One of the best female voices ever- beautiful, striking and dripping with emotion.

If your favourite isn't listed, just post it.

EDIT: Was a really tough choice, but mine is probably Cloudbusting.

From that list I like 'Wuthering Heights', 'Running Up That Hill' and 'Don't Give Up'. I think Wuthering Heights is my favourite though, it's a great song.

Wuthering Heights I think, Babooshka is a very close second though.

Babooshka. I don't really care for Wuthering Heights. I'll try to listen to it some more to get into it.

Wuthering Heights....................easily. It is one of the best songs ever written and the vocal is just amazing. Even more incredible when you consider that it was written by Kate herself, at just 18 years of age.

Strangely Kate was always unhappy with her vocal on Wuthering Heights, so in 1986 she re-recorded it, toning it down, and arranged to have the original version permanently deleted. You now only ever hear that 1986 version on the radio, or if you buy the song. On P2P file sharing networks you can probably still track down the version with the original vocal, to me that first version is the better of the two, theres not a huge difference, but it is some how a bit more raw and wilder, the wailing towards the end is more dramatic, it has a special magic that isn't quite there on the re-recorded version.

If you want to find out if you agree watch these;

Original vocal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv0azq9GF_g

New Vocal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgyGe-lPI_Q

The sound quality isn't brilliant on Youtube, but you will hear the difference. Original version is cut short.

I have just listened to both of these versions, and after posting that last comment, I needn't have done, lol the original is on the cd, and as I haven't got the hi fi connected up, due to my new shelves being erected today, I have only listened to these on the internet, and also I can't listen to the vinyl, the older version is so much better, you can tell that she is older in the newer version, her voice has matured so much. I love Kate Bush, and I also think that the "screeching" (sorry cant find a better word atm) quality of her voice is key to the actual song, as it is about raw emotions and represents the story really well. Anyway, the old one is better, and thats that lol :D :smt023

I didn't even know Kate recorded a second version of the song until just hearing it on Youtube now. After listening to the two versions, the original is definitely better.

OMG as if you can't tell, maybe your sound quality on your laptop isn't that good..... not being rude or anything. you can tell the difference because of the tone of her voice

KB has always been a bit eccentric, the fact that the original version was a huge no.1 hit around the world when she was a complete unknown says it all really. I have never understood why she wanted to rerecord it.
