"Tainted Love" by Marilyn Manson

YouTube popped this up after yesterday's song, I checked it out and I really like it.  And it was fun seeing the video about making the video.

"More Human Than Human" by White Zombie

An ass kick song that I really like from the 90's.  Cool to see it live on David Letterman.

"The Sensual World" by Kate Bush

This is an interesting story behind this song, you can read more about that here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sensual_World_%28song%29

Having listened to the version that was released in 1989 all these (25) years, the "Directors Cut" version as she had originally envisioned it (retitled "Flower of the Mountain") sounds weird to me.

"Experiment IV" by Kate Bush

That is one thing I love about Kate Bush, she comes up with such fascinating topics for her songs.  And this has to be one of the coolest videos ever.  I love the 12" version, the violin is heavenly.  Sorry to all the neighbors in Kaysville I annoyed blasting in on the stereo.

"The Dreaming" by Kate Bush

This may be my favorite Kate Bush song... oh, wait there is always "Experiment IV"... it might be a tie.  I guess I know what I'll be posting tomorrow.

"There Goes a Tenner" by Kate Bush

Another favorite, this one I didn't discover until years later... I think in the late 90's.  Not a lot of songs about a heist.

"Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush

The first Kate Bush song I ever heard.  I immediately had to run out and buy the "Hounds of Love" album.

"Babooshka" by Kate Bush

I realized this morning that this would be a great April Fool's song.

I'm always surprised when I think of a song that was epic for me and then find that I haven't already posted it.  In this case it is worse than that.  It's an artist that was epic for me and I've only posted two of her songs to date (on 30-Nov-2011 and 16-Sep-2012).  That's just crazy!!  I have to correct that omission.
