Myra Ellen Amos – better known as Tori Amos – is a singular voice in American popular music. While she has been nominated for such major accolades as Grammys and MTV Video Music Awards, she never received significant mainstream radio play in America. Still, her prodigious musical skills and captivating, poetry-rich lyrics confronting topics like religion, misogyny, and sexual assault made her an alt-pop icon who enjoyed considerable success in the 1990s and beyond. Now, more than 30 years into her musical career, and on the eve of the release of 18th studio album, In Times of Dragons, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back and attempt to name the Best Tori Amos Song. Songs discussed: “Silent All These Years,” “Taxi Ride,” “God,” “Winter,” “Spark,” “China,” “Little Earthquakes,” “Crucify,” “Cornflake Girl,” “Jackie’s Strength,” “Tear in Your Hand,” “Pretty Good Year,” “Raspberry Swirl,” “Hey, Jupiter,” “A Sorta Fairytale,” “Precious Things” Join host Eric Rezsnyak, Patreon sponsor Bob Erlenback, and GPCD panelists Jim Czadzeck and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of their favorite songs by Tori Amos.
