Win Tori Amos Box Set
If you grew up in the '90s, you probably had Little Earthquakes. You were impressionable, you had "feelings," and along came Amos. Hers was a healthy dose of the naked angst of those grunge years, but with a new angle: Tori's intimate, personal poetry was set to music that fused her classical chops to proggy piano pop; the sound of Earthquakes and Under The Pink was fresh -- and Tori became the template for a legion of Lilith Fair wannabes.
Those were her groundbreaking, career-launching records, but she didn't stop there -- and to celebrate her busy career, Tori recently released A Piano: The Collection: an 86-song, five-disc box set full of songs from her studio releases; B-sides; the originals that debuted on her best-of Tales Of A Librarian; unreleased demos and alternate mixes; and Tori's written commentary on each song. The discs follow her career chronologically, with Disc One being a re-sequenced Little Earthquakes, with new mixes and B-sides, and on from there. Full info here. Best part: The box looks like a piano!
We have one of these packages to give away, and entering shouldn't be too difficult for you Amos fans. All you gotta do is post a comment telling us your favorite Tori tune, and we'll pick a winner at random on Monday 12/18 at 6PM EST. If you need some help remembering songs, the tracklist for the box set is after the jump. And if you don't wind up winning the box set and need it in a hurry, the entire collection is available digitally via Urge and iTunes on 12/19. You won't get the piano box, but you will get the tracks with a quickness. Good luck!

Ohmigod, I can't believe Raspberry Swirl isn't on this box (my favorite song)... though I'd still like to win it!

Actually, I'll go ahead and post it over at my blog if you want to hear it.

wow. I can't believe I'm one of only two people who responded to this who don't like Tori Amos. The only thing I can deal with by that woman is the neat, funky piano playing on "God". Other than that, she's only a couple steps up from Ani Difranco to me, which is PRETTY FUCKING SHABBY.

What? No Little Drummer Boy?
In that case, my fave is Caught a Light Sneeze.
Score = 0
after much consideration? the dakota remix of "hey jupiter" comes out on top.
honerable mentions to "putting the damage on," "honey," and "take to the sky." her cover of springsteen's "i'm on fire" is pretty great too. also, just because it's seasonally appropriate, her "have yourself a merry little christmas" is the best rendition i've ever heard.

"Raspberry Swirl" still rocks my day - it's hard to get through a week without hearing it, on repeat, for a solid five rotations. The inventive lyrics have never made "sense" to me, but the sheer, throbbing intensity gets the blood boiling - an exciting, and dangerous, surge of excitement, especially while bombing down a multi-lane freeway. The edgy thrill of "RS" encapsulates everything I look for in a song. And a girlfriend.

Winter, followed by Putting the Damage On.
I first heard Winter when I was about 16. I bought the tape (gasp) the next day, when I also picked up my first pair of glasses. I remember listening to the song repeatedly while looking in the mirror at the new (awful, in retrospect) glasses and layering on as much lipstick as I could to try to make my mouth look more like Tori's, and take attention away from my eyes.
God, that was long ago. I still adore that song.

My personal favorite is a b-side/instrumental from the Under The Pink days called "All The Girls Hate Her."
I actually learned this tune note for note in high school about ten years ago, as a "piano major" in my high school's arts program.
You can hear and feel the majestic beauty of the song at its pinnacle, and in later sequences, the tension that probably explains the title behind it.
Someday I might record my own version of it, and make it longer too since it's such a great song and a pretty much forgotten gem.
Score = 0
"Caught a Lite Sneeze." The lyrics always got to me -- boys on my left side, boys on my right side, boys in the middle and you're not here... the way you can be surrounded by people and never the right ones.

I very hard question to answer, but after much deliberation "A Sorta Fairytale" prevailed. To me, this is music at its perfection.

I first heard "Silent All These Years" in 1993 and it's been my absolute, hands down, favorite song since that day!
Score = 0
Cornflake Girl is without a doubt my favorite Tori song ever, although there's so many that come close - Silent All These Years, Crucify, Tear In Your Hand, Yes Anastasia, Take To The Sky...they're all amazing, but Cornflake Girl is my favorite.

My favorite Tori song is Strange Little Girls. Long story...but it doesn't just relate to her different characters of the song, but rather different personalities that walk among the world. The song is motivating and it's the most played song on my itunes...Ms. Amos is amazing and I think she the most incredible artist of all time!
Score = 0
Playboy Mommy and/or Blood Roses
It's a hard question to answer and depends on my mood.

My favorite I guess would be "Siren" because it is one of the first Tori songs i heard in the movie Great Expectations and after that my life was never the same.

My favourite Tori Amos song is "Pretty good year" It was the first song I learned on Piano, it makes me smile when I'm down and made me cry tears of joy when I saw Tori live in 2005 *big grin* Not only that it got me my A* in music as it was the song I not only played on piano but also sang... I'm no Tori Amos though, but I am very thankful for this song! It's the song I listen to before I go on stage as it calms my nerves and it's the song that has always and always will inspire me to write music, so regardless of whether I am lucky enough to win or not (My congrationlations to whom ever that is) I thank you greatly Tori!

My first favorite was "Marianne" - now "Take to the Sky" has the spot. I'm working on a piano version that incorporates hand cymbals - but I'm playing both parts at the same time. It's a little tricky, but I'll smooth it out soon enough. Also, I've set up my keyboard behind my piano so I can play both - just like Tori.

I love 'Frog on my Toe'!!!
It's so sweet. But its very hard finding an all time favourite song. ;)
Score = 0
It's essentially a coin toss for me, all dependent on how I'm feeling. Pretty Good Year has to be my personal favorite, because it reminds me of high school and the first time I heard Under The Pink and fell head over heels in love with all things Tori. On the other hand, there's Hotel, which is so great, it almost makes it hard just to have one personal favorite song. A final throw in could be her cover of Have Your Self A Merry Little Christmas which I remember buying on an import single from a local record store for 18 bucks just to hear that song, and it may just be the most beautiful thing she has ever done honestly.

Picking a favorite Tori song is like picking your favorite relative, you cannot do it without feeling like you are insulting someone...that being said, here are some of my top fave's:
Precious Things
Sugar
Doughnut Song (stayed up real late to see Tori perform this on 120 Minutes the night before Boys for Pele was released)
Yes, Anastasia
Past the Mission (gotta love TR on background vox)

"Caught A Lite Sneeze"
(although Raspberry Swirl comes in a a very, very, very close second)

Its hard to pick a favorite Tori song. Cooling will always make me cry but happy to have speant time with friends we may lost. Mother is also a favorite because it showed me my emotional and physical attachments to my family. But then there's Blood Roses or Precious Things that I can just screeeaaammmm all my frustration and anger away to.
Score = 0
hey
i got many favorites ... and the mood your in lays down the path of music listening ... but one I always like to hear is "Your Cloud" ... I love the piano in it ... I love the way she sings ... from very raw to very high toned ... just like life ... up and down ... making me who I am ... making My Body Map ...

There is not just one and it always depends on my mood or the enviornment. Lately, I pulled together my favorite "pub" songs i.e. Wrong Band, Ireland, Mr. Zebra, Wednesday, Humpty Dumpty, London Girls, That's What I Like Mick (The Sandwich Song), This Old Man, Stay Awake, Wheels on the Bus, With a Little Help From My Friends, Happy Phantom, and Way Down. I am sure I am missing many more!

So many favorites, so difficult to choose. "Putting The Damage On" is haunting and lovely and I can listen to it on repeat for hours. "A Sorta Fairytale" and "Northern Lad" remind me of relationships I cherished, and "Playboy Mommy" is so painfully poignant. Is there a very best? Maybe "Cornflake Girl," which stands apart as my introduction to Tori.

Sorta Fairytale.

So many to choose from! "Caught a Lite Sneeze" is the song that got me hooked on Tori, but I think my fav would have to be either "Leather" or "Mother." Two very, very different songs about conflicted relationships, but Tori's piano work and voice are both deeply emotional and impeccable.
