Whats the best tori amos album?

[-macphisto-]

I dont know anything about her but Im going to buy one of her cd's which one should I buy first? And who can recommend me 2 other great albums to buy from another artist?

 

[joyfulgirl]

The general consensus around here is that with Tori it's good to start at the beginning: Little Earthquakes. Pick it up first thing tomorrow. We'll be waiting.

LITTLE EARTHQUAKES

Bar none, hands down, 'nuff said

Just buy it already.

 

[myusernamehere]

Little Earthquakes, Under the Pink, Scarlets Walk, From the Choirgirl Hotel, Boys for Pele. Anyone of those would be suitable.

 

[Saracene]

I found Little Earthquakes a great album to start with, athough From the Choirgirl Hotel is my favourite.

 

[Kieran McConville]

From the Choirgirl Hotel.

i completely agree.

 

[HelloAngel]

Under the Pink is awesome too. It was a perfect second album for her. (Yes, not counting Y Kant Tori Read for the purists. )

 

[Numb1075]

little eathquakes is the best overall

however, the best song is Professional Widow - song is insane

I wonder if she'll ever do another Choirgirl-type record. iieee and Liquid Diamonds.

I LOVE that frickin song. Fascinating and addictive. I listen to it at the gym on the elliptical machine.

So true.


Funnily enough, Crucify came up on the iPod while I read this thread.

I'm just starting to get into Tori and bought her greatest hits - Tales of a Librarian. I'll have to check this song out.

I did buy her Spark single which had some great songs to accompany the main title. Also, I bought the second installment of the Best of Red Rocks CD, which has a live version of A Sort of Fairytale. That's really when I started paying more attention to her.

Tales has a remix of the original Professional Widow and it's a completely different song. I mean, basically it sucks. You need to hear the original from Boys for Pele.

 

[Numb1075]

yeah, Prof Widow = masterpiece

musically
vocal delivery
lyrics

she's off her rocker. I love her.

 

[coemgen]

Little Earthquakes and Under the Pink are old-school Tori pretty much just her and a piano. Then you have Boys for Pele where she brings in the Harpsichord. Then From the Chiorgirl Hotel has more instruments and more electronica elements to it. It's my favorite, but her others are very good as well. "A Tori Amos Collection — Tales of a Librarian" is her best of, which might be a good place to start.

liquid diamonds is probably my most favourite tori song.

 

[u2popmofo]

Little Earthquakes is definitely my favorite.

Tales is a good place to start too, if you would prefer a compilation to an album.

 

[-macphisto-]

Hey, I got the CD yesterday, I listened to it, and I loved it, Tori's lyrics are awesome! She reminds me alot of Kate Bush, Im going to have to buy all her cd's!

Little Earthquakes??

What are your favorite songs so far? I remember that album blew me away when I first heard it.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Glad you liked it! That's awesome!

I own all of her albums, plus a handful of singles. You won't regret buying them all.

Ya, Little Earthquakes!
Umm I dont remember any of the titles, and I dont feel like checking right now, but I was really amazed at the first song, (crucify, saviour) It was sweet, I liked every single song, mostly for her creativness and her lyrics!

 

[Zoots]

Little Earthquakes is a masterpiece! It's my favorite album by a female artist ever! Crucify, Girl, Silent All These Years, Winter, China and Leather are all gorgeous. Not to mention Precious Things is genius.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Glad you like it! One of my all-time favorites.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Tori's lyrics are awesome!

I don't believe you're leaving cos me and Charles Manson like the same ice cream.

 

[lmjhitman]

definitely one of my favourites!

Not to mention the album cover!
