From her 1978 debut The Kick Inside and its lightning fast follow-up Lionheart to 2012's 50 Words For Snow, there are so many great songs to choose from, and we invite you to listen to our standouts below before letting us know your own favorite.

You can't deny that Kate Bush tells a ripping yarn, and this tale of disguise, entrapment and infidelity is among her finest. A playful piano hook, killer bassline, menacing chorus and tales of too many broken hearts all combine to create spellbinding results.

Everything about this track - from the tinkling piano opening to the soaring chorus and ethereal vocals - is perfect. Almost unbelievably, it was written by Bush when she was just 18 years old.

A ghostly love song inspired by the Emily Brontë novel of the same name ("How could you leave me, when I needed to possess you?" sings Kate as Brontë's dead Cathy. "I hated you, I loved you too."), Bush launched her career off the back of it as her debut single back in 1978. It was a No.1 hit in the UK, went on to become her biggest selling song and still sounds just as astonishingly fresh and powerful now.

'Hounds of Love' from Hounds of Love (1985) - Caitlin Layton, Work Experience

Despite only making it to number 18 in the UK singles charts, 'Hounds of Love' has a very special quality about it. Bush's haunting vocal range is at its best, perfectly mixing emotion and power and making the song instantly recognizable.

The music video, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps, is also delightfully timeless and compelling. As Kate enchantingly dances away with a man while chained together, the video evokes an innocent charm as the pair become the party.

A perfect example of Kate Bush's ability as a singer-songwriter. The combination of piano, Bush's sensitive vocals and mature lyrics are quite exquisite and haunting all at once. The fact that she wrote this at 13 and recorded it at 16 just goes to show what talent she has always had.

She has yet to fully explain the meaning or inspiration behind the song, but one could argue that it may be about having a deep connection in a relationship, despite outsiders not understanding it.

'Running Up That Hill (Deal With God)' from Hounds of Love (1985) - Lewis Corner, Music Editor

Due to its prominent placing in the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony, 'Running Up That Hill' is the track most recently present in the nation's minds. A new remix of 'Running Up That Hill' saw it climb back up to number six on the chart, proving that over 27 years after its original release, it hadn't lost any of its appeal.

It's easy to see why - the track's tumbling beats and weeping synths keep it on the fringe of pop, while Bush's haunting vocal adds a mesmeric gravitas to the heart-tugging lyrics. An ethereal stage show to accompany the song is what we've all been waiting for.

'Cloudbusting' from Hounds of Love (1985) - Mayer Nissim, News Editor

Yes, another song from Hounds of Love, but we're not making any apologies. A genre-defying rock/pop/alt/classical fusion, the strings are used to propel the song to the heavens, rather than just drag them in to the indie schmindie wasteland.

A song about the arrest of radical psychoanalyst/philosopher Wilhelm Reich from the viewpoint of his son Peter, if it catches you in the right mood it's like one of Reich's barmy rainmaking contraptions being pointed straight at your tear ducts. And the video featured Donald Sutherland as Wilhlem and Kate Bush herself as Peter (of course).

Kate Bush is such a unique artist that it's hard to think of her ever being able to share the mic with anyone, but this song works wonderfully. Gabriel sings as a man jaded and at breaking point. Counter to that is Bush's soothing voice of reason, a guiding light for tough times. As duets go, it rarely gets much better than this.
