Ah yes, Kate Bush the “Rock n Roll” icon.

Please go watch her concert Live at Hammersmith Odeon and then come back here and try to explain how this woman does not rock.

I never said she wasn’t a good artist with a bunch of talent. She’s just not a Rock N Roll artist. They just need to change the name to the Music Hall of Fame and be done with the pretense.

She most certainly began as a rock and roll artist (watch the concert video, really) and only then slowly transformed her style into something uniquely her own as many talented rockers do.

So, the way I think about it is that being inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame means that your body of work has had a major impact on the world of Rock N Roll. Subsequently, you don’t necessarily need to be a rock n’ roll artist to belong in that hall of fame. This is why artists like James Brown and Aretha Franklin were some of the earliest inductees. So if Kate Bush has influenced enough rock and roll artists, you could easily justify putting her in there.
