Isn't Tori Amos' real name 'Kate Bush'? :?

:lol: Sorry, couldn't resist! I like Tori too. Her version of Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' gave me dual respect. ;)

so basically your saying you can't tell the difference between influence and rip-off
Basically I'm saying that you are missing the lighthearted sarcasm in my post. :P

While I'm writing... all this discussion has made me go back and listen to a bunch of my Kate Bush collection, and... am I missing something important, or is "The Red Shoes" her worst album ever? :? I sort of liked her interpretation of the story of The Red Shoes, sort of like her take on Wuthering Heights, but in general I was very disappointed by that CD.

I've listened to quite a few now - the joy of P2P is that you can find rare stuff and remixes unavailable in the shops - found a load of live covers - mainly of Joni Mitchell, that I felt didn't really add anything to the originals apart from one Stevie Nicks song (Landslide). I'm coming round to liking some of them though. The ones I like best so far are:

Winter - (OK I know I didn't like it at first but I gave it another chance and it grew on me)

Crucify - sounds a lot like Kate Bush in places but I still like it

Drive (with Indigo Girls and some others) - sexy as f@#k - she is able to express her sensuality through her music in a way that reminds me of Kate Bush (again) but also Janis Joplin, Annette Peacock and Patti Smith - thats a big plus in my book.

Black Dove (also found a version with Sarah MacClachlan) - lovely and moving song, one of my favourites so far - great piano playing (almost sounds microtonal)

Silent all these years (with Leonard Cohen) - pretty good

Professional Widow (Armand van helden remix) - really like this

Bachelorette (not a Bjork cover) - probably the most distinctive I've heard so far - I like it it reminds me of old German theatre songs or Tom Waits - many of her other songs, even those I like sound a bit similar

Siren - I like this but it reminds me a lot of Kate Bush again

I have a load more to get through, I can see myself keeping some of these.

and she IS gorgeous.

I didn't like it either. You have to judge each album on its own merits - there are many artists I like but its not blind adulation and there are tracks and whole albums I dislike by most of them. Sometimes artists seem to go into a decline or dry period for a while. I'm not keen on many songs Joni Mitchell did after Mingus but Mingus and what came before was mostly brilliant. Same goes for Joan Armatrading after "Me myself I".

I know what you mean about all the people you named.
it's kinda scary actually :-o

I tend to believe that most artists hit a peak
(except for madonna who's just been flat-lining with an entourage and DJ crutches since the beginning)
and then roll down the other side of that hill with the occasional spurt of genius.
