The countdown! Number 2!!!

"Wuthering Heights", by Kate Bush, from England, in 1978

Poor Kate - she nearly took out the number 1 position, but it was not meant to be. She had the most votes out of any artist or band voted for, a full 50% more than the artist/band who/which took out the number 1 position - but her votes were spread across an amazing 36 songs. This video clip is a wonderful late-night Rage occurrence - I remember watching dumbly as the red dress just kept swirling and swirling ...

  4. OMYGOSH - WUTHERING HEIGHTS SHOULD'VE BEEN NUMBER ONE!!! Kate Bush is a freaking GENIUS!!! I can't believe she didn't get number one - although being number two is pretty damn impressive!

  5. Kate is the real thing. Love her music to bits. Her most recent cd Aerial is stunning. Shame she doesnt do singles anymore or songs like Sunset and Nocturn would also grace this list.

  6. Sunset is my favourite song of hers too. She is an artist of genius, without doubt.
