I always say to each his own when it comes to music, art, food, drink, fashion, etc.; however, I've never quite understood Kate Bush's critical acclaim. I consider her overrated to the point where I think she's one huge British inside joke. I also can't imagine ever buying any of her music. Her voice is irritating and her songs are unremarkable. Here is a link to someone ranking her 31 singles:

MM,
I hope you enjoy yourself and find the experience to be everything you hope it to be. I have no doubt that there's music I cherish that you would find unpleasant.
Thank you, I also agree it would be a dreadful world if we all liked the same music, although I will listen to pretty much anything (I have over 29,000 tracks on my icloud). Kate Bush is one of my favourites but I can just as easily slip on a Tom Waits album, Hildegard Von Bingen, Type O Negative, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ofra Haza, ELO, Mike Oldfield, Youssou N'Dour, Hendrix, Eek a Mouse, Rolling Stones, Elbow, Laurie Anderson, Beck...
There's so much wonderful stuff out there, why have one flavour when you can have the whole ice cream cart.
MM

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
