Oh Comon Slappy, you forgot Britney.
I also forgot New Kids on the Block's Xmas album.
Dammit.
Little Earthquakes is only for the times when Slappy needs a good cry, I'm sure...
Yes, I'm officially the only straight male who openly digs Tori Amos. At one of her concerts earlier this year, there were seperate doors to enter the arena for males and females, because they were frisking people. I was the only guy to walk through the door for the males at the time, then had to wait for the chick I was with for a good 5 minutes while she was in line.
I'm talking circles. I do cry when I listen to that album. Pretty awkward when I bring it to the gym.
Heh heh....I have 'Little Earthquakes' too...picked it up cuz she was so friggin' hot at the time...turns out she can write songs and sing too. Had the opportunity to see her on that album's tour in a small, intimate club setting. Amazing performance, and all that writhing on the piano bench was hot too...yeah, not a gym album...This particular club usually allowed people backstage as they mainly hosted local bands, but after the show, two burly lesbians wouldn't even let anyone use the backstage washrooms, let alone meet Tori. Between the wife and I, we have several Tori albums, but Little Earthquakes is still my straight male ass fave.
I was at a music festival a couple years ago and when Tracy Chapman came onstage the line for the men's room was a half mile long.
Cav....first time I saw her in concert, I was right in front of the stage. Thing I remember the most is how hot she looked straddling that bench. Wiggling around, looking like she was having a constant orgasm, hair going everywhere....
Hey, gotta run to the bathroom.
Oh, believe me Slappy....I made sure I got there early so I could be up front....

Donnie and Marie Live with Omaha Aquarium Choir.
That dyslexia never takes anything seriously. Citing a Donny and Marie live album when their studio work was far better -- transcendent, even. Pure sonic intoxication.
