Anybody that has heard and appreciated Kate Bush can be my lifelong companion.
Most noted by her haunting tunes and voice, Kate has remained a top icon in the artist's world (and mine). A few artists you may be familiar with that are influenced by Kate: Imogen Heap, Bjork, Tori Amos, The White Stripes, Owl City, Stevie Nicks, Ellie Goulding, Bat For Lashes, Depeche Mode, Madonna and Lady Gaga.
"Brought to the attention of EMI Records at the age of sixteen by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour – as a prolific schoolgirl prodigy with already around two hundred of her own compositions – Kate Bush famously enjoyed a three year period of artistic development before being launched upon an unsuspecting world."
My favorite album would have to be "The Dreaming"; there is not one track on that album I'm not impressed with, time and time again.
Named in 1987 as the Best Female Solo Artist in the BRIT awards, she is still the most unique artist (that is talented) I have ever heard. One of Britain's living icons, she continues to shake the world today with her atmospheric mystery, passion, and complex aural detail.
