K, so why hasn't she got any kind of Outstanding Contribution award yet? She's practically singlehandedly moulded the likes of Florence + The Machine, Bjork, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Goldfrapp...

In 1978, at age 19, she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut song "Wuthering Heights," becoming the first woman to have a UK number-one with a self-written song.

In 2002, Bush's songwriting ability was recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

Bush released The Kick Inside when she was 19 years old, but some of the songs had been written when she was as young as 13.

Still in love with this song. So perfectly beautiful in it's simplicity.

love that album.

And it's a difficult decision, I mean there's a lot of competition :tongue: Dusty, Nina, Joni, Janis...hmm.

[MrGaryy]

she's got nothing on Lady GaGa tbh.

[setanta]

She actually reminds me of a female David Bowie or something, in terms of how she represents herself and the variety of influences in her music. Just brilliant stuff.

[setanta]

she's got nothing on Lady GaGa tbh.

I hope that you're joking.

[Mrluvaluva]

Is it my eyes or did Diana Vickers just turn into Lady GaGa?

[MrGaryy]

Is it my eyes or did Diana Vickers just turn into Lady GaGa?

yah last minute I realised GaGa was both of their's superior.

[Shaun]

Sure she is.

I really should listen to Kate Bush more than I actually do. She is very talented.
