Peak of your KATE-o-mania - when and why?
Some of us discovered Kate back when Wuthering Heights was just released while others of us discovered her in the years betweeen the Red Shoes and Aerial. (It would be lovely to think some even have...

I liked Kate when Wuthering Heights came out, but it took a slow procession of singles: Breathing, Running Up That Hill, to make me finally buy a record in '88.From '88-'90 I was Kate crazy!The Red...

I see my Kate history in three high periods:1. Now. I am still so excited by this new album. I love to hold it and just look at it. I still get shivers up my spine listening to the gorgeous music....

My previous peak was about 1990. I had first heard her and become a fan around HOL time, when I heard Running Up That Hill on the radio. I had the album and thought it was way cool. But wehn SW came...

My peak period of evangelizing the good word of Kate and collecting was from 1986 until about 1990. It was a period in my life where I was directionless, bored, lonely and working a series of dead-end...

No question about this - the release of the amazing "Dreaming" in 82. Until then I found Kate's music wonderful and loved dancing to it, but none of it before that really thumped me on the back and...

My zenith is still the eighteen months in which I 'descovered' Kate during the Red Shoes era. I had some of her singles from Hounds of Love and Wuthering Heights but I was still in my phase of liking...

Braveheart - I have to say that I have been trying to pace myself with Aerial too so just so that there remains some freshness to enjoy down the road. I have avoided doing the "repeat" on a particular...

Definitely the HOL era for me, when I was able to really get out on my own, had some money and was able to explore record stores and find HG, the albums I'd missed in the interim after TKI (Lionheart...

Oh God this is a tough one to admit. Umm I've been aware of Kate since WH in 1978 (when to be honest it was impossible not to have heard of it) but I wasn't a fan, then. She was just a little too......

Well, it started with Wuthering Heights at a modest 15 out of 10....and has continued steadily over the years to an equally modest 15 out of 10! With no peaks or troughs! Proud member of the "Kate...

A couple of summers ago, I'd just bought The Dreaming and Hounds of Love in quick succession, the first three albums were still fairly new to me and I was on holiday from uni for about 3 months...I'd...

It all started with The Kick Inside and I've always thought of my fan/artist relationship with Kate as a solid commitment. There have been difficult times when I haven't liked what she's done; I had a...

I'm a sad case who has had Kate at the top of my list and with at least one of her LP's in regular rotation since I "discovered" her circa The Red Shoes. I look forward to the day when another artist...

I bought Hounds of Love after hearing and buying Running Up That Hill, and seeing the video for Cloudbusting in early 1986 (I was 12 at the time). I instantly loved both HOL and TNW.But my peak of...

Byoungfw:I really enjoyed your post and I had to chuckle because I also managed to work Kate's music into school projects. I think for a time every essay or composition I wrote either started with or...

Even though my introduction to Kate was back in the beginning things became more intense after my Kate hiatus which ended in 2000. So I'm not sure if it has peaked yet or not!! Proud member of the...

I had one particularly wonderful summer in my childhood, and I can date it to 85 because RUTH was playing everywhere. I didn't buy HOL, but the track haunted me.Four years later I heard Kate's...
