Anybody like Tori Amos? I think she's a fantastic musician and singer,
and she certainly isn't afraid to say whatever the hell she wants to
say. Along the same lines as Kate Bush. What do you think?

She is one of my favourite artists (like Kate Bush). Both Little Earthquakes and Scarlets Walk are candidates for my all-time top ten albums.

Little Earthquakes is absolutely fantastic. I also really like the
follow-up album, Under The Pink. Interesting story about that too...
after she had it recorded, the record label said they didn't like it
and wanted some things changed. She said that it'd either go out the
way it was recorded or she'd burn the master. So, it went out the way
it was recorded, and it sold more than Little Earthquakes!

Well ,
I'm not alone !
In many ways finding this site showed me they are some other freeks like me who loves that music that most people could'nt listen to.
I love Tori. I think she's one of the great active musicians. It's not King crimson but ....who are ?
I have everything she made except Scarlet's walk (yet). I most admire "Boys for Pele" & "From the choirgirl hotel" but the others are great too.

I've got every Tori album except Y Kant Tori Read?  , but I must say that by the time of Scarlet Walk (which is great on its own) I did feel as I've heard it all before ... two of my favourite tunes are on Under The Pink, but I think Choirgirl Hotel may just squeak ahead as the Tori album I enjoy the most
