I’ll bite. I ADORE _Precious Things_. I’m also very fond of _Yes, Anastasia_. Her more recent stuff hasn’t knocked my socks off. ---

Not like I won’t reappear in this thread a gazillion times changing my mind…but: Her own work, well, I have a thing for [**Take to the Sky**](http://ubl.artistdirect.com/fp2.asp?layout=a_artist_album&a_id=R+++174364&p_id=P++++22040&artistid=1011). Off the most recent [album](http://ubl.artistdirect.com/fp2.asp?layout=a_artist_album&a_id=R+++429231&p_id=P++++22040&artistid=1011), I prefer **Datura** and **Juarez**. And, finally, for a cover, **A Case of You**. ---

wow, I didn’t think this many dopers were tori fans. anyway, here goes the top 15: purple people pandora’s aquarium her cover of smells like team spirit leather happy phantom her cover of over the rainbow the maxi single version of hey jupiter space dog-the to venus and back version winter caught a light sneeze eeiiii(think I spelled it right) me and a gun icicle jackie’s strength playboy mommy I could go on forever-tori is capable of doing no wrong. I would say she did with cocaine, but I love the organ part of the song- if the whole song was like that, that would be my number one favorite tori song. ---

`Winter,'' `Hey Jupiter,’’ `Mr. Zebra,'' and the `Smells Like Teen Spirit’’ cover. I tend to like the songs with just a piano and her voice, maybe some strings, no percussion. ---
