Kate Bush-like artists
After hearing the debut album by Lyla Foy, it suddenly dawned upon me how many female artists have been stylistically inspired by her.
Here's just a few: Marina and The Diamonds Tori Amos Bjork Goldfrapp Lily Allen Nerina Pallot Bats For Lashes Lady Gaga Florence Welsh Are there any more you can think of? Any songs in particular? |

The above list would surely be incomplete without Siobhan Donaghy; remember her album 'Ghosts'.

Lily allen is nothing like a Kate bush type artist. My god, i've heard it all.
BJORK has openly admitted that Kate Bush's The Dreaming album was a huge influence on her when she started out. |

Not a current or even well known artist but there was a Japanese band in the 80s called Sandi and the Sunsets, Sandi was remarkably like Kate. I think they may still be around but have no idea if she is still similar.

I don't know if she lists Kate Bush as an inspiration, but Aimee Mann is a certainly similar artist.
Til' Tuesday - Looking Over My Shoulder Aimee Mann - Charmer edit: I just realized that there are 27 years difference between those two videos.. that's crazy. |

Also, how much was the young Kate Bush influenced by Noosha Fox (Only You Can) and Sparks ( This town ain't big enough for the both of us')? I love Kate Bush and she was(is) very influential but she didn't emerge from nowhere and she wasn't the only influential UK female of the late 70s/ early 80s. |

I can't see even the slightest similarity between Kate Bush and any of those singers mentioned. In fact I can't think of anybody like her at all. Strictly a one-off.

Well she named her as a big musical influence so I included her in the list

One of my Tracks of the Week a while back was Never Say Never by Alice Ostapjuk. Put her on your Ones to Watch list.

It never fails to amuse me how grown men and women get so wound up on this forum over nothing.

Lilly Allen?
lol Good grief As for Gaga, we know who's she's "inspired" by. She's such a knock-off of Madonna, she should be arrested for piracy. |

As a humungous Kate fan I have to say there's not one singer that is anything like her, especially in terms of song writing ability IMO. She's one of those completely unique artists that, for me anyway, is incomparable to anyone else.
