Where do I go once I've exhausted her discography?

You can never exhaust her discography, just go away from it for a while, then return.
Have you heard *everything*?
Joni Mitchell and Joanna Newsom are the only comparable songwriters. There is usually a lot of complaint about how people only compare female artists to other female artists, but in this case it’s perfectly justifiable. You could maybe compare Kate to people like Peter Gabriel and David Bowie but it’s a completely different listening experience. These three female artists all share a unique feminine sensibility that is very prominent in their work.
>Joni Mitchell
Bush is far more comparable to Gabriel and Bowie than to Joni Mitchell. She's much more interesting and inventive.
Either you’re completely unfamiliar with Joni Mitchell’s output or your idea of inventiveness is seriously warped. Joni is one of the most original and sophisticated songwriters of her era and it could even be said that she paved the way for people like Kate Bush to happen. Kate is indeed talented but I would disagree completely that she is more interesting than Joni. Maybe as a producer, but Joni was a more accomplished songwriter.
This, Milla's "The Divine Comedy". I'm seriously not kidding, even though this is Milla "Resident Evil" Jovovich we're talking about.

Joni Mitchell had zero to do with Kate Bush. I'm not interested in what you think. Yes, I'm familiar with Joni Mitchell's work, and her artistic personality and lyrical style, after the initial impact has worn off, are pretty monotonous and eventually unpleasant. There are worlds in Bush's music, only regions in Mitchell's. And Bush's production is intrinsic to her work - she creates soundworlds.
jump off a cliff
Kate Bush imo is a better studio artist but Joni the better songwriter and frankly I prefer her voice. Blue is better than any Kate Bush album but I would say probably her discography is less varied than Bush
except kate bush is a vapid pop star in the style of madonna while joni mitchell is one of the greatest folk musicians of all time
i agree they have little in common
You can tell she's a superhero not only by her remarkable contributions to society but she uses a pantie above her tights.
Tights I'd love to keep intact and smell every night.
t. hasn't listened past Court & Spark
Seriously dude check out her next few you'll love them
The only correct answer is the first 5 or 6 Tori Amos albums
>the better songwriter
I don't know how anyone can think this, really.
>frankly I prefer her voice
So you're just a Joni fan stomping into a Kate Bush thread to shill Joni? Get out!
>Blue is better than any Kate Bush album
Fuck no. Blue is... just, no.
>discography less varied
Yes, hence "more interesting and inventive", which is what I said originally.
Why have such a strong opinion when you clearly haven't listened to anything but maybe Kates debut? But I agree they are a shit comparison there's nothing really linking them musically people just bring them up together because vagina. Similar to telling people they should try Bjork if they liked Dylan.
>imagine disliking Joni Mitchell's Blue
I SPIT ON YOU AND YOUR BABY TASTE. i dont even know how you operate a computer when you are so clearly a poopy diaper baby shitting and drooling everywhere
Odd definitions of "vapid" and "folk" here. The idea that "folk" should mean "solipsist with an acoustic guitar" has always seemed totally contrary to the history of what folk music was.
I don't dislike it, but a great journal is not a great novel, and a great diarist is not a great storyteller.
Blue is iconic but it's really strange to compare it to HoL. I could easily argue points for either of them being better and I hate to even say I prefer HoL because it's such a retarded comparison. If you wanted to compare the two why would you choose Blue when Kates better stuff makes it look like childs play? Pick Hissing of Summer Lawns or Hejira at least jfc.
Calling Kate a vapid pop star and Joni just a folk artist just screams that you don't know either of their discographies except the couple of early Joni albums you've heard and loved and that time you watched a few Kate videos on youtube. Both of them are more than you think they are. Just listen to more music dude.
>Hissing of Summer Lawns or Hejira
Even then, neither of those cohere. Mitchell may be more writery - though that's not quite true either - but she isn't as much of a composer/producer (and Bush was one of the first artists to really make composition and production the same thing). Mitchell changes her sound by hiring some guys to do their thing, while Bush can take the same group of muscians in radically different sonic directions. Even when she's integrating an existing ensemble, as she did when working with Trio Bulgarka, she gives them stuff to do/signify that totally departs from their original context. Joni just be like "I want to sing with Weather Report".
>derails thread with one retarded comment
