i: all my CD's are packed away fro my move but theres NO way I didn't add it, i just put all her CDs on, never leave tracks off. how ODD
still in my top 5 after all these years.
Oh this I love too. Very quirky. Fab!
thats VERY annoying, wheres it GONE then
8. caught a lite sneeze - Boys for pele
Rent your wife and kids today, maybe she will, maybe she will
I LOVE her voice on this, again almost breathing her way through the song rather than singing it in parts. I KNEW it wouldn't sell, though it turned out to be amongst the most commercial offerings BFP had.
7. Jackies Strength - from the choirgirl hotel
You're only popular with anorexia
LUSH, not a lot more to be said, after the sparsity of BFP, much as I loved it, it was good to hear Tori back to doing something a bit more fulsome. this is just BEAUTIFUL from start to finish, not a lot more to be said really
thats VERY annoying, wheres it GONE then
I'll YSI if you like. :moopy:
why?
16. Crucify - Tori Amos
I got a cat named easter and he says will you ever learn?
very commercial and I don't imagine we'll hear anything of this ilk from her again. low,
I didn't think, I just posted
6. Northern lad - From the Choirgirl hotel
I guess you go too far when Pianos try to be guitars
This can really GET me on an emotional level if I'm feeling a little bit down, I feel like I'm running out of things to say in the commentaries at this stage because it all goes alongs the lines of it being a beautiful song and whatnot, but this really IS a song that will always register highly in this list, and at times would probably be number one.
cheers
I was going to root through my boxes but that;d be easier
I just think, and i could be VERY wrong, that she had less artistic freedom at the start, and the production was different to anything we'll here when she produces herself. She seems to have moved away from more commerical outings which is fine as she stuill delivers the goods, I'd just like to hear what else she could come up with
Top 5 still to come, probably do tomorrow now, songs from Little earthquakes, under the pink and Boys for pele make up the remainder
SACRILIGE!I dont own TVABbut its on TOAL I think. I cant remember it!
l'm like a dog to get you
any tori read is great
something INTERESTING choices and omissions, but each to his own, i guess
i am also one of the few fans of china (celine my arse)
looking forward for the last few
i love the sheer randomness of the pics illustrating the songs
l'm like a dog to get you
Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet because of... cause of... whooo.... caaaauuse off the raiaiaiaiaiaiaiiaiaighghghghghnnn
No Venus loving - I adore every second on that album. I do love her electro stuff. Still great quality throughtout and 'Damage' in particular is amazing.
Can't wait to see your top 5.
I wanna get up on to the roof
oh I've just got in, do it tomorrow now
same here, i love when she experiments beyond the piano musically
l'm like a dog to get you
5. Winter - Little Earthquakes
I run off where the drifts get deeper, sleeping Beauty, trips me with a frown
EPIC, again pretty straightforward for Tori but an immediate favourite from LE and its never really dropped in my affections since. Another that just builds and builds to a soaring climax in a manner that Tori has honed to a TEE.
Again her voice excels on this, wringiong emotion from every nuance though never sounding affected like so many would.
4. talula - Boys for pele
I got my rape hat on honey but I always could accessorise
and another that hit me immediately on first listen. Ameraal mentioned earlier that he loved it when she moved away from Piano and generally I do too, it adds another layer to her music which only ever accentuates, the TVAB unappreciation isn;t a dislike as such, its just never clicked with me, thats not to say it never will, some of her songs have lain unnappreciated for a while before they finally make sense to me and I see them for the classic that they are.
But anyway yes, this would NEVER have worked with just a piano, as it is its amazing
3. Space dog -Under the Pink
Deck the halls, I'm young again, I'm you again, racing turtles the grapefruit is winning, seems I keep getting this story, twisted, so wheres Neil when you need him, deck the halls its you again, its you again, somewhere someone must know the ending, is she still, pissing in the river now? heard she'd gone, moved into the trailer park.
I suspect a lot will view this as an odd choice to go so high but it was seriously considered for the number one position. Lyrically amongst my favourites and musically just SO different. I have a certain fondness for Toris overlaying of vocals, which may be a clue as to what's coming next.
2. Father Lucifer - Boys for pele
Its ALL about the second half of this, The overlapping vocals hwere you can't quite tell what shes singing and yet know EXACTLY what shes saying, I know the section itself isn't long but those 20 seconds are quite POSSIBLY my favourite moment of msuic ANYWHERE, gets me everytime.
The voice again, frailer, almost breathing the lyrics at times adds for me, to the intensity of what is generally speaking a simple song.
1. these precious things - Little earthquakes
They said you're really an ugly girl, but i like the way you, play
I wanna smash the faces of those beautiful boys, those Christian boys, so you can make me cum, it doesn't make you Je-ee-sus
As close to perfect as you can get. powerful, emotionally wrought, lyrically amongst the most powerful shes ever done. Not a lot more I can say about it...
and erm, thats it, a list possibly not to everyones tastes but i think Tri appeals to so many people in so many different ways there'll always be a disparity between the likings of one person and the net.
It's called "Precious Things" actually Strebor
FEARLESS FEMALE
oh its a mistake I can live with but thanks
Your top 5 was rather pleasing actually - far less obvious than I initially expected.
"Winter" is as a natural favourite and would feature consistently in my top 2 Tori tracks. "Precious Things" is also difficult to fault.
"Father Lucifer" and "Space Dog" are the major shocks though, especially the latter. Maybe I need to revisit it to see why it rates so highly for you.
Space Dog is the BOLLOCKS
Possibly my favourite Tori song
FEARLESS FEMALE
Space Dog is fantastic - complete contrast between the piano and the kick ass part. The kooky lyrics about grapefruits, pissing and Colonel Dirtyfishydishcloth and those great BVs...
Weird but oh so appealing!
I wanna get up on to the roof
Don't get me wrong, I do like it - it's just not a top 3 Tori song for me.
Its another one of those where can'rt eally EXPLAIN the appeal, Father Lucifer I have a similar problem with. I just LOVE them both.
A pleasant surprise to see Precious Things as your number one. Its consistently been my favourite Tori song ever since I first got into her.
Quite a wonderful top 10 there ! "Space Dog" is one of the few reasons I would give Under The Pink a spin. The only song I can't help but disagree with is "Talua". Remixed or not, it always felt like nothing but a cheering-up track for Pele and for me, the lowlight of the album.
Fantastic! You share my number one. Just utterly amazing in every way, that song.
If ONLY she'd done it in Manchester.
The last three tracks on Under the Pink are glorious. Cloud on my Tongue, Space Dog and Yes, Anastasia. Possibly the best ending to an album EVER. Shame the start is so PATCHY
FEARLESS FEMALE
I love the start. "Bells For Her" would be in my Tori top 5 any given day.
Bells for Her is LOVELY but Pretty Good Year is a tad DULL and God has NO TUNE

Ooh some good 'uns in the top 10 there. Spark and A Sorta fairytale are worryingly low.
a sorta fairytlae i LOVED then got bored of a little, but its grown on me IMMENSELY again, and #28 means i LOVE it, Spark similarly, the bar ios VERY high for this as I think MOST of what she does is FANTASTIC
I'm suspecting this has changed MUCHLY since last time I'll do an update soon methinks while I'm in a Tori mood
DO IT
I have the list ready to go I may do it to intersperse my exciting evening of coursework marking
