My favourite female prog artist!l. I have followed her since the release of "Wuthering Heights" and I have found little to disappoint me with each successive release of her albums over the years. "Hounds of Love" is my favourite album followed closely by "Aerial" and "Never For Ever". Kate is indeed a rare talent and a "National Treasure". HugBig smile

As ever Andy, you have immaculate taste. "Hounds Of Love" is still my favourite but "Aerial" is a close second now. The best female artist ever.

Sigh...HeartHeartHeart

She's a National Treasure!
 
Started listening to her just before Hounds Of Love was released.My favourite song is 'Man With The Child In His Eyes' (reportedly about Dave Gilmour).Her early albums have some wonderful orchestral arrangements (courtesy of Andrew Powell).On The Dreaming she experimented more with synths and ethnic folk ideas which eventually lead to what I consider her masterpeice- Hounds of Love.I like her recent album as well but you need to live with a KB album for 20 years to really appreciate it!

I was never much of a Kate Bush fan until i heard "Hounds of Love", what a brilliant work, a masterpiece! Kate is the best female writer and singer ever, no wonder she has the respect of Peter Gabriel and Dave Gilmour! Clap must hear "Ariel" one day.

I think Aerial is good, but not nearly as exiting as her earlier albums.

Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell are my favorite women in music. I do feel sorry for every talented female (by a piano). Must feel like a curse always getting compared to these two.


ClapClapClap

I love Joni Mitchell too. Fantastic voice, and the lyrics...Heart

Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

One of my favourite artists of all time.Heart I've been a fan of hers for about 25 years, and I own most of her albums.

BTW, I agree 100% on "Aerial", so much that I gave it 5 stars in my review of it.

Lets here it for the one and only Kate Bush.Clap Thanks must go to David Gilmour for helping speed things up with her career. Her latest work is a real treat (Aerial).

She has done something no one else has done as far as I know. Turning PI into a song. The song does end however. Smile

Your thoughts on Kate's career???
