Hello,the names Paul.
I've been listening to, and collecting all things Kate since about august 2002.
I had heard and known about Kate and her music before, but didn't really have much of a interest.(like most non Kate fans I'd heard wuthering heights,mwtcihe,ruth,babooshka etc.)then about 10 years ago I met a bloke who had a casual liking for kate bush.(he only had the whole story and neverforever on vinyl) so on a whim I later,(a lot later,about 3 years ago) copied his tws cd onto mini disc,but this ended up being lost in a drawer.
Then last year, whilst browsing amazon, I thought to my self, "what haven't i got that i might like?"
so I went and bought the remastered hounds of love,and then eventually the rest of her back catologue.
but I didn't stop there.
Then it was the videos, then cd singles, then the albums on vinyl, then the 7" singles.
Infact I am still collecting anything that takes my interest.

when i'm not listening to kate, I also like to listen to some of the following.
redhotchilipeppers,
nirvana
smashing pumpkins
aerosmith
black sabbath
dido
eminem
jimi hendrix
led zeppelin
pink floyd
peter gabriel
pantera
queen
rolling stones
sepultura
type o negative
blood hound gang
burzum
cradle of filth
david bowie
garbage
iron maiden
metallica
megadeth
white zombie
prong.

Welcome Paul/Brillo69!

Maybe you can give us the background on your user name, if you wouldn't mind!

Collecting Kate get's addicting, doesn't it? I know I just couldn't stop either, more that any other artist I like.

So you're a fellow Gabriel fan. I also like (of your's mentioned) Aerosmith, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen and the Stones. Not many other female artists, though. What do you think attracted you to Kate Bush specifically?

A little background on my username.
this name cameabout about 5 to 6 years ago when i took up guitar. (i've since given up)
i wasn't in a band but i liked to make up personal demo tapes,and needed a name for my work.
first off it was chalk,then the humbuckers,then finally brillo.i added the 69 for the username at a later date.
brillo is from brillopad and the 69 is self explanatory!
what attracted me to kate bush?
i'm not very good at explanations,but i think it's because unlike some artists,her music is different and original.every album sounds completly unlike the previous work.
also i find the melodies and the rythms "catchy"
like i said can't explain why,i just find the music to be very good.

Hey Brillo, you know crackheads use those pads.
And with 77 you get eight (sic) more.

Kate Bush says that we shouldn't be music snobs....But, Selpultura? And I actually saw 'Pantera' live once. Their opening act "Prong" blew their sh*t away.

Of your other favorites I like:

The Chili Peppers
Hendrix
Peter Gabriel

and some of:

Dido
Stones
Pink Floyd
Queen
Zeppelin. (I really prefer the older 'Yardbirds )
