i see these names a lot. can't name one song by any of them, (except the yellow taxi song and that's cause janet sampled it). think i can spot two of them in a lineup but i think i'm thinking kate bush is connected to the Go Gos somehow. are they the white, pop, female equivalents of van hunt, cody chestnut, king brit, etc. good writers, average but emotional singers, who create diverse mood music for...??? these ladies seem to have cultivated a core following but did any of them have a 'hit song' in the last two decades i might know. (i know joni is older, and i loved her on seal's If I Could...)

Please never compare kate bush with the Go-Go's (the dullest WASP female group ever!!) NEVER!

You clearly don't know Kate's body of work.

Kate is not average! The same goes with Joni and Tori.

But that Go-Go's comparision...it's like saying that Kate Bush is a piece of shit!

Tori's only been around for the past 2 decades.

Some of her songs that you might know are Silent All These Years, Crucify, God, Cornflake Girl, Caught A Lite Sneeze, Spark and A Sorta Fairytale. She still has a pretty huge following and releases an album about every other year.

Kate and Joni have been around a lot longer and have slowed down quite a bit. Kate's last album came out a little over a year ago and was fantastic. Joni retired a few years back, but recently announced that she's working on something new.

There's nothing average about these women at all - their writing, their singing, their musicianship, their look, their presentation - all of it stunning. The thing that connects them all is their fearlessness, their high, acrobatic voices and their attention to detail.

I can't say enough good things about these ladies.

And if you're having trouble visually picking them out, here they are...

These 3 make it cool for guys to like them.

Joni's musicianship on guitar is unparallel, the sound that woman an get out of an acoustic makes your mouth water & her arrangements are original & unpredictable.

Kate's music has a mystical side to it without sounding corny. Her last one Ariel over 12 years in the making was worth the wait.

Tori's just a house of fire on piano. Although not my favorite of the three she's worth checking out. The one thing they all have in common is that their true originals who stick to their vision not unlike the man this sites dedicated to.

what?

thanks for the helpful feedback everyone. my interest is piqued. mantronik, i'd conceded in the initial post that i was clueless to their body of work, so thanks for specific feedback, and not more "emotional responses". the pics helped too, and from what i've seen of her, kate bush and jane wiedland DO look alike. do they have greatest hits that do their body of work justice? is sarah mclaughlin on their level (or she theirs?). she seems to be "cut from the same cloth" so to speak, (not that i've heard her stuff either) not sure if she plays an instrument, but it seems like you HEAR more about her.

I'd say that all 3 of them are album artists and that proper greatest hits don't exist for any of them. They all have great box sets though.
