Personally, I started listening to her because of the much smaller "wuthering heights fandom". Regardless of how people get into her, it's good to hear people are finally listening to her in the states.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoAt least in America, it feels like Running Up That Hill is more popular now than in the 80s. In the 80s, I never heard it on the radio and I had no friends who even knew of Kate Bush.
- tptacek 4y agoIt was a staple of late-80s early-90s alt-rock radio, and appeared in a couple soundtracks.
- wyclif 4y agoI grew up in America and had the famous Kate Bush "leotard" poster on my bedroom wall. She wasn't as well known in the US because she didn't tour much outside of the UK. But she still had a cult of devoted fans in the US. Also, you have to remember that in the late 1970s the record companies were casting around for anything new that didn't sound like disco. That's how she got her first contract, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd sort of discovered her and helped her make her first demo, then presented it to his record company contacts. She's a genius artist and she deserves all the new attention she's getting.
