Bang goes another kanga

Wednesday canon! Yus! Now with added Top 75 value (no room eheu for her David Tennant-esque comedy cockernee accent on "There Goes A Tenner" though)



Nine picks.


[Poll #726042]


Don't ask me about the tangled thicket of ties that was the Beatlesband results, please.

Ha, this will totally make it look like Our Kate's career has tailed off, even though Aerial is basically her third music-on-entire-new-level album of amazingness.

Also I would have totally ticked 'There Goes A Tenner'! It's a much better comedy accent than her Australian one.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I might have ticked it too, it's a great song! "The Dreaming" is magnificent tho.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Yes I really heart all of that album, 'The Dreaming' and 'Experiment IV' and 'Moments Of Pleasure' and 'Wow' just missed out on my ticks.

'There Goes A Tenner' is how all political songs should be.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Also surely there is a special circle of hell reserved for the Futureheads after what they dared to do to 'Hounds Of Love'??? I can't believe they DARED.

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

Got to disagree with you on that, Lex. I think they got the spirit of the song (and the harmonies are great!)

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I think it is nothing short of a DESECRATION.

The harmonies are not great! They can't SING!

comedy gold

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Saddest not to tick - "Hammer Horror", just for how she pronounces "Hor-ROAR", singing along means your mouth makes delightful shapes.

I didn't have enough votes to give anything off of Red Shoes - which I now think is better in its misery than Aerial is in its tame pastoral daftness - but I should note here that "And so is love" is superb.

[zenith.livejournal.com]

Can we give less than nine votes to be 'strategic' if we have only heard nine songs (not to be confused with '9 Songs')?

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

I would have ticked nearly all of these if I could. But I managed to come up with ten MUST TICKY and then agonised over which one to drop.

In the end the On Stage EP had to go. Please somebodt tick this one. The lead track, the one that got played on the radio ("Them Heavy People") is magnificent in this version.

Not enough votes for "The Sensual World".

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

What was on that EP? I didn't tick it cos I didn't know what was on it, but I LOVE 'Them Heavy People'.

EP tracks

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Them Heavy People/Don't Push Your Foot On the Heartbrake/James and the Cold Gun/L'Amour Looks Something Like You

(all live versions from her only tour ever)

Re: EP tracks

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I love three of those and have never heard 'Don't Push Your Foot...'!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

whatcha gon' do when they RAT-A-TAT you down, etc

rolling the ball

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

i have dutifully gone back and tickyed for them heavy ppl.

[thenipper.livejournal.com]

I thought 'HoL' was going to walk this, but it seems the novelty value of 'Wuthering Heights' trumps all!

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I thought it'd be 'Cloudbusting'.

I'm genuinely shocked at the lack of love for 'This Woman's Work', too, I think it's my favourite K8 ballad.

YOU HAD A TEMPER

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

wuthering hieghts is the punkiest (non-punk-sounding) song of the punk era: in fact it is punkier than most punk-sounding songs also

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

yeah i'd have said cloudbusting or running up that hill

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I do love how Runnin Up Yr Hill sounds like she is singing it through a tube. It is a wonderful noise.

[blue-russian.livejournal.com]

I looked for it but somehow missed it. Error rect-o-fied.

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

A comment of an old acquaintance of mine on Kate: "She comes in our Tesco's sometimes - she looks a right old rat now, but nice tits."

Sporadically great, I think.

[giddyoldgoat.livejournal.com]

dave gilmour connection = she is prog

"Don't ask me about the tangled thicket of ties that was the Beatlesband results"

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Easy enough to go back and see 'em for ourselves.

Worth noting at least that 1965 is Official Best Year Ever for the Fab 3 + 1.

lack of love for "The Big Sky" perplexes me - it's SASSY and DANCEABLE and has a k-rad video! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeAmhTG8oa4)
