If it’s of any interest, consider studying and diving into Tori Amos. That woman is empowering. She is an ethereal, fiery red headed fairy creature of a woman with an incredibly loyal fan base and a bad ass existence. If you haven’t given her a listen yet, consider her. I really hope you enjoy yourself. @micthesnare

[@prenticeclark1454]

One thing about Kate that you didn’t really mention is her vocal range. As a first soprano myself who wanted to sing pop rather than classical, she was a massive influence on me. Most 80s female vocalists were belting in the alto range, but Kate was singing unapologetically very high, swooping across her entire range, growling and screaming one minute then switching to a clear pure tone the next. Singing along to her albums thousands of times made me the singer that I am. This might also be why I like her earlier albums more than you do (although I love them all). Also the first time I listened to Hounds Of Love I was 15 and alone in the house… Under Ice and Waking the Witch came on and my heart started pounding with actual visceral terror… I’ve never been frightened by music like that since… And then I sang along to it a thousand times

[@raycornford283]

Kate's vocal range as a 19yo was immense - 3 +1/2 octaves, I believe

[@36inc]

as an alto singer I too like to sing to kate bush songs- but the result is Im usually grasping at notes I cant comfortably sit in. its whatever cant help some limits but boy is she such an inspiring singer.

[@twkotb]

Never Forever is the KB album I listen to the most. It’s just so much darn fun (except when it’s achingly not, as in Army Dreamers and Breathing). The variety is huge... I mean, ‘Violin’ followed by ‘Infant Kiss’! Overall, a huge leap in sonic inventiveness and variety, songwriting skills (every song is really good), finding-her-voice-ness (Bowie and other obvious influences are gone), etc. Whilst I get why the ‘transitional album’ descriptor is used when discussing Never Forever, my heart sinks a little when it’s leant on heavily. So it’s lovely to hear the album discussed in-depth and really appreciated in this vid. But dash it all, Mic the Snare, I demand you breathlessly recommend it from now on!!

[@troygaspard6732]

The Dreaming remains one of my favorite albums of the 80's. Pull out the Pin alone is reason enough. She wrote a song from a Viet Cong soldier's point of view, who else would go there? It was her own fearless vision that makes The Dreaming such an influence on so many musicians.

[@MrBeachMadness]

"The Dreaming" is the record that I keep going back to. Regardless of how it did with the critics, I see that album as the distillation of her youth. It's filled with all the fantasy and childlike melodrama that was on her earlier albums, but it's not filtered by other executive voices in the production...it's all her. oh, and the "bagpipes" on the records is a more specifically Irish instrument called Uilleann pipes (pronounced "illin") played by her brother Paddy.

[@stardusth2o]

Mrs. Bartolozzi is a song of her’s that is criminally underrated. I think most people find it clunky because of the “washing machine” lyric, but I think it perfectly captures the mundanity she’s singing about and it makes it that much more powerful when it’s juxtaposed with the passionate memories of her dead husband in the lyrics. “I watch them going round and round, my blouse wrapping itself around your trousers” … the song’s about a lot more than laundry, honey! Also, the line that says “out of the corner of my eye, I think I see you standing outside but it’s just your shirt hanging on the washing line waving it’s arm as the wind blows by and it looks so alive nice and white just like it’s climbed right out of my washing machine” evokes such imagery and coupled with her vocal performance…I always stop breathing during that part.

YESSS! And the 'slooshy-sloshy' sounds like some patronising tv ad that talks down to women, when she knows herself and the gravitas of her own life.

[@alrickmagnin3226]

The way I really did not think about you covering her discography but I absolutely needed this?

[@LiquidIronTV]

Pull Out The Pin is possibly Kate Bush's most underrated song- incredibly evocative and raw. Love that whole album. Another great obscure Kate Bush song is Humming (rumored to have been written about David Bowie), off of a collection of B-sides and demos called The Other Sides- worth checking out, along with the rest of the stuff on that collection of songs.

[@petalchild]

Yes, absolutely my favorite song on The Dreaming, which is my favorite Kate Bush album. Makes me tear up almost every time I listen to it.

[@supermaxim109]

The Humming demo is divine!

