Kate Bush and the bonkers female stars she inspired
As Kate turns 54, see who followed in her footsteps
- M.I.A.: Yes, she performed with Madonna at the Superbowl this year, but we still love her. Why? Because the video for 2010''s ''Born Free'' is a nine minute epic allegory of the Sri Lankan army''s murder of Tamil Tiger males, and was banned from MTV and Youtube. That''s why.

Today is Kate Bush’s birthday, an artist of undoubted talent that has left a huge legacy in her wake. Her influence is undeniable, and her image can be seen in many women in pop music today.
Nn her honour we’ve decided to put together a list of the craziest women in music. Now, we don’t mean crazy as in mentally unstable, and we certainly aren’t discussing who has the craziest image (because anyone can wear clothes made of meat...). We’re talking about women who, like Kate Bush, care less about popularity, image and online followers and more about the music they’re making.
So, wish Kate Bush a happy birthday, then take a look at our favourite ‘crazy’ women in pop. We may have missed a few, so let us know if we have.
