Hey, it's nice to see that there is now a Tori Amos thread.

I like her so much though she is not worldwide known she is kept close to the heart of her fans.

I did like The Beekeper musically but it's true that it had so much weak songs, when I use to listen to it generally the music shadows Tori's voice and all I can her is good music and mumbling. Anyway I LOVE The Power Of Orange Knickers, Parasol and Sweet The Sting from that album.

But going back to her oldest I like Little Earthquakes loving 8 of its 12 tracks. My favourite from that album are Crucify, Winter, Leather, Me & A Gun and Precious Things.

About Under the pink I cannot say muhc for I haven't still listened to it fully but I like her singles (Pretty Good Year, God, Past The Mission and Conrflake Girl from which I also liked their two videos). There are songs from this album that were punt ikn the tracklist of Tales Of A Librarian that I think shouldn't have been there but it's ok.

About Boys for Pele well, this album for sure showed a much mature Tori witha better sound, when you firts listen to the album you fall in love with Father Lucifer (I love the way she play with words!) and What to say about Professional Widow... I love it too. Mr. Zebra is such a funny song. Caught a lite sneeze is a very nice song and has a nice video (weird).
But the track I love the most from this album must be Hey Jupiter and I soooo love the video showing a self-destructive Tori... and Talula as well with a weird video (is there any of her videos that is not weird?).

Oh ok, next album is my favourite. From the Choirgirl Hotel is such a strong album with songs like Spark in which she refers to her abortion in such a sober way... I love Cruel! and what to say about Raspberry Swirl, a very upbeat song with one of the weirdest videos. I also like Jackies's Strenght abd the concept of the video. i i e e e is also on e of my favourite songs hehehehe (with your E's and your ease). Other tracks I liked are Palyboy Mommy and She's Your Cocaine.

Next album, To Venus & Back. I also like this album. Songs like Bliss, Concertina and Glory of the 80's make my day. Lust is a nice track. I also like the beat of Riot Proof and Datura and hat to say about my favourite song on this album 1000 Oceans which I find a bit nostalgic. And has a nice video.

I can't say much either about Scarlet's Walk since I don't really like it that much but I like ther very first three tracks: Amber Waves, A Sorta Fairytale (with another weird video) and Wednesday. any other songs that I like from this album would be TaxiRide (becaus of the story) and Another Girl's Paradise.

Another album that I can't give such a deep opinion about is Strange Little Girls... when I first heard that she was covering Eminem I thought "what?" but then I heard the track and said "what?". What I liked about this album was the multiple covers (I bought the one with four photos). Strange Little Girl is a nice song and the video takes too literal the phrase of "keeping the wolf out of the house" hehehehehe. I enjoyed Depeche Mode's cover fro Enjoy the Silence, fits very well to the piano. A funny thing that I remember is that when Enrique Iglesias rleased the song and the video for I'm Not In Love I thought at first it was tori's song and even the two songs have similar phrases hehehehe but it's nothing. I also liked the other cover, this one for Slayer's Raining Blood and the last track that I like as well is Real Men.

And now at last but not least The Beekeper of which I have already spoken... why did she only release Sleeps With Butterflies? anyway, it's a nice track.
I bought the special CD+DVD version which included a new song called garlands (which I liked) and it also came with an envelope qith seeds to make your own little personar garden and become a Beekeper yourself.

Now about A Piano: The Collection there are few things I don't have. I already downloaded and have many of the rarities that also come on singles. I think I'll buy it just to complete my collection hehehehe. Better start saving up some money!

I found a few singles that I wanted to buy, I already have the Crucify single but I'm hungry for some more Tori. I'm still searching for some videos, maybe i'll post my list later.

She has had great moments in her career, I love Tori Amos (almost as much as I like Ayu or Evanescence.) and I hope she keeps releasing nice albums such as the ones already described.

The tracks I mentioned are the ones I would recomend to anyone who wants to know such a great personality in mature pop music.
