Kate Bush's most well-known and widely acclaimed album. Released in September 1985, this opus of progressive pop music has influenced thousands, and is known as one of the greatest albums not only of the 80s, but of all time. Singles from side A such as "Running Up That Hill" and "Cloudbusting" are art pop songs with stadium-sized hooks, impressive vocal runs and heart-melting lyrics. Side B is a progressive rock suite that tells the story of a woman lost at sea at night reflecting upon her life and her family. It is an existential beast of a record, full of introspection and emotion usually too difficult to put into words. Bush executes it brilliantly and with utmost grace, and in the process becomes a rock legend.
