3Definitely NOT CRAP. Hounds Of Love is an astonishing record. Her other stuff's not bad either.

5Her music has never appealed to me. She's probably an amazing talent and it just goes over my head. It's music for fairies (take that however you wish).
CRAP.
CRAP.

7Not crap.
Her dad was my first doctor when I was a toddler in Plumstead. I have no memories of Dr Bush, but I am told he was very pleasant.
My parents insisted on referring to her as "Auntie Kate" after this.

8Since I started this topic last year, I've really gotten into her music. She is almost like a Stanley Kubrick figure: reclusive, incredibly detail oriented, detested by the impatient corporation waiting to release her work, releasing something only once every few years.
In the early 80's she threw her fans a serious curveball with her album The Dreaming and alienated almost all of them. It's one of her best works, very experimental and varied in styles, and completely uncommercial in appeal.
For her album Hounds of Love, the record company forced her to change the name of the single "A Deal With God" to "Running Up That Hill" because they thought it would sit better with the religious demographic. She relented, and forever regretted altering her art because some pony-tailed exec said so. She vowed at that point never to let that happen again.
There was also a story recently about how a record company exec went to her home to see what she'd been working on. Instead of playing him half-finished tracks from her new album, she produced a tray of freshly-baked muffins.
I am therefore re-iterating my Not Crap vote.
