A preacher's daughter and childhood piano prodigy, Tori Amos burst onto the early ‘90s alternative scene with one of the most singular voices in rock. From chilling confessionals about sexual violence to prodding takedowns of the Almighty, her passionate compositions struck a deep emotional chord with her fervent, devoted fan base—regardless of whether they could define what a “cornflake girl” was, or what it meant to catch a lite sneeze. While the ‘00s found Amos embracing epic concept albums and modern classical music, the core of her appeal will always boil down to the purest, truest form of her persona: a woman sitting at a piano, breathing life into the world.
