Few women have expanded the vocabulary of rock as bewitchingly as Kate Bush; among male stars, only Prince may have taken as many risks. Hounds of Love saw Bush reining in the kookier aspects of The Dreaming, channelling them into epic electro-pop that tackled big issues of life and death and God with gripping drama and intensity. "Running Up That Hill" was one of the great singles of the '80s; "Cloudbusting" was string-driven, magically pretty; "Jig of Life" showed that Bush is one of the few pop artists who can flirt with Celtic mysticism without sounding twee or trite. Forget the riot grrrls: Bush is the real thing. --Barney Hoskyns

Kate at her best
In 1985 I bought the record and wore it out, literally! Then I bought the cassette and played it till it broke about a year ago. Bought the CD and still listening to it to this day. No one else, other than the Beatles, would cause me to do this. Kate Bush was awesome then and still is today. Do yourself a favor and run, do not walk, to get this CD. While you're there pick up Kate's "The Kick Inside" and listen to two Kate's! Both awesome in different ways.
