2023 Inductee Insights: Kate Bush

- 2023 Inductee Kate Bush has undeniably made her mark on contemporary music. Through her pioneering artistry, persistent integrity, and fearless thematic exploration, she helped redefine the industry's creative boundaries. Watch her full episode of #RockHall2023 Inductee Insights only on TH-cam, powered by @pncbank.
If you're American, you may not be aware of Kate's runaway global success since the '70s across Europe, Canada, Australia and more. Over a period of SIX DECADES, she placed 27 singles in the top 40 in her native UK (a third of those made the top ten). In 2014, she put ELEVEN of her albums in the UK top 50 AT THE SAME TIME, a feat matched only by The Beatles and Elvis. She was the first British female to score a #1 hit with a song she wrote herself ... and the first British female to debut an album at #1. She's released only one album that did not make the UK top 5 (that one only made it to #6). Despite all of this, she is most known for her enigmatic and unique songwriting, for her otherworldly production, for wresting control over her work from her record company, and for being a standalone artist who will not compromise her vision. She's received raves and admiration from Elton John, Annie Lennox, Duran Duran, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Sarah McLachlan, Bjork, Stevie Nicks, Cher, Coldplay, Lorde, FKA Twigs, Lindsey Buckingham, Courtney Love, Sinead O'Connor, Loreena McKennitt, Prince, Tori Amos, and many more. She's a musician's musician, obviously, and a writer's writer. So if you don't know her: stop complaining that she's not worthy, and get busy listening to her work! :)
Hear, hear sir!
you found out about her from stranger things quit lying smh
@@KeizerHedorah Wuthering Heights was literally one of the biggest worldwide hits in 1978
@yuridesouza480 Nope, you literally only know that song exists because you watched stranger things. Hipster
@@KeizerHedorah ok troll
I'm so happy for Kate, she deserves this so much! I wish they would've shown stuff from The Dreaming in this video since that's her most innovative work, instead of only playing the more pop-oriented songs from literally just two of her albums. They really could've made a better summary...
Yes!! Was waiting for it.
You read my mind. Well said.
Yes! The Dreaming is a masterpiece.
This is wonderful! My wife and I met 40 years ago because we are both huge Kate Bush fans, thinking we were the only ones in the American Midwest who had ever heard of her. My wife is battling cancer now, and she's counting herself lucky that she's lived to see this, and this compilation actually brought her to tears. Thank you.
This woman's work
My wife and I met similarly 36 years ago. She was with some friends visiting my roommate in my dorm room in college and saw that I had a couple of Kate Bush cassettes. She had been a fan since she lived in England as a child. Best wishes to you and your wife. Prayers for her health.
I wish your wife well in her cancer treatment. I also underwent such treatment. I also share in your love of Kate Bush. I send my very best wishes to you both.Lee
I'm sorry to read of your wife's illness. Her tears are surely a testament to the extraordinary power of music in our lives. As a fellow Kate fan (and American, though east-coast-er) since the 1980s, I'm thrilled also at her induction and resurgence of Running Up That Hill and all the respect being paid her, though I think your wife's reaction is the perhaps the greatest tribute an artist could ask for. Bless you and your family.
@midwestconcertvideo, I'm with you. I started listening Kate Bush since my early childfood in 70's. I was in Japan and moved to Hawaii later on. Noone around me ever understand who was Kate Bush. I'm pround I didn't give up to be a Kate Bush fan. Finally people in US started to know her music through Netflix movie few years ago.
Kate bush is unmatched, the greatest female singer songwriter the UK & the world has ever seen, completely unique talent unlike no other ❤
Songwriter composer producer arranger, responsible of her own success
I would put Alanis up there with her as far as the world goes.
@@iro9486 Funnily enough, Alanis Morissette stated Kate inspired her to become a singer in the first place.
So great she is.
It’s about time for Kate to be inducted ❤❤❤
So glad to see an American institution recognize her amazing talent. She's one of a kind in contemporary music.
I know the R&R Hall of Fame was created in and is mainly an institution of and for U.S. musicians, so it's not as easy for artists from other countries to be inducted. Kate Bush is a prodigy and a a true genius, she's probably more highly respected by legendary bands and artists than almost any of her peers in decades. It's a little sad that it took featuring a song on Stranger Things to finally get her inducted, but at long last we can be thankful she's in the Hall of Fame. I can't think of anyone more qualified, overdue, and deserving of this than Kate Bush.
Kate Bush is my FAVOURITE artist! It’s about goddam time that she was inducted! You are amazing Kate … love from Canada! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Been listening to her for 40 years. Wuthering Heights still gives me chills.
She’s not just a musician she’s an artist. She’s a musical genius of our time.
She's a musician who took control of what happen in studio... She's a female producer.
I'm so happy for Kate Bush she deserves this so much ❤
I am so happy for you cathhhyyyy this is such a big deal for us kb fans she is an icon in the music industry sad stuff from the dreaming wasn't included but hey
I love that she collaborated with artists like Peter Gabriel and Big Country. She is a talented artist that deserves to be inducted. Congrats!
That rarest of things, an actual creative genius
A truly one of a kind creative artist who paved the way for so many
9th anniversary today of Kate Bush being only the 3rd artist (after Elvis and the Beatles) to have 9 albums simultaneously in the top 40 of the UK album chart - 2 in the top 10 1:21
I'm happy for Kate Bush's induction. I hope this opens the door some of the peers like Grace Jones, Bjork and the great Sinead O'Connor. Not to mention other left field acts that were previously nominated like Bad Brains, Devo, Beck and Joy Divison/New Order.
It wasn't until this past year that I have become aware of Kate Bush's unique artistic ability. She is so creative in her approach and I am blown away by her style. Living in America I was not aware of her success as a performer. Thank you Kate for sharing your great gift and talent with the world.
Definitely deserved
Congrats kate such a unique artist
She should have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame a long time ago!!!
What a woman - and what an amazing songwriter - who has meant so much to me (and others) since the 70 's.
Songwriter composer producer arranger
I'm crying tears of joy to see this finally happen for Kate after watching that. I think her and David Bowie are the greatest artist of the 20th century. OXOXOX
Bring on the haters~ She is the most original artist, with the best catalog.
The haters can go to hell. My Muse is getting her due. Total Kick Ass Awesome.
I am more surprised to the fact she wasn't there yet.....Unique, Amazing, one of the best artists to ever write music.....
Lady so deserves it. ‘Running Up That Hill’ is one of those songs that just resurfaces every few years and is confirmed to still be a banger.
Another important way Kate Bush has influenced the music industry has been through her videos. Indeed, she was producing "music videos" well before MTV ever existed, and her incorporation of dance, story and visuals were profoundly original and influential.
Such a unique artist
We Need her comeback! Love Kate ❤️
I actually watched the Rock and roll Hall of Fame last night and I was fangirling the whole time during the intro for her
The hall of fame means little these days, but it's nice that she finally got inducted 🥰
Now go listen to her albums!
Wonderful artist that endures!❤❤❤
Been a fan of Kate since 1981. The first time I saw the video Wuthering Heights on Nickelodeon's Pop Clips. My favorite female singer.
I was thrilled when a British musician friend of mine, his not famous. He said when I sing, that I sound a lot like her. I can't hit her high notes unfortunately.
Kate has been my everything since age 7. She will always be my everything.
Queen of Alternative
Kate walked so so many could run. Absolute legend.
We need to see Nina Hagen inducted next.
Nina Hagen is "Die Stimme" of World! She is one of the best voices (With Kate) of the world! An incredible singer and performer. She deserves to be inducted. I've seen her so many times in concert.... what a woman what a singer what a voice.... She can sing every styles of music (Rock, pop, opera, jazz, disco, rap, Schlager, metal, reggae....). Thanks Nina & Kate for illuminating my life, to exist
Agree! Nina Hagen is brilliant. Would love to see Klaus Nomi recognised too
Kate is unique, a genre of her own making and she's female so it's little wonder that the Hall of Fame took their time. (Love her comment about the secret handshake, LOL!) I don't expect to see her there but hey, you never know. What if she were to turn up with her four man band like she did at the Secret Policeman's Third Ball? That would blow a few minds for sure!!!
Una de mis artistas preferidas!!!.
Por fin se dio porque se lo merecia hace rato!!! 💓
Tengo 23 años y desde hace tiempo me atrapo, llegue a ella gracias a que bjork la menciono y fue un viaje de ida🙌.
Pd. Bjork tambien se merce un Lugar!!! 😍
Not before time! ❤
I am a professional musician and I am indebted to Kate Bush for the way in which she has inspired me for over thirty eight years. Both mysticism and integrity stand at the heart of her work. She stands alone in her continuing ability to explore territories that are completely new. You may or may not know that the radio microphones we see today were something that she first asked to be invented in her only European tour in 1979. She asked the engineer to make a microphone that she didn't have to carry. So the microphone was made attached to a metal coat hanger!
If Kate's not worthy then who the he'll is??? I'm overjoyed for Kate FINALLY getting the recognition that she solidly deserves.
About damn time she's inducted
Kate's the best to do it!
Definitely one of the very best along with SADE.
Also look forward to the day when Sade is inducted.
And despite all of this the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame saw fit to snub her..... thrice; and had it not been for Stranger Things it is a racing certainty that it would have snub her.... again. Her belated inclusion says far, far more about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame than it does about her.
yep I'd not for strangerthings, Kate would've been waiting until the year 3000 to get in.
She was nominated 3 times before she was included, so that shows your statement is idiotic.@@KeizerHedorah
@bunjijumper5345 Oof I'm dealing with a simpleton, your statement supports mine jack. Kate would've been waiting until the year 3000 if not for stranger things.
Probably not as her reputation has been growing over the years. While always valued by other musicians she seems much more popular with younger critics. You only have to look at Rolling Stone who were real haters of her music back in the day but have put her high up in their relative rankings for singers and albums. RYM has had 3 of her songs among the best 25 of all time for the past 3 years. She didn't have any such recognition 10 years ago in the US. She has long been considered one of the very top artists in the UK.
