    StevO, Can I add Kenny Loggins' "Easy Driver" and Steve Forbert's
    "The Oil Song" to the mix?

    Trouble with listening to Kate Bush is I recall her videos from the early 80s and it is somewhat distracting. I have the clips for Babooshka and others. :wub:

    If you doing car songs you MUST include at least some of the many good tracks from the Little Deuce Coupe album Little Deuce Coupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

    Lol, I just saw the Babooshka video for the first time ... an eye opener ....

    Musically, Love & Anger is among my favorite songs of all time. I still cue it up as a single a lot at home and in the car:

    Her best video, however, is "Cloudbusting" (yes, that's Donald Sutherland):

    I first fell in love with Kate in my early teens, Babooshka and Wuthering Heights seemed to have more effect on me than Cloudbusting. Something about Kate playing a little boy maybe. You are right though, as videos of the era go it was ahead of it's time but so was Kate. I'd love her dressed in Hessian sack or silk, makes no difference, she's lovely.

    I like this. I've only heard Kate Bush through Peter Gabriel. I really like Peter Gabriel - I've got a lot of his music and Kate Bush sings in a couple of his songs. I'll have to check out more of her stuff.

    I really like Dido, who I found through another artist. I bought her first album because of that Eminem song that had parts of "Thank You" in it (her song). I really like her music, so I guess I owe Eminem for that. Not much of a fan of his, but I like a couple of his tunes (I about died laughing when I heard "Two trailer park girls go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside...").

    This is perhaps the best album in the world to exercise to, with the possible exception of "Oil and Gold" by Shriekback.

    Oh, I forgot Madonna and certainly the Stones! Never much cared for Kiss, but the rest of the world loves them. I also like The Fray.
