Why no Tori Amos


One last bit of pondering. Why was Tori Amos' "Little Earthquakes" album never given the star treatment it deserves? The album has great arrangements with full orchestration and is one of the best female singer/songwriter/pianist albums of the past few decades. I know she copied a lot of Kate Bush's style (as did Fiona Apple) but it IS a breakthrough album and atleast Kate was issued on Japanese.

Funny... I just listened to the Orbiting CD and finally filed Scarlett's Walk which I got for Christmas. My wife and I were recently saying how Tori's gotten better and better over the years (exception perhaps Strange Little Girls).

There are gems I encounter during each listening such as Your Cloud.

I was into Tori before I became familiar with Kate Bush and perhaps as a result I much prefer Tori.

She also puts on terrific concerts. From what I understand Kate Bush hasn't ever really toured (too bad).

I appreciate Tori more now that she's become more of a cult artist.
