The Creme de la Creme - Artist 2 - Kate Bush - The Bear and Badger

Coopers Green

What the fuck ZMM.

b0r1s

1. Smells like teen spirit
2. Where did you sleep last night (unplugged)
3. Come as you are
4. Something in the way
5. The man who sold the world (unplugged)

Olimite

I'm just finishing a relisten to In Utero and for me, it is unequivocally a better album than Nevermind. My shortlist has come up with practically no obvious choices.

(Possibly over-doing this, slightly.)

1. In Bloom
2. Come As You Are
3. Territorial Pissings
4. Lithium
5. Something In The Way

I know. It's... quite the take

It's almost "I don't know about you guys but The Beatles sound an awful lot like a Monkees tribute act"

No question.

Get out

Not sure on the order, other than Milk It is number one and a couple of the covers from Live in New York need to make the list, with the rest from In Utero.

1. Milk it (In Utero)
2. Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Live in NY)
3. Heart Shaped Box (In Utero)
4. All Apologies (In Utero)
5. Oh Me (Live in NY)

The ending for Where Did You Sleep Last Night is something else.... the video in particular, where the live recording seems to show Kurt getting so into it he forgets he's performing in front of a live audience. It makes me feel really bitter sweet.

Milk it was a close call for my 5 too. I could've had a top 5 all from In Utero tbh, so many good tracks.

I work with a mate who's a big fan. These are his picks (he didn't put them in order tbf so I'll just assume they are):

Lounge Act
In Bloom
Silver
Scentless Apprentice
On a Plain

Nearest miss: You Know You're Right.

Heart Shaped Box FUCKKK

regmcfly

In Utero is indeed the better album. A big BIG 30th anniversary re release out soon. It's like 13 CDs and 8 vinyl.

Also shouts out to You Know You're Right, good on you Moot

Olimite

It’s great but not even on my shortlist so far.

I'm on fire in this thread.

Olimite

I've done Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero and am just finishing off my re-listen of MTV Unplugged. I have a shortlist of 13 at the moment with this to listen through today and then I'll make an attempt at picking my top five.

Olimite

Last call for this. I have begun the process of totalling the votes (and after more than 50 scrobbles this week, I am trying to come up with my five).

If you have a suggestion for artist #2, drop me a line (or post in here).

Olimite

Tumbleweed.gif, etc. Anyhoo, my five were:

Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
Breed
Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam
Stay Away
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter

After adding them to the totalizer, the top five were:

Breed (NEVERMIND) - 20
Smells Like Teen Spirit (NEVERMIND) - 19
Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (MTV UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK) - 17
In Bloom (NEVERMIND) - 16
Come As You Are (NEVERMIND) - 15

Results will be added to the OP.

I think these guys might be about to blow up, they had a tshirt in Primark at the weekend.

Cream of girls aloud next please.

Art-pop time. Kate Bush is the next artist for your listening choice!

Singles aside, I know very little about her albums so will look forward to investigating her back catalogue.

b0r1s

I'll be bowing out of this one as, apart from her pop hits, I know bugger all.

poprock

Hounds of Love
Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)
Wuthering Heights
Don’t Give Up (with Peter Gabriel)
This Woman’s Work

That’ll do, Bush. That’ll do.

poprock

Shoutout to the Babooshka video/outfit, but not the song. Costume based on an old painting by Chris Achilleos, I think?

b0r1s

Well I know for of those songs you list pop and have to say I’d forgot about Don’t Give Up but now recall how much I loved that song at the time. Thought it was a brilliant duet.

b0r1s

And another reference from my youth. I had a couple Achilleos books when I was doing GCSE and A Level art.

RamSteelwood

1. This woman's work
2. The kick inside
3. Don't give up (Peter Gabriel)
4. The man with the child in his eyes
5. Wow

Me too. I did the written part of my art A-level on fantasy illustration. The tutors only agreed to let me if I could prove I’d met some of the illustrators in person to conduct interviews, so I collected a lot of signed books …

I wish! Unfortunately our teachers wouldn’t go for that. I had to study a “proper” historic artist. For some reason, I think it was due to an art trip to Paris in my last year of high school, I chose Jean Leon Gerome. Was really not a fan of the history part of art. I just wanted to create stuff.

Howdy, Stranger!
