> Is Tori Amos that good?
Well, of course music tastes are very subjective matter, but I can assure you, Tori Amos is A RRRIOT GIRRRRRL! Very deep, metaphorical and sublime artist, but she is an acquired taste, let her music to grow on you, sorry for a banality...
Also, she is a new age goddess... in a sense, she is charged with human kindness and boundless living and sexual energy... there is something supernatural about her, and I'm not being goofy... her music could play dangerous games with your mind, almost like a drug... Listen to her, yet be careful... her music will be inprinted in your subconscious-ness... or maybe you are Tori-proof male? Try it, in any case... Start with any album except widely experimental electronic "To Venus And Back"... Little Earthquakes is the best album to start Tori...
> Dude, I f***ing hate the doors.
As of Doors, Jim Morrison was a first man I fell in love with (in age of nine..), so maybe I'm unable to be very objective... Think it that way, Iggy Pop started Stooges after he saw Doors in concert, peoples like Kurt Cobain and Vedder and Corgan and Reznor, pretty much the whole alternative US rock movement, they all could be derived from two groups, pretty much, VU and Doors... (Of course, you, dude, may say something like "but I hate all those peoples too" but again, tastes are all very subjective and personal, like sex, in a sense...) Jee, I'm under Doors spell since nursery school age till present... Say Stipe is sexy mo-fo, but his sex appeal is only a pale shade of Morrison's, and I mean combination of musical and lyrical abilities plus something seductive Sinatra-ish, lizard-king-ish in Jim voice... Doors is not a frat rock, it is tragic, dreamy and enchanting... again IMHO... Also, I wish I would hang out with Manzarek (keyboard), Krieger(guitar) and Densmore(drums) too... all the other 3 dudes are very sympathetico... both in a sense as humans and musicians... thankfully, all 3 are alive... I was lucky to see Krieger and Densmore live at Santa Monica pier at August 2000... at a free concert...
