Stranger Things introduced Kate Bush to a new generation of fans and put a 37 year-old song on the pop charts. It's fitting -- even when "Running Up That Hill" was new, Kate Bush's music always did seem out of time.

Massive Attack featuring Tracey Thorn, "Protection"

Massive Attack's "Protection'' was built around a sample of a sample. That James Brown sample is taken from a song about revenge that he released as an act of revenge itself. Tracey Thorn, whose partner in Everything But The Girl nearly died and spent months in the hospital, turned it into more than a love song; she made it a song about love.
