I haven't purchased it yet but I've really enjoyed their latest release Vapor TrailsKelly Antilles wrote:THE greatest trio EVER.

I can't say that all that much of their music is to my tastes but I can still appreciate how good they are. They also have a huge catalog of records that they've released.
Tori Amos and Billy Joel are my two piano gods. I have just about all of their music, and can play mosssst of it (some pieces, like Tori's "Precious Things" are a hell of a lot hard to play than they sound) and sing too, but usually can't manage to do both well. Except for a couple of the slow 'n' pretty ones ("Winter," "Here. In My Head," "Flying Dutchman," "Black Swan," etc). Billy's songs I usually don't sing along to because my voice doesn't go that low (except for "And So It Goes" which I just bump up an octave).aerius wrote:I was at a Tori Amos concert last year and she did a couple Elton songs, her versions just killed Elton's, her piano and live improv skills are quite impressive. Her songs are pretty tough too I think, a couple good piano players I know can either play the songs or sing them, but they can't do both at the same time without losing time and mangling things.

Do you know Tori's version of "Thank You" by Led Zeppelin?
Vocalists: I'd say Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, or Freddie Mercury from Queen.Asst. Asst. Lt. Cmdr. Smi wrote:Of all the bands today (and of the past), who of which band do you think is the best vocalist? Best guitarist? Best drummer? Best on keyboards? Best at something else?
That's not silly at all.GrandMasterTerwynn wrote:

Hmmm....I have the music to "Voodoo" somewhere--I'll look for it later if you like and can scan it and email it to you, if you're interested.... Only, I should tell you that it doesn't include the piano intro section--the piano music starts about 30 seconds into the CD version of the song. It's kind of annoying, but you could probably pick out the real beginning with your ears if you wanted to.aerius wrote:Yup, I have that CD somewhere but haven't listened to it in a while, I should pull it out and get re-acquainted with with. Right now I still know all the songs on the album but I can't quite remember how half of them go. "Winter", "Crucify, and "Angie" I remember perfectly, but the other 2 I'm only vaguely familiar with now. I just got my hands on her "Scarlet's Walk" CD last week so it shouldn't be too long until I finish listening to it 50 times and start cycling back through her albums again. Now if I could only figure out how she plays "In the Sprintime of his Voodoo" I'll be happy.
Did I mention that I got to hug Tori after a concert in Toronto last year, and that I have tickets to her concert here next week?
Feel free to say "You Suck!", I'll understand.
Enjoy the concert--I'm sure it'll kick fuckin' ass.Better than the guy from the Moody Blues?GrandMasterTerwynn wrote: And, for a bit of sillyness:
