That's 'cause you know KaTe's voice too well.  I don't know how many times
I've been listening to something by Happy and had a friend walk in and ask
what Kate Bush album I was listening to, but it's happened almost as many
times as people walking in and asking what Gabriel album I was listening
to when I was playing a Marillion (or Fish) CD.  I would never listen to
a song and wonder if I was hearing KaTe or Happy, though I've certainly
caught the similarities, especially when I first started listening to
Happy.  Same thing with Fish though I've never thought he sounded much like 
Gabriel.  That doesn't mean the similarities aren't there, though.  I've
even had people (two, as I recall), when told that they're listening to
Marillion and not Genesis/Gabriel, ask, "Oh.  Was Gabriel in the band?"

Okay, so I might be hard-pressed to come up with other examples...;-)