[@ChristopherSmith-il6fo]

Mic is always ahead of the trend

[@SpectrumHour]

This is the one! The commentary is on point and has me wanting to check out more of her music. Incredible work

[@rafael8892]

I simply adore LEAVE IT OPEN, her voice, the arrangements.. Oh boy. A masterpiece!

[@zaradragonia9863]

Weiird. I know quite a few people who really like that song. But I much prefer Get Out of House or Night of the Swallow. Brilliant

[@morevalue9422]

Loved the video man! You deserve way more subscribers! Could you add Genesis to the next poll? They are my favorite band and you got me wanting it talking about Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel

[@sethpajak]

For me the Kate Bush song that had the most impact on me was The Dreaming. I just loved it she had so many amazing songs.

[@tylermane77]

It seems Hounds of Love is the favorite for most, but The Kick Inside is so damn smooth.

[@oliviermocellin5411]

Been a fan of Kate Bush since 1980, when she released Babooshka, as I was just 10 years old. And she's still my favorite artist because her albums are so deep and special. I've got a lot of favorite songs: Cloudbusting, Moments of Pleasure, The Man with the Child in his eyes, A Coral Room, Hello Earth, Breathing, Night of The Swallow, Suspended in Gaffa, Army Dreamers, Nocturn, Misty are among my favorite ones.

[@Digikid313]

Hey Mic/Nick. I love your work on this series. Even when talking about an artist I know nothing about, you make everything super engaging. May I make a humble request/suggestion that you consider covering Rush in this series someday, or at least add them to future polls? I'd love to hear your fresh takes on their albums, as most Rush related content on KZbin feels very biased.

[@afdarkentertainment4706]

Gated reverb also needs to be credited to producer Hugh Padgham, who worked with Phil Collins. It’s said he discovered the “snare sound of the 80’s” prior to “in the air tonight” while working with XTC on “Making Plans for Nigel”, and OH BOY, do they deserve a DDD. Amazing video as always :)

[@danielsimmich1858]

The Dreaming was my first Kate Bush album and boy was it the perfect introduction for me. I definitely recommend checking out some of her leaked demos btw. Stranded On The Moonbase was written and recorded when she was like 17 or something? It’s really good

[@jooree7696]

What a good video. I'm sure it won't get attention after some kind of coincidence involving a song she released and a random tv show

[@AndrewGarland]

amazing video! btw you should add mac demarco to the poll next time if you can

[@ricardofarrera9251]

Hi! Every video you drop is such a treat, man. Best channel I follow by far. Keep up the amazing work.

[@eliseevensen1750]

I guess I am one "of the few people" who really, really, really fucking enjoyed Never Forever..

[@SuperTank121212]

Low-key my fav outside of pure discussion mode. I always say: Whereas Hounds of Love is for the heart, and The Dreaming for the mind, Never For Ever is for the soul; it's earthly yet ethereal.

[@mikeliskengis108]

“She could fully recite the numbers of Pi in a song and it would be beautiful” PLAYS SONG “What you thought I was joking?” Actually no Mic, that is actually exactly what I expected to happen when you said it

[@Whitestripe71]

What a great video! She's by some distance my favourite artist, and it's great to see such a comprehensive and insightful overview of her work. Also, I enjoyed seeing 50WordsForSnow getting the appreciation it deserves, as it's an album that can often be overlooked, but I think it's an immaculate, perfect masterpiece.

[@deanjonasson6776]

Great job, Mic! You showcased so many highlights from the amazing work of Kate Bush, including her incredible covers and b-sides. For those who are interested, these are collected on the 4(!) disk THE OTHER SIDES. As the title indicates, this is yet another way of experiencing the brilliance of Bush. Looking forward to more DDD discoveries.

[@grahamkristensen9301]

To anyone who's here after hearing Running Up That Hill on Stranger Things, hello and welcome.

[@ericazirkin896]

Man With The Child in His Eyes is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[@alexisatkinson7420]

Love your useof the word assuaged XD haven't heard that one since my SAT prep + teaching days

[@FatSacks]

A few years ago I watched one of your videos but didn't really stick around and watch anything more from the channel. I got a video in my recommendations and watched a few more videos after, and I absolutely love every joke you throw in here.
