Happy belated, queen! It's been over a year since Pulse's only Kate Bush-themed rankdown, so it's about time we got around to ranking the rest of her discography (including Hounds Of Love because I want to send this time it'll be interesting seeing how things have changed). And what better place to start than with her iconic debut album, The Kick Inside, which Kate recorded when she was only 16-18! (with some songs having been written when she was as young as 11)  (this rankdown series sponsored by Inkarnate) (jk)The album was a huge success in the UK, peaking at #3 for several weeks, ending at #9 on 1978's album year-end chart. It reached #1 in multiple countries, and made the top 10 on 11 different charts, though it was unable to crack the Billboard 200. The main singles were also successful, with both reaching the top 10 in the UK (and "Wuthering Heights" finishing in the top 10 of the year-end chart after hitting #1 for four weeks). "Them Heavy People" also peaked at #3 in Japan (where it was exclusively made a single). In case you're unfamiliar with how rankdowns work, you just need to rank these from #1 (your favourite) to #13 (your least favourite) and send your list to me in a PM. With that, here's the tracklist: 1. Moving 2. The Saxophone Song 3. Strange Phenomena 4. Kite 5. The Man with the Child in His Eyes 6. Wuthering Heights 7. James and the Cold Gun 8. Feel It 9. Oh to Be in Love 10. L'Amour Looks Something Like You 11. Them Heavy People 12. Room for the Life 13. The Kick Inside And without numbers: Moving
The Saxophone Song
Strange Phenomena
Kite
The Man with the Child in His Eyes
Wuthering Heights
James and the Cold Gun
Feel It
Oh to Be in Love
L'Amour Looks Something Like You
Them Heavy People
Room for the Life
The Kick Inside I'll aim to give about 3 weeks for you guys to rank each album (+ more time between for reveals), which means The Kick Inside is due on the 20th August for now. (pop & rock tags + anyone who sent for the HOL album RD + frequent posters in her thread) |

2 days remaining3. God4. BB🌕5. dremolus - solarpunkThere we are! At this point I'd love to get 10 lists by Saturday morning, but I'm open to extensions if anyone needs one. - The top 2 have been up there after entering every list, even though one doesn't have any #1s.
- The two highest SDs belong to #7 and #13, as #7 has multiple top 3s and bottom 3s, while #13 has one top 3 rank, with everyone else putting it low on their list.
- Three songs have received #13s so far (#7 and the bottom 2).
- #5 has spent three lists at #3, despite having no ranks higher than 4.
- There are currently three ties, between #4/5, #6/7 and #9/10.

Submissions are closed11. peacebone 12. Glove Slap - Three songs have #1s; one is much lower in the ranks than the other two.
- Two songs are tied for the most #13s, with four each, while four other songs have one each.
- The song that previously had the highest SD has been replaced with the current #6, which doesn't have any #1s, but is the most divisive song on the album thanks to only getting one rank between 6 and 9.
- Despite only having one #13, #11 would be in last place if not for its highest rank.
- Almost every list created a tie somewhere, but we've finished without any! (sorry Red)
And before I start reveals tomorrow, here are a few questions for you guys to answer: 1. Which songs do you think could win/make the top 5? 2. Which songs do you think could be #13/make the bottom 5? 3. Which songs could have the highest SDs (the most divisive)? 3. Which songs could have the lowest SDs (the least divisive)? 5. How far do you think your #1 will go? 6. Which order will the singles (Wuthering Heights, Moving, The Man With the Child in His Eyes, Them Heavy People, Strange Phenomena) leave in? 7. Any other predictions?

Hoping for big things for James and the Cold Gun, one of the few songs on the album I love/remember.

#13 only lost to the song above it by a single point, and has the worst highest rank of any song on the album. It has more top 10s than #12 and #11, but half of its ranks are bottom 2s. Highest rank: 5 Perfect rankings: 4 Lowest rank: 13 (x4) |

#12 is more divisive, taking another four #13s as well as the first top 3 rank. There are no perfect rankings here, even though the majority of us put it our bottom 3. Highest rank: 3 Perfect rankings: 0 Lowest rank: 13 (x4) |

The bottom 3 landed very close together, with #11 only two points ahead of Kite, and sixteen behind #10. It may have a #1, but that's its only top half rank. Highest rank: 1 Perfect rankings: 2 Lowest rank: 13 |

A little surprised at "Kite" being this low, but not shocked.
"Room for the Life" may be the weakest song here, but it's better than the best songs of a bunch of albums I've listened to.

I echo the same sentiments as Red in that this may be my least favorite on the album but it's still better than the best songs on most other albums.

Where all of the bottom 3 had at least half of their ranks in that range, #10 only has two, both of which were given towards the end of submissions. On the other hand, more than half of its ranks are an 8 or 9. Highest rank: 3 Perfect rankings: 0 Lowest rank: 13 |

#9 had a strong start, and only received two different ranks for the first seven lists, but two bottom 3s later on sank it, and its only top 5 rank couldn't change that. Highest rank: 4 Perfect rankings: 1 Lowest rank: 12 |

With #8 we see the first single eliminated. It started with one of the highest SDs, but due to its lack of high ranks (it's the last song without any top 3s), it ended up with the 6th lowest, and is five points behind #7. Highest rank: 4 (x3) Perfect rankings: 0 Lowest rank: 12 |
