and why?











my top 4 are:

Boys For Pele
Little Earthquakes
Under The Pink
Scarlett's Walk


"Caught A Light Sneeze" is probably still my favourite song by her.


and yours?

Pele for me. I'll get into it more later...

"From The Choirgirl Hotel" because I think each song is strong and it works very well as a collective work. I love "Under The Pink", but the songs don't really 'gel' like they do on "Choirgirl". Plus, I absolutely adore "Playboy Mommy" and "She's Your Cocaine".

I feel compelled to give "Strange Little Girls" a nod too, particularly her take on "97 Bonnie & Clyde".

"Boys for Pele" is without a doubt her best album to date, it's got the
widest range of songs and covers so much ground it takes your breath if
you sit down to listen to it.



However, "Choirgirl Hotel" is my fav Tori album for many reasons, such
as what I went through when it was released, the atmosphere n artwork,
her own point of view in making this album. The video's, the stellllar
b-sides from the album.

So Pele best, Choirgirl personal fav.

I can certainly appreciate all of that.

Top four:

Little Earthquakes
To Venus And Back
Under The Pink
Boys For Pele

I like 'Little Earthquakes' the most because it's Tori reduced to her essence more so than any other record. There's a purity and innocence on that album that made my jaw drop when I first heard it and it moved me so much at the time that I began to search inside myself for those same qualities for a brief period.

The two albums I like the least are 'from the choirgirl hotel' and 'Strange Little Girls'.

Sorry.

But I am liking 'Scarlet's Walk' and 'The Beekeeper' more now that I've given them a few more listens.

s'ok. I didn't like it or Scarlet to start out. Love 'em both now.

I have a special connection all of Tori's albums...they represent sometimes the mood and state of spirit I am at the moment..

The one that marked me more had 2 B this 1:




Hey Jupiter is maybe her masterpiece and the song that defines my lonelyness and sexual dilema I am at the moment!

MikeMatronik said:

I feel ya! Definitely one of her most important songs. Putting the Damage On is what does it to me.

TRON said:

That's the magic of Tori and her work...

Her tunes really connect with u and ur soul! few artists have that power! Thus the long following!

I only found this kind of intimacy with Kate Bush and Bowie (some his darkest tunes have this power!)

I like this 1...Beats the hell out of her recent glade plug-in commercial soundtracks.

YES! I think he needs some building materials too.

MikeMatronik said:

YIKES! I 4got, never rile the Toriphiles! I love me some Tori, but even U all have 2 admit, her work is not what it once was. I still think she's a genius

The Beekeeper was her american life...

Just playin' with ya. You can hate whatever you want.

TRON said:

But not Y TORI KANT READ!

She's a DIVA!

MikeMatronik said:

The album was half decent.

TRON said:

MikeMatronik said:

I had a huge response to her first four solo albums...

I cannot single one out.
