She took a 12 year hiatus when she had her son. I just skimmed her wiki page, and I can't think of many more important artists. She was writing songs when she was 11.

Quote:
All 10 of her studio albums reached the UK Top 10.
She was the first British solo female artist to top the UK album charts and the first female artist to enter the album chart at number one.
Bush's eclectic and experimental musical style, unconventional lyrics, and literary themes have influenced a diverse range of artists. She has been nominated for 13 British Phonographic Industry accolades, winning for Best British Female Artist in 1987, and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards. In 2002, Bush was recognised with an Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Bush was appointed a CBE in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to music.
In addition to her music, her dancing has been critically acclaimed and proven influential, as well as enduring in the popular consciousness. Critics have noted her "pioneering synthesis of music and movement" and called her work "modern dance at its most powerful".
