You can't be serious.  If you are referring to the fact that Tori Amos uses
the I-mIII-IV chord pattern very frequently, and Kate Bush was using that very
same chord pattern even earlier on, so what?  Similar chord changes do NOT
make for plagerism (how *do* you spell that word?).  That's like saying that
any fifties song using the I-VI-IV-V pattern was ripping off the ending of
Handel's "Messiah".

Look, I'm one of those people who (gasp) thinks that both Tori and Kate are
original, and talented, and amazing, and aren't all that much alike.  This
whole Tori vs. Kate thing is utterly ridiculous.

Early thirties, actually.
