Great picks!! It's tough to find even a single song I wouldn't keep from the first 4 albums. I would add a separate corner just for b-sides and unreleased. Can't live without any of these: Sister Janet Alamo Cooling Cool On Your Island Never Seen Blue Honey Purple People Upside Down Beulah Land Etienne Bachelorette Here In My Head Song For Eric Merman Abbey Road Siren Cool On Your Island and Etienne are pretty unlistenable on YKTR but sublime live And some essential covers (this is perhaps a whole other 10-disc collection): A Case of You Daniel Angie Thank You I’m On Fire 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alittleparty 2,282 Posted March 8, 2022 you guys are wild with the YKTR. maybe i need to revisit? I think i tried a few times but couldn't. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think i tried a few times but couldn't. listening to it as a tori amos album will obviously leave you disappointed but if you look at it through the lens of a typical 80's pop album it's quite strong edit: also she worked with narada michael walden during the sessions for yktr so that's also explains a lot (none of his stuff made the album though) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rightofjupiter 16,709 Posted March 26, 2022 what to y'all think of setlists so far on this tour? less variation than usual for sure but i LOVE the older songs she's been including (seems like caught a lite sneeze is permanent) and that she's opening with juarez. would love to hear any of these older songs (all on recent setlists): liquid diamonds, mother revolution, butterfly, little amsterdam, give, twinkle, horses, take to the sky, baker baker. the wrong band is my dream song to hear live but i don't think it shows up on her sets much...a girl can dream tho and with tori there's always hope! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When she comes in with the little sister piano part it’s full on ascension. My faves: bliss, Juarez, suede, Josephine (such a cute little piano song), spring haze, 1000 oceans (cheesy but effective) also shoutout to the live version of concertina that’s stunningly gorgeous: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niandra lades 2,454 Posted September 21, 2022 My cat is named Tori because of her I still think Caught a Lite Sneeze is one of the best songs in History!
