    Could you not have asked an easier question like "Whats the meaning of life"?? As Wiki eloquently put it "...difficult to define the musical genre of Bush's work because there are few other artists like her."

    IMO she's one artist I don't think should/can be pidgeonholed.

    Singer / songwriter . . . . .

    Pop just seems too 'vulgar' where Miss Bush is concerned.

    At a push - Classic Pop!
    All the world's a stage and we are merely players . . . . .

    its a difficult one, and like you said I was leaning more towards folk, possibly creating a new genre and calling it contemporary folk rock or contemporary folk pop??

    What about Glass Shattering Female Crooner :L

    She`s a mix of pop,rock,folk and classical - so that particular sub-genre would be defined as porofocla

    Pop ? ha ha ha ha ha ha, would you call Picasso a house painter, jeezo, whatever next, Led Zepp as a boy band, The Pistols as emo ( whatever that nonsense means ) Guns and Roses as a rockabilly act. I thought that the Foo Fighters were an ideal example of a pop group ( bit loud though ), she sounds sorta different to them in ways.

    Good question actually, she is quite possibly one of a few who remain undefinable as regards a genre classification. Top girl, obviously causes plenty annoyance.

    Can't stand the woman's music whether she was ten years old or fifty when she wrote it.

    Thought that as an artist yourself you would at least appreciate her undoubted imagination and very youthful musical ability, dont really like her stuff myself but obviously millions of people do.

    Hanson recorded their first album when they were still in the womb, but it matters not. Kate Bush was a slightly eccentric, quite creative oddball who lends further weight to the suggestion that the 80s should be completely, and utterly, destroyed. Now Hazel O' Connor on the other hand...

    i would say kate bush in the eighties is alternative pop.

    she wasnt bubble pop and it wasnt the 80's goth scene or the new romantics....the only genre i can say is alternative electro pop.

    running up that hill and cloud busting personal faves.
