TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS

#581 WUTHERING HEIGHTS Kate Bush
Aged just 19, Kate Bush penned "Wuthering Heights", her debut single. Few artists have made as impressive an impact as the young British performer did with her take on the Emily Bronte tale. Its lyrics reveal a maturity beyond her years. Andrew Powell produced the track which was the big hit used to launch Bush's career and the album 'The Kick Inside'. As well as reaching the top in Britain, the single went to #1 in Australia, Ireland, Italy and New Zealand in 1978.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
To mark the occasion of reaching the halfway mark for this special countdown, a new song will be added on the hour all day today (in place of this week's Mid Week Bonus).
