Kate Bush -Running Up That Hill it is

I think there's two types of Kate Bush songs - ones where she sings, and ones where she tries. The former, like Running Up That Hill, I love. The latter, like Wuthering Heights, I can't stand

I completely disagree...The Kick Inside of which Wuthering Heights is just one track off it is her best album by a country mile - Running up that hill was the weaker of the 80's stuff really - I thought Cloudbusting a much more melodic contribution and I nominated that but I think Army Dreamers or Moving are better tracks.

Zaph

No idea where things stand, so just in case you need votes for any of these:

Zombie The Cranberries
Bette Davis Eyes Kim Carnes VS Sour Times Portishead - ABSTAIN
Atomic Blondie (both my nominations, this was tough)
Bring me to life Evanescence

Nothing compares 2U Sinead O'Connor
Lovefool The Cardigans
Hanging on the telephone Blondie
Mercy Duffy

Wuthering Heights Kate Bush VS Alone Heart - ABSTAIN
Feeling Good Nina Simone
You're so vain Carly Simon VS Edge of seventeen Stevie Nicks - ABSTAIN
Manic Monday The Bangles

Depends how quickly you want to finish the competition. From my perspective having 8 at the quota for the time being allows everyone a chance to vote, which is a good thing.

I love Bette Davis Eyes but I unfortunately had to vote against it this time because it came up against one of my remaining nominations. Ideally I'd have liked to see both go on further, especially considering some of the others that are still in play!!
