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.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
