In America, a lot of people know her because she sang with Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up." I don't think she ever toured here, but she did get support on alternative radio in the '80s. She's kind of her own genre, and she's influenced a lot of great artists, from OutKast to Bjork. Personally, I weigh influence more than album sales. She deserves to be in. But I didn't vote for her this year.
Congratulations to Kate Bush who was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2023 this week! Needless to say Ms. Bush was overwhelmed by the honor, posting on her website:
“I have to admit I’m completely shocked at the news of being inducted into the Hall of Fame! It’s something I just never thought would happen. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me. It means a great deal that you would think of me. It’s such a huge honour. Now as part of the initiation ceremony I get to find out about the secret handshake… there is one, right?”
I think it’s always tremendous when Classic Alternative acts get their due, so let’s take a look and listen to 10 Kate Bush tracks you should know.
