Ego?

Being a Leo:- And a widely un-acclaimed musical trail-blazer...

No,  lets hear it from the horses mouth:

  "Well, I do think that my work has some artistic value and that my opinions on production and composition are pretty good, but I don't push it. Whenever I feel myself getting too big for my boots I just listen to a Kate Bush album and that soon brings me back to reality. My own talents are merely a couple of grains against the beach of creative genius that is Kate Bush. I come to much the same conclusion if I put on a Godley and Creme album."