Try early tori amos and bjork if you want the feminine sensibilities in the same vein of music. The joni and joanna comparisons are lazy as fuck theyre not similar just because theyre all heavily female pov imagine if you did this for male artists and people told you to check out kanye west if you liked elliot smith
>accuses others of lazy comparisons
>recommends shameless Kate epigone Tori Amos
joanna newsom, gazpacho
Jane Siberry. Sandy Denny.
Grimes.
This is so retarded and Kate is my all time favorite artist by a huge gap. You really just know a lot about Kates work and little about Jonis and while they aren't comparable because they worked so differently this is such a gross mischaracterization of Joni after all of her amazing songwriting and jazz work and most of all just her guitar work in general, her impact etc.
Really they are just impossible to compare.
One last point... if Kate Bush came up with a cover like pic related, you'd know she was kidding.
Listen to her demos, they're great.
And as said, Jane Siberry, especially her album No Borders Here. Peter Gabriels third and fourth solo albums also work.
>Tori Amos pianist
>Bjork sample experimental trip-hop researcher
How can you say they on the same vein of music? Tori Amos can be compared to Fiona Apple and still will struggle to come to a point of connection and reference.
Those 3 are my favs along with PJ Harvey but Babooshka isn't Babooshka for being the mother, Kate Bush is a totally different thing and can't either compare with folk/country (Cultural derived music) as Mitch Mitchell.
Newsom as a harpist with almost a book written per song can't enter the comparison either and sometimes you wonder if her word salads are a work of autism yet I don't think that should be an insult just point out her real lyrical power.
When Kate Bush came all London was shaking, she was something really new and her vocal register is as unique as to the others.
Naw she had her own thing but yeah she is compared so much for good reason. Apparently they moved tori out to london and even tried to market her as the next kb. She comes into her own esp after the first album imo.
She's a distinctive guitarist, but her amazing songwriting amounts to journalling, and her jazz work amounts to hiring jazz musicians. Sorry, but it's the truth. Joni Mitchell is great as far as it goes, some sublime moments and witty lines, no question, but like I said, we're in regions with her, not worlds.
>Naw she had her own thing but yeah she is compared so much for good reason.
I must say I've listened to relatively little because I found the Bushisms of her singing style were giving me second-hand embarrassment. I mean, how can you be gauche enough to do that, then say "I'd never heard of her, I guess there is a similarity" when people point it out. It's not quite Vanilla Ice level but it's embarrassing. I will give her more of a listen though.
>Tori Amos can be compared to Fiona Apple and still will struggle to come to a point of connection and reference.
Ehhh... if you're saying that Tori Amos is no more like Bush than Fiona Apple is, I agree, but not for lack of trying on her part.
Tori Amos did baroque piano pop with electronic elements and plenty of electric guitar, gets experimental but sticks to pop. Uses her voice oddly like Kate, she was a pretty clear influence. Her and Peter Gabriel have always been the most similar musically.
Fiona did baroque piano pop too but she wrote a lot of ballads without much extra instrumentation, a bit of jazz and in there quite a bit and she focused heavily on lyricism. Her and Tori def have similarities but I'd sooner compare Fiona to early Joni desu.
There’s nothing “uniquely male” about Elliott Smith’s perspective or music. There is about Kanye west’s music and that’s why he sucks ass and is a horrible untalented musician.
Everyone on this thread is so fucking stupid, you are literally arguing subjective taste when OP simply asked for recommendations based on an artist we all enjoy.
We're having fun, and I think it's valid to say that Kate Bush is closer to Bowie and Gabriel than to Joni Mitchell - she's very feminine, yes, but her sonic invention/storytelling is a different kind of thing from Mitchell's approaches. I assume that we love Bush for her soundworlds, and so this seemed worth saying.
She's got a lot of vocal Tori-isms that are really off putting, and then really charming after you get a feel for her, but then really off putting again later in her career because it starts being forced after she realizes what people are expecting lol
What the fuck. I made the original comment comparing Kate Bush with Joni Mitchell. It IS true that they are not in the same genre at all, but I do firmly stand by my original comment that they are comparable in the sense that they're highly feminine, sensitive and melodic.
I'm not sure how it's even possible to get so worked up over such a statement. These are both amazing artists in their own right, but when I listen to their music, I personally find they make me feel similarly awestruck
