Bold part: Which doesn't keep our collabs from playing it at their new 7.1 1KW sound system in the collab zone.... Wink

Italics part: Seriously though - I share your view here, Peter.

LOL Ha! I like how on the forum home page, this thread's (lengthy) title appears as simply "Tori Amos deserves to be..." (as if we are meant to complete the sentence).
 
Ermm I bet Micky  would say "boned..." Wink
 
Of course, he may well be right:
 
 
Big smile Not too hard on the eyes, is she now Micky?  Wink

I believe she is happily boned at the moment. 

Worthy of inclusion here or not, any fellow fans out there enjoying her new album Abnormally Attracted To Sin?  She has yet to put out an album I didn't like.  Total fanboy here. LOL

I would start a new thread for this but this thread had gotten a little too AC/DC for my tastes. Tongue

I haven't got it yet, but I shall.
 
Have you got any of her official bootlegs Brian? I'm trying to find if there is one where she played an extract of Tubular Bells as a piano solo - there are some poor cell-phone video's of it on YouBoob but I'd like to hear a good sound-board recording of it.
What?

I say we force an identity crisis and admit Tori Amos, Dire Straits, and Toto.

Well, one of the best prog sites around, the german Babyblaue, lists all her albums in ArtPop (weirdly called "crossover"prog here), a subgenre that counts 10CC, Kate Bush, Roxy Music, David Bowie, Supertramp...
 
 
The rating is on a scale of 15, and of course 'little earthquakes' is deemed her best album to date, and a must-have for all above-mentioned bands.
 
 
Note that this site is both inclusive (Björk, Samshing Pumpkins (album 'mellon collie...'), Jane Siberry, Stina Nordenstam...) and exclusive (regarding Death, only albums as of 'Human' are reviewed, and only Metallica's 'master of puppets' and 'justice for all' are featured)
 
Prior to her solo career, Tori Amos released a decent ArtPop/AOR-oriented album with Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. This was called Y Kant Tori  Read.

I haven't gone for any of the official bootlegs, but I'd love to hear her doing some Tubular Bells.  By the way go for the deluxe version with the DVD.

I still haven't heard that one and didn't know that Vinnie was on that.  Way cool.  And you know Adrian Belew dropped in on Strange Little Girls.  I like the reinvention of Neil Young's Heart Of Gold the most.

Man I would so much like to see Tori in CrossoverBig smile. A unique artist that one ( well Kate Bush has to be mentioned everytime you talk about Tori, but you get the meaning).

I have a fan club release called Forgotten Earthquakes which is a bunch of unused songs and B-sides, highly recommended to fans

Maybe I'm late on the subject, but Amos is a bit more than a Bush copycat, but I don't think she's PA material..... KB is prog-related partly because of her friends
 
 
TA would be prog-related-related
 
No thanks....

Tori Amos is a controversial decision so nothing will get rushed as the original post date confirms. Yes within the confines of progressive....deserves to be here IMO
 
Bjork even more so barring her Debut release. Her artistic experimentaion a modern day exception.
Smashing Pumpkins - IMO a very progressive sounding band not rivalling modern day PT but all the conceptual splendour there to see, Zeitgeist moved away from this though.
 
As for Stina Nordenstam and Joe Jackson's session guru Jane Siberry ----not qualified to know enoughWink

At this point I could really care less who gets added and where they get put if they do.  I probably should have started a new thread.  Is anyone out there enjoying the new album? LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I like her music, but the other thing like about her, besides looking good, is the fact that she calls her own shots.

Lucas..............ART POP = PROG?
 
It sounds to me more like artistic Pop, something I can admit but again IMO no relation with Prog.
 
BTW: I don't speak German, beyond the basics (Despite my rusty Deutsch, her bio is not clear about her being Prog, only mentions she started as a Kate Bush clone and developed an own "angeproggten" style, which if I'm not wrong means AOR), so i stay with the English and Spanish sites, and she's (or at least was the last time I checked) in none,
 
BTW: The German site apparently considers AOR as Prog....We don't
 
This is not determinant of course, but a good reference.
 
BTW: If Kate Bush is in Prog Related, I don't see how a clone of her can be in a full Prog sub-genre.
