We can always post Kate Bush tracks aswell as artists inspired by La Bush...

I understand the thread title is a bit misleading now.

PS
Right now I'm listening to Agnel Obel. Not much Bush, but I have a feeling her new album will be more uptempo and eclectic.

A friend of ours gave us a copy of Agnes Obel's Aventine, which is an excellent album. Anyway, as we are talking of artists inspired by the one and only Kate Bush (whose fan I have been since the beginning of her career), I'd like to mention Bent Knee and their lead singer/keyboardist Courtney Swain. I have seen them live twice, and both times I heard echoes of Kate and Tori Amos, though mixed with lots of other influences. If you are not familiar with them, here's the link to their YouTube channel: http://https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRd-aSYP_8IROepkG2xhrDg

Michelle Young is another PA artist sometimes compared to Kate.  Although as is most often the case, such comparisons are mostly general....there is only one Kate we'd all agree. 


Fiona Apple is not very Kate like but she is very talented.  Her most recent album "The Idler Wheel" is just stunning to me.  Stark, intimate, almost desperate, but so beautiful.  Her best work in my view, followed closely by her debut "Tidal".    Her middle two albums are decent too but not in quite the same league.

On a more adventurous side we have the one and only Annette Peacock




Check this one out



(collaborated as composer and singer with Bill Bruford, a long long time ago)

I like her on Bruford.
Didn't know she had a solo album. I will check it out for sure.

Kate Bush

It took me many years but I finally "came around" to liking her. I first learned of her from seeing her 1979 appearance on Saturday Night Live. Overall, I liked what I heard but it took time to really understand her music. Most likely it was because her style was just so different from what I was used to at the time. It took a long time for me to "get" her style but I eventually did and I've been a fan ever since.

She is very mysterious and so are her lyrics. It's not everyone's cup-of-tea-pop music. Even the simpler songs have layers and layers of deeper meanings to it.

She's so far ahead of almost anyone.

Isn't Fiona Apple alos very good? Never got the chance to pick it up.
I will try the artists you mentioned.

Fiona Apple is like a jazz pop version of Layne Staley with dollops of humour to make the anger palatable (it is there, nevertheless).  Her music has increasingly moved in the direction of getting starker and more stripped (almost down to she and her piano).  She isn't just good, she is amazing. But not really influenced by Kate Bush at all. I would actually recommend When The Pawn...as the best starting point.  Idler Wheel may just be too stark for someone not initiated into Apple's work.

Fiona Apple gets my support, for sure - and has anybody mentioned Rickie Lee Jones already ?

I'm very into Agnes Obel, Susanne Sundfør and My Brightest Diamond these days.

I will really try all the tips:

Right now I collected these recommendations:
- Anette Peacock
- Knee Bent
- Fiona Apple
- Rickie Lee Jones
- Joanne Newsom
- Joni Mitchell

Anyone mentioned Lisa DalBello yet? She has some straightforward pop-stuff but also very experimental and progressive songs (even Heart and Queensrÿche covered songs from her).

OK, for Rickie I suggest :
"Pop Pop" , it's an album of covers, you'll love the way she recreates them, I hope
"Pirates" her classic from '81, five stars on my book

Then I would like to recommend WhoManFourSays of Dalbello.
It would blow your mind (it's a collaboration with Mick Ronson of Bowie). It's a progressive masterpiece.

I'm now playing Rickie Lee Jones (starting with the debut) and I realise I already knew Chuck E's in Love.
The music is kinda soul/r&b, and I like it. Not similar to la Bush, but maybe later albums are.
