The person who posted this is definitely going to see some
less-than-entusiastic responses from the Love-Hounds... Be kind,
please.

>does she really deserve to have a whole newsgroup dedicated to her?

Any subject that generates enough discussion _does_ deserve to have an
entire newsgroup.  No lack of that here.  In fairness, "Kate Bush,
etc." includes short, tangential discussions of Peter Gabriel, anyone
else who's worked with/influenced/been influenced by KT, those who
sound like Kate Bush (e.g. Danielle Dax), and (in even shorter, more
tangential discussions) other topics in progressive music.

You're not alone in this _as_such_.  I wish there were a decent place
to discuss these groups --- but don't expect anyone here to want to
give Rec.music.gaffa over to it.
