Kate Bush

Agree with your remarks both on her looks and her music.

Hounds of love is my favourite pop/rock CD of all time. I thought Aerial was an amazing comeback, but 50 Words for Snow made less of an impression on me.

I recommend the BBC4 documentary about her on YouTube (4 links, see here).

Yes I watched that documentary and it was really enjoyable.
Aerial was an amazing comeback and I agree it was a better album than 50 words. She specialises in making comebacks with the amount of time it takes her to get a record out nowadays. I was really sorry not to see her live recently when she did a few dates in London. She probably won't do any more as it was her first live dates since the 70's.

Hounds of Love is one of my favourites - I'd probably put it very near the top. Hello Earth continues to send tingles down my spine 30 years after first hearing it and I can't say that about many pieces of music.

Cool... I never heard her. Which albums should I start off with?

I loved her and her music back then. I haven't heard any since the late '70s/early '80s, when she disappeared from the musical landscape (and my interest left pop behind). Has she done any Lieder albums? Opera?

@Brotanganist == No Lieder or Opera I'm afraid

@Albert - Most people would consider Hounds of Love her masterpiece. It also contains a few top 10 hits. Shows both her 'pop' side and her artistic side. If you like Tori Amos you should like Kate as she heavily influenced Tori.

Cool beans. Much appreciation and I will add that to my iTunes wishlist.

Not much of a fan myself, but I like Wuthering Heights a lot. Plus, her duet on Don't Give Up.

The first two albums are VERY strong and there are plenty of good songs after that. It might not be critics' choice, but side 1 of Lionheart is my amazeballs Kate experience

I enjoyed her The Sensual World album the most. And yes, I do think she is remarkably beautiful. I'm a big fan.
