48. Kate Bush: Wuthering Heights

And I thought that the Kate Bush of "Running up that Hill" had a screechy voice. It actually had matured quite a bit by the mid-80's, compared to these barely listenable 1978 vocals.

I know that there is nothing new under the sun in music, but just hearing the chorus to this song makes me think of Mandy, by Mr. Manilow (which had hit #1 in 1974). The melodies are virtually identical.

Rating: 31

OK with it: Dear PF500: Any song that rips off an awful #1 from 4 years prior is on the pathetic side, don't we think? Not worthy of the 500, right?
