That is such a good song! I had trouble picking one of Tori's for my top ten. All her "girls" are such precious gems.

I totally agree. Tori Amos is a brilliant song writer. I love her.

[MaryPeyton]

This is in no way in any order, and this is really hard to even cut down to ten!

*Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Bill Frisell- "Over the Rainbow"
*U2-"Please"
*Dave Mathews Band-"Back You Up"
*Chris Cornell-"Sunshower"
*Led Zepplin-"Ramble On"
*Van Halen-"Humans Being"
*Ani DiFranco-"32 Flavors"
*U2-"Gloria"
*Lynard Skynard-"Freebird"
*The Doors- "Blood in the Streets"

And this would probably be one of several lists, I mean Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Coltraine...they're in a catagory by themselves!
