I'm sorry, but I believe this is simply not the case. Nor should it be
taken for granted that all Kate fans love her for "Don't Give Up" on
that Peter Gabriel song. There is in fact at least one fan who regards
it as marking the beginning of the end of her art. Yes, it is possible
to love NF-TD-HoL and think that thereafter her music has more than just
a few negligible flaws. 

My top five non-classical musicians besides Kate, in no order:

Siouxie and the Banshees
Indigo Girls
Tori
Michael Oldfield
Pink Floyd
