>10) She doesn't wear leather and chains.

   Oh, but she has. See Kate in a leather jacket in the first Vermoral
book, and for chains see Babooshka.

> 9) The KT Bush Band is not known for its speed metal capabilities.

   She is however very popular in some metal circles. "Kerrangg!"
consistently gives her better reviews than almost any other magazine.
She has metal players on her albums, Jimmy Bain for instance.

> 8) She doesn't rap.

   Doesn't the voice of the Inquisitor in _Waking The Witch_ count.

> 7) Hasn't done any videos in a mini-skirt and tank top (well, Babooshka was
>    nice...).

   The Prince's Trust version of _The Wedding List_?

> 6) None of her songs contain the words "ooh, baby baby" or "yeah yeah yeah".

    A couple of years ago I listed all the "babys" in Kate songs. Quite
a few actually, though not as many a Paula Abdul, granted.

> 5) Turned down deal to do joint MTV Unplugged session with Naughty By Nature.

    Did not. Fibber.

> 4) Refused to change her name to "M.C. Bush".

    It was only because Jon Drukman asked.

> 3) Club MTV dancers can't dance to "Ran Tan Waltz".

    They haven't *tried*.

> 2) MTV deemed "The Sensual World" too suggestive for airplay.

    No |>oug did.

> 1) Talented people are generally not allowed on MTV.

    Generally no. Well, Peter Gabriel. Really talented people are often
consigned to be "...this sucks..." videos on Bevis & Butthead.
