Hey! I HATED her the first time I was introduced 2 her in 1987, but after a few weeks, I started humming some of the songs. I still can't listen 2 "Waking The Witch" after 30 yrs. It scares the shit outta me when I'm alone, so I usually skip that one, but my #1 fave song is "Never Be Mine." LOVE "The Red Shoes," but especially am blown away by "Aerial." Nice 2 meet u!

I was a huge fan up to The Directors Cut, which I found disappointing as all the remakes aren't as good as the originals, but no biggie.

Then came 50 Words For Snow, the first Kate Bush album that I thought was alternately tedious and dull throughout.

Then the concerts. The tickets were far too expensive and were only held in London. I thought that was contemptuous of her fans. After over thirty years of no live gigs, the very least the multi millionaire could have done was charge a reasonable price (in a time of so-called austerity) and actually travel to the fans with a tour.

I still like almost everything before The Directors Cut, but the details of the concerts left a nasty taste my mouth.

Man I love nothing better than turning the lights down and playing that whole second side.

Where the fuck is that damn dvd?

Love her.

Nothing else to say.

"Director's Cut" was a complete waste of time 4 me too. Instead, she should have simply remastered her entire discography with 2nd discs of "director's cuts." "50 Words" is beautiful, wintery bliss in my opinon. Slow, yes, but as rich as anything else she's ever done.

I think I'll revisit 50 Words soon and see if my opinion on it has changed, I don't think I've played it since I bought it.

I so loath Kate Bush. Ear terrorism.
