certainly a top 10 album of all time for me.

Incredibly good.







ETA: For hardcore Tool fans, here is a youtube video of Tori and Maynard performing "Muhammad My Friend"

My wife listened to her album for the choir girl hotel after a miscarriage and I think it literally saved her life.

I like her as an artist. She plays piano like a mother f-clear.

Being a tool fan is saving your musical credibility by a thread right now

Hold on a sec, you all truly think I'm trolling with a Tori Amos thread? Why?

I can be a Tool fan and a Tori Amos fan at the same time. I mean, I play fricking piano and appreciate her style and sound.

Plus, you are fricking retarded for not knowing that she and Maynard from Tool performed together. Dipshits.

Oh, you mean like every other musician does. Tori has FAR more original material than most other professional musicians.

She certainly does a lot of covers...but it still stands that she has an incredible catalogue of original music.

That may be. But 32 of those I listed are cover songs that shes put on an album of her own

Just saying ive always seen her as something of a gimick for that

Im sure she has a few decent songs of her own

Pretty much every album from the 1990s and early 2000s is original material, but yes she put out an album full of covers. Consequently I'm not a fan of her covers.

Boys for Pele, the album that this thread is about, is as original as they come and an incredible album on top of that.

But let's get back on topic...admit that you wish you were the little piglet.
