HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE BUSH !

[Guest Dot]

I have a question about her and I'm not hating, I swear. Was she really famous back in the days? Because everytime I see stans of her and that doesn't happen very often they seem to be hardcore stans. It seems like they're trying to remind people of her existince (Lady Gaga as well), whereas if she would've been famous back then this wouldn't even be necessary nowadays. Please enlighten me.

Why don't you simply use Wikipedia and look up her sales and certifications?

 

 

Anyways, I love Kate. A true artist.

I looked her up, but I had no idea she had such an impact on music back in the days. I also don't get why people have been compared to her so much.

When you are lucky enough to have a career going since 1978 and sell out 22 London gigs in the Apollo in less than 15 minutes, it says enough.

And how to describe the impact of an artist when you have not lived in that time? The first female to get a No.1 song with a self-written song, the first female who produced her own album with age 21 /22 (!!!), the first artist experimenting with electronic sounds on a big commercial release. She was indeed what people say so carelessly these days, ahead of her time, without even trying. It was just natural to her.

Dude, chill. I was curious about her, because I have never ever heard of her. I also don't ever see people talking about her as an icon, but apparently she is, which makes it understandable for me to see why people keep trying to make her legacy live on. But it's sad that she seems merely forgotten nowadays, except for her die-hard fans and older people that were alive back then.

 

As I said, my post was never meant to be shady. Her sales and wiki don't really tell me much about her in that sense.

I wasn't pissed, don't worry 

 

I am pretty sure that many artists these days still admire Kate and check her out, especially in England. Her music is deeply rooted in England and yeah, she gets an almost god-like treatment there from everybody. She was never huge in America, probably because she despised promoting and never toured since 1979 in Europe. Back in the day, if you wanted to be heared in the States, you needed to tour your ass off, radio was not that important as today.

 

What I personally love about Kate besides her music? Her speaking voice is almost angelic, she is very shy and never in a star-modus, eloquent & gentle. Not a diva. And yeah, artists like her don't happen that often, maybe once in our lifetimes, which is kinda sad.

 

If you ever want to listen to Kate, listen to The Dreaming and Hounds Of Love. An album like HOL could teach our girl Lona Delery lots about songwriting and being cohesive without repeating yourself.

 

SRSLY, somebody needs to give Lana Hounds Of Love asap.