Kate Bush has played a lot of piano-based pop music and she even flirted with folk many times. Joni Mitchell has plenty of piano-based folk pop and even some art pop songs.
The bizarre synths of Jungle Line:
youtube.com
The intricate, proggy, complex piano arrangement of Car On A Hill:
youtube.com
It is obvious that they're not that similar and they both did their own thing, but if you think it's such an immense stretch to compare them, then that's your problem.
I find it a lot more stupid to compare Kate Bush with Björk, for example, as they share zero in common as songwriters and producers. Sonically Kate is a lot closer to Joni than to Björk.
And insulting/belittling Joni Mitchell just makes you look like a complete idiot, really.
>There’s nothing “uniquely male” about Elliott Smith’s perspective or music.
I feel Elliott Smith is uniquely male, actually senpai. His whole thing of writing songs that implicitly condemn other people, especially women, while phrasing and performing in just such a way as to paint himself as the underdog, is very male. He's male in a David Foster Wallace way. His fans: "he's so sensitive!" Him: "my purpose is to put my penis in as many vaginas as possible."
I have heard kate bush's entire discography and still think she's a vapid pop star. maybe she had talent but she was too embarrassed to go anywhere with it because she wanted hit singles.
joni was a multi-instrumentalist who became a great jazz chanteuse eventually.
how much of a pleb you have to be to think kate bush is better than joni? lol.
>Kate sucks ass but I'm familiar with her entire discography anyway
lol stop lying bro if you had you wouldn't have that objectively wrong opinion
You seem to be answering two people. I have argued for Bush over Mitchell, but I didn't compare her with Bjork or insult Mitchell.
Bush has sung folk, and she was raised with folk music, but actual folk music, not that thing Californians do.
>vapid pop star
Nonsense, and you clearly haven't listened to her work.
And before you say it, yes I know Mitchell is a Californian by adoption, but she's much a Californian act as her fellow Canadian Neil Young. There's an idea of sensitivity=being easily hurt which is very Californian.
We can compare them to anyone if we're going to cherry pick all day
If you compare two female musicians that don't always have the same kind of fans and expect people to fling shit at the other side and hate even more
Joni did the contemporary folk thing for a while, but if you listened to her work then you'll know she moved away from it starting with Court And Spark.
lol what you think i didn't hear the dreaming or the ninth wave? the """experimental"'"" kate bush? oh yea i have. still vapid pop shit.
If you actually read people's posts you'd see that what you mean by "contemporary folk" is what I meant by "that thing Californians do".
>If you compare two female musicians that don't always have the same kind of fans and expect people to fling shit at the other side and hate even more
We were having a fun exchange, it was lighthearted, not shit-flinging.
oh god the edge
Joni's first 6 albums are a complete snoozefest. They all sound the same and have the same boring guitar strumming and boring piano.
Exhaust your balls by cumming to her 10 times a day
And if you'd interpreted my post correctly you'd know that I understood what you meant and just mentioned that she moved away from contemporary folk -- which you referred to as "that thing Califorrnians do" -- with Court and Spark, and never returned to it.
the Chad Peter Gabriel vs the Virgin Kate Bush
I already knew that, and nothing in my post implied that I didn't.
This is clearly by the same asshole as the "vapid pop" comment, and Ima Hide Post.
Yeah, I'm thinking you need to go back.

This. Paddy Bush (Kate's brother) and Colin Lloyd Tucker. Very good world music, nice and calming.
This is really pathetic.
Sandy Denny's on another level entirely. Don't make me laugh about the other two.

Based. Better than Mitchell at least. How she manages to integrate all those chord changes in a less than 3 minute long song amazes me.
Meh they’re just different imo. Blue is a masterpiece but both artists are incredible. Totally agreed, and somehow her songs still sound cohesive and organic despite all the transitions
Well good job posting a picture of her album too small to read. What's her name? Laura Negro? No wonder she's unknown, she's a nazi.
Hey guys, I like hounds of love and the dreaming, but I haven't ventured further, where do I go? Btw HoL>TD
Anyone see any similarities between her and The Knife? That spooky synth was in "when i grow up"

have you ever heard her demos?? They're insane. "Breathing In Your Sleep", "Every Leaf" "Beat on Ice"
Except neither of those cunts wrote Cloudbusting.
Let's try again.
Before you think I'm being hyperbolic over a single song, consider Cloudbusting's subject matter and intention. Few songwriters have the bravery to say that shit.
