 Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about.  Well then don't say my girl sucks. You may not like her work but there's no way that she sucks.  | |

GooeyTheHamster said: GangstaFam said: Maybe when people stop comparing her to Tori.  The comparison is one of ease. Both woman used high voices. It is easier for people to push artists in a corner to tag them. To me, in both cases, I love them because they are untagable. This is what I liked in Prince in the 80's. Sure, I might not like everything these ladies do, but I still listen to them quite often. Just had a Kate Bush spell and now I am slightly moving off to Tori again. By the way, I have to agree with Sassy. I never think of one while listening to the other; only here on this board I always bump into the same prejudice. I do not say there is no influence, cuz I bet Kate Bush must have made a smashing impression on ANYONE who ever saw her. But Tori has carved out her own special place in musical history from Little Earthquakes ona nd proved she does not need any comparison...she is TORI. So, when does this Beekeeper come out and where is Fam's personalised Beekeeper tracklist? Yes, they both have similar voices, and its obvious that Kate is an inluence on Tori. Beyond that, they really are quite different. Kate is much more avant-garde, with a similar style to Peter Gabriel. Tori is much more surreal and esoteric, like Jim Morrison with a piano.

GangstaFam said: NWF said: You know what, and I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you, but I could care less about Tori Amos. I'm sure she's a great artist and whatever, but I think there's so many better great female songwriters out there.
I'm sorry, but that's just how I feel. 
Obviously not new wave enough for you.  No, it's not that, genius. It's just that she's just not my cup of tea. Not everybody I listen to is New Wave, you know? NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |
