Tori At 50

.

I am a horrible fan - I had no idea today was Tori Amos' 50th birthday. The shame, the shame. Weirdly though I have been going through a Tori phase for the past week, as if my mind was urging me there - when you've been a fan of someone for pretty much your entire life (I was fifteen when I started listening to her) you set them aside sometimes, don't listen to them for a little bit, and then one song will hit you and you'll dive back in for awhile; I got "Caught a Lite Sneeze" stuck in my head last week, after a period of not having listened to her for a bit, and so I've been soaking in her again. Anyway thankfully we have Joe Reid, who knew it was her 50th birthday, and went and wrote up this epic list of his favorite one hundred songs of hers. Go forth, Toriphiles, and soak yourselves. Now all I want to do is stick my headphones in and work my way through them all, and then all the other hundreds of songs she's written. Happy birthday, Tori! What's your favorite song? Oh and because Joe left off one of my absolute favorite songs (how dare he) here's that:
