Tori pettered out pretty quickly IMHO, but the first albums are great and I am glad to see it being recognized.

Actually, I don't think she petered at all, I think Choirgirl and Venus are fantastic, and I actually agonized over whether my list would have Choirgirl or Earthquakes.

Technically, I think Choirgirl is a better album, but there something about the songs on Earthquakes that flows a little better as a collection. And by leaving Choirgirl off my list, it means I don't get "Spark" on my desert island, so it was a painful cut to make.
