Best Kylie song

robluvsnic [Edit] [Delete] 88 replies 14:12 January 27th, 2012

What am I thinking? no one here likes Kylie, do they? this thread's going down like a lead balloon.

Anyway:

1. Confide in Me
2. Breathe
3. Can't Get You Out of My Head
4. Light years
5. Did It Again

I could keep going, but I'll throw it over to the void for further nominations.

NB: anyone who says Locomotion will be subject to relentless ban requests (Goatmeat, I'm looking at you!)

Am I allowed to choose the one she did with Nick Cave?

  then go for it

Tough question.

I can't choose just one, so I'll say I Believe In You and Come Into My World and In Your Eyes.

'80s Kylie is naff, though.

- Oh sure
  
  Kylie begins with Rhythm of Love for me: Shocked, What Do I Have to Do?, Better the Devil You Know — great tracks.

Maybe it's my inner fag-hag

but I really dig the whole Fever album. Title track, Come Into My World, Burning Up, More, More, More would be my favourites.

Confide in Me is obviously a good shout too.

- Fever has the advantage of having CGYooM
  
  and Come Into My World and Fever are solid too, but I have to admit to not loving it as much as others. A run of consistently good singles notwithstanding, it marked the beginning of her decline to my ears.
  
  Impossible Princess is her masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.

Too many Australians in this thread...

2) Confide In Me
3) Some Kind Of Bliss
4) Limbo
5) Someday

Is Confide In Me the one where she gets naked in a spaceship?

That one was good. The other one she did in her seriousface faze that was good.

Slow was quite good.

Spinning Around is probably the best though.

Probably between:

4) Can't get you out of my head
5) Slow

And this is the best remix (but the 9 minute cut is better):

sigh...

I Believe In You is actually wonderful, you are correct...BUT Better the Devil you Know is the right answer. Any fans of "Indie Kylie" though, is that one she did with the Manics worth persuing?

She really has given Queen Madge some sleepless nights in the last fifteen years or so, eh? And... still would, obviously.

- Mrs Mortdecai believes Madge is now trying to channel Kylie.
  
  That was her opinion after watching her on Graham Norton the other night. Wouldn't surprise me, she seems hell bent on ingratiating herself to the British populace.

- YES! Impossible Princess*
  
  It's her best album by far! Cannot believe anyone who likes Kylie could have managed never to listen to it: Did It Again, Breathe, Cowboy Style, Say Hey, Some Kin of Bliss... just some of the many superb tracks from the album. It is, seriously, one of the top 40 best albums ever produced.
  
  *I think it had a different name in the UK because of the whole Diana thing happening about a month before the album was released.

Can't remember what it's called...

but I've got it on blue vinyl with a gatefold sleeve, limited 100 presses. It's the b-side to the second release(first was crap) on that independent label out of Woolongomobong before she signed to PWL. Everything after that is shit, preferred her earlier stuff, anyone who thinks otherwise is a knob.

pretty sure...

...'I Should Be So Lucky' was the first seven inch i bought, aged very young indeed.

regardless, its terrible. best ones are:

1.Where The Wild Roses Grow
2.Confide In Me
3.CGYOOMH
4.Spinning Round
5.can't remember any others. would have to research. probably not going to tho.

    ...its my thing for Nick Cave which puts it there. i remember when it came out tho - had quite an impact - nobody had seen Kylie like that before. first signs suggesting the variances to come.
    
    meanwhile, it was rude to suggest i'm not going to research further. whats the point of reading these threads if you ignore the good advice being given? jumping into a few tracks mentioned above now.

        "Breathe" and "Did It Again" are the two tracks to beat, but I reckon you'll soon be thinking of "Say Hey" as a highlight too.
        
        Seriously one of my favourite albums of all time.

        I like esp. Breathe, Too Far, Did It Again, Say Hey, I Don't Need Anyone, Through the Years, Limbo. Too Far is one of the sexiest songs ever. The first 4 songs mentioned are really the best on this album.
        
        Thanks for recommendation. Indie Kylie is the best version of Kylie. ;)

Kylie would have made a great indie-pop ice-queen if she's continued down the Confide In Me/Wild Roses route

Not that she's not made some great, 'pure' pop in the meantime but it's starting to cloy a bit now. Bring back indie Kylie.