I think this is a bit of bassackwards thinking and hear me out ... tho' I don't think the RRHoF is a paragon of creativity and artistic merit, the fact that they nominated her three times prior to Stranger Things speaks very well for them. Most acts never get any nomination, and Kate had (until 2022) never entered the top 25 of the US singles chart (only in the top 40 once!). Nevertheless ... they *wanted* her in ... they knew that her inclusion would legitimize them more than it does her. And that's not a bad thing. Sure, she should've been in twenty years ago, and on her first nomination ... but let's not draw knives over belated accolades.
I so wish two of my favourites, Tori Amos and Siouxsie and the Banshees, join this exalted league soon.
I listened Kate Bush in Brasil. She had a video in Fantastico, a Globo channel TV show. It was before John Lennon's tragedy. The United States didn't open for her music for many years
FINALLY!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome 👍
Amazing !
Kate Bush is my hero ❤
Yeasss.. Kate Bush
OMG YES! 😍
She changed everything
❤❤
You have Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell and everyone else.
🌎🌊🌲🔥🌪 ❤️
🇧🇷🙌💖
Kate and Dolly in the same year!
✌️🙏
An unlikely band to be inspired by Kate Bush: Metallica. Guitarist Kirk Hammett has cited her as one of the musicians the band was listening to during the Master of Puppets recording sessions.
Makes it even more fitting that the title track was the next song that resurged as a result of Stranger Things.
I can see that
Kate.🥰🩵♀️
👏👏👏👏
Meritatamente
Please consider a visit to CassiBawn Sligo Ireland ….
No.
Damn
They should have just played this at her induction instead of the intro by that whoever he was that did it.
I wonder why she didn't attend. It's a huge honor.
A real fan knows
Maybe for the same reason she doesn't like touring or appearing in interviews. The fame game was never her thing.
I remember Kate Bush when she was a shrub.
so a few years ago before stranger things lol
@@KeizerHedorah Yeah. Like 44 years before Stranger Things. You were probably still swimming around inside your old man's nuts.
@@KeizerHedorah You're so obsessed by Stranger Things. Anyone would think you're the one who hadn't heard of her before.
@warrenbridges1891 I, like everyone else, had not heard her before you are correct lol
I'm not sure "feminism" is really a subject or running theme in Bush's music. It's certainly not a filter that I've ever detected in her work. "Femininity" - very much so, in conveying many and varied iterations of (her) female experience, and narratives from (her) female vantage point. But hey, I guess you gotta insert a political point-score somehow, right?
In any case, it's nice that she's been acknowledged by the American museum of musical notoriety, but it's small change compared to the indelible legacy she's left on the art of music for the last 4.5 decades. A true artist in every sense - and in ways that the U.S. never bothered valuing before a nearly 40-year old single likely began making some stateside corporation serious coin.
I think Kate, rather than sloganeering about what women should be able to do, just went out and did it.
Truly deserving , of course she would not attend any ceremony.
Took yr time
A Netflix show got you inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. Let that sink
How’d you get inducted?
Ya try again. Just because it took a Netflix series for you to hear her doesn’t take away from what she’s done since the 70’s
Whatever it takes for the US to catch up with the rest of the World.
foreal tho lol stranger things completely changed Kate's life
@@KeizerHedorah Maybe but it means she is now worth 80 million rather than 70 - it could affect her future plans however.
But Iron Maiden still isn't in?
They have been big supporters of Kate Bush over the years. She has always had solid support from the metal community in the UK.
@kkhr1935 I like Kate Bush, but Maiden not being in the Hall is criminal.
@@Rob-Lobster Agree but not at her expense
@@mjarve909 you're right, I should have commented this on the Missy Elliott induction video 😂
So this dolt complains about Kate Bush not even realizing how big they are on Kate Bush, yet ignores the other artists. What a loser. @@mjarve909
I was so in love with her and her music. Unforgetable!
The hall needs a vote of no confidence.
lol stranger things really changed things for Kate lol
I think it allowed those Hall of Fame voters who worried about other voters to say, "yeah, Kate!" She's VERY well-known among musicians and songwriters, and her influence is often mentioned in their interviews. So I don't think "Stranger Things" really did that much for her in this respect ... it just garnered more attention to what the RRHoF already knew to be true.
@robbjmc2 Wrong, Stranger things is the only reason anyone knows her including you. Now crawl back under your bridge troll.
Yeah. Like Amadeus changed things for Mozart.
@@KeizerHedorah Wrong, ST is the primary reason US listeners (ignorant of Kate's accomplishments pre-ST) know her. Kate has always been big world-wide, sans-US. Signed, ignorant-no-more American.
@@GarthPrice-ej6bt Wrong, you just like everyone else found out about her from stranger things. sit down
when the ball microphone hides her mouth area she loses half her personality, IMHO.
@skpjoecoursegold365 More than compensated for when she's being interviewed.
There’s a lot of dancing about architecture going on in this asinine blurb.
@fromchomleystreet Should have included footage of Kate at the piano or the Fairlight CMI sampler, which she pioneered along with Peter Gabriel.
