Kate Bush

I have all of her albums, a couple of singles, a boot DVD and a 4-CD boot with her live stuff, soundtrack work, and non-LP songs that were lifted from the box set "This Woman's Work".

Many of the heavy metal acts that qualify as prog acts are nothing more than noise to me, but then that's another story.

Yup.  She created her own world.  Only a small percentage of bands, progressive or otherwise, pull that off.

Best pop female vocalist ever.

She's surely running up that hill.

Her voice gets on my nerves, personally.

But maybe someday I will give her a listen and figure out what all the fuss is about, y'know? Never say 'never' with me. I tend to almost always enjoy an artist if I give them enough chances.

Still, I think if we're gonna talk about female vocalists, Tori Amos is infinitely better than Miss Bush, but I guess that's a matter of opinion.

So I'm guessing we won't be seeing it on DVD any time soon.  Wish they'd put out her video collection on DVD.

Yeah, well just like Waters and Gilmour, the artists are not always reliable in their own self assessment.  

Eh, I've probably posted this before, but The Red Shoes was a big a hit with me as everything before the first two albums, not that I don't like them.  I think to really appreciate The Red Shoes, you had to seen The Line, The Cross, and The Curve.  I went to see that at a theater in the mall (Phipps Plaza) with my last girlfriend before my wife.  The power went off on the way in, or maybe we were already seated, so we had to evacuate.  The power came back on as we were leaving.  It went back on and what do you know?  When we got back in to see it, the power goes off in an early scene of the movie.
