I have no problem with your request for postings from like-minded people. 
It's just that so many people have mentioned singers and said they "have a
similar sound to Kate," and they all sound boring to me.

Sorry to get you all r'iled up; it's true that you didn't emit the refrain;
you only reminded me of it by saying that Sarah is "a Kate Bush
sound-a-like."

Now you're the one who's replying without reading the post.  My posting
said 
  "I have to think (a)... (b)... "
because the way you compared Sarah with KaTe made me think you were saying
they were the same.   (Ma always did say I was too literal minded.)  

I don't like being called "Sonny," but maybe I deserve it for taking your
statement farther than you (apparently) intended.  I don't think KaTe fans
should flame at each other.  Can we call a truce?
