "The Kick Inside" album, and I still listen to it today!

ok i was 11, and i saw the video to the sensual world. i got the album for my 12th b'day and from then i was pretty much a massive fan....till i was 16 and got over her and started to listen to grunge.

I really only remember hearing "Running Up That Hill" in the 80s, and then pretty much nothing else until recently. The songs I've heard recently by Kate Bush are also older songs, so I'm not sure if she's done anything more recently. :)

First Kate Bush song I heard was Wuthering Heights - heard it on the radio and wondered what the heck it was! It just sounded so weird, completely different from anything that was around at the time. Then I saw her perform it on Top Of The Pops and I've been a massive Kate Bush fan ever since. I couldn't pick a favourite song of hers because there are so many I love but my favourite album is probably "The Red Shoes". Her last album "Aerial" is also fabulous. There are very few people that can sing about washing machines and Pi convincingly! She's an immensely talented artist, truly original.

probably Army Dreamers, heard it on on either radio 2, or a local radio station, listening in bed when I should have been a sleep, when I was about 10/11, I didn't really pay that much attention to music at the time but something about it just grabbed me & stuck in my memory especially the the lines about Daddys little soldier, didn't make it to his 20's. Think I thought it was a new song, only heard it a couple of times, then it just disappeared with the start of the gulf war, but I never quite forgot it. Felt like a long time before I rediscovered it, and found out it was Kate Bush. Then later Wuthering Heights and The Man With The Child In His Eyes on Virgin Radio in 1994.

I FIRST HEARD wothering heights in 1977 soon after she left the college i was later to atend

The first song I heard her sing I remember was Wuthering Heights when she appeared on Top of the pops. We thought she was abit mad, the way she sung and danced. I hadn't seen or heard another woman like this before. I must admit as I heard the song more I ended up really liking it. She stayed at NO.1 for ages if I remember rightly. I like most of her work and have a few favourite, one being Womans Work this is so moving. I bought her last album which I enjoyed, she is unique in her style.

LOL Your discussion brought back some wonderful memories of Kate. She attended the Rose Bruford College in Sidcup, Kent. She used to hang out in a cafe called Valotti on a Saturday morning and we had many lovely mornings in there waiting for our laundry to finish in the launderomat next door to the cafe.

the first kate bush i ever heard is babushka. i think i was about seven at the time and i really like it. and i like it still because it brings back good memories from when i was a child. i practicaly grew up with that and other kate bush songs since my father is quite a big fan.

I'm not sure exactly which Kate song i first heard, my dad has always been a fan so no doubt i overheard him playing her music long before i realised who she was. The first songs i can remember hearing of hers were from The Red Shoes album, which my dad had got one x-mas and played in his car stero all the time. I thought i must be grown up (i was maybe 12 at the time?) as one of the song (Song of Solomon) word was bulls*it in it but my dad still let me listen. He also had the Hounds Of Love tape in his 'tape drawer' (nothing more exciting than a drawer full of tapes in our dining room) which i decided to listen to, not knowing it was the same woman as on the other tape, but being drawn to it becuase she looked so beautiful on the cover. The tape was somewhere in the middle and i think i heard Waking the Witch which was a bit scary for a12/13 year old, so i didn't really get hooked straight away, but kept getting drawn back to it. Then, i remember on a UK TV music quizz show called Never Mind the Buzzc*ks they had this round where they had to guess the lyrics parts of songs, and the song in question was Wuthering Heights. So i heard part of that song and liked it, asked my mum who is was by and of course she told me - Kate Bush. I then dug out some more old tapes from my dads' drawer, this times one'd he recorded from record onto tapes, and the tapes being quite old had deteriorated so the sound quality wasn't that good, but i still listened to them and got hooked. The albums were The Kick Inside and Never forever. I decided i really liked her by this time so got The Kick Inside on cd, and a while later, The Sensual World. By this time i was about 16, and had become quite a fan! So much so that i asked, and got, her This Womans' Work boxed set for passing my GCSE's (English qualifications). From then on there was no turning back really! I now have all her albums, lots of biographies on her, and quite a few videos, including the Single File that you mention, which btw i absolutely love! So there you go, i think you have have got a bit more info than you bargained for but oh well!

I was watching that classic VH1 channel, and Running Up That Hill came on, and I was in awe. I loved the dancing in the video and the sort of creepy vibe to it. I just love Kate Bush's uniqueness, there's no singer like her!

Kate Bush has a very distinct singing style that can either fascinate or irritate you. She is also a naturally beautiful woman. I'm only familiar with 'Running Up That Hill'. Great song!
