hello all, 
firstly, thanks to everyon ewho answered my question about lily.  Ok, 
now this whole tori thing...everyone is entitled to share their 
opinion, so here goes. I used to like Tori a lot, I even went to her 
concerts, bought the crappy merchandise, the whole nine yards.  But 
after I got "Into the Pink", i realized, quite bluntly, that I 
couldn't understand a damn thing she was singing about!  Her songs 
make absolutely no sense to me whatsoever, how can I appreciate that? 
One friend of mine is positive that she just picks words at random 
and strings them together.  I showed this friend "Feel It" from the 
Hammersmith odeon video, and he was gobsmacked, he thought it was 
tori in 1979! 
 On the other hand, tori got me into Kate in a big way.  I didn't 
grow up here in the US, I grew up in Europe where Kate is quite 
popular.  So in about 1991 or so, i picked up a copy of TWS, as i 
liked a lot of the songs on it, and I was totally overwhelmed by it, 
especially "Breathing".  Try and compare something like Cornflake 
Girl to "Breathing"...need I say more?

One more thing...I know that there are a lot of  bands out now who 
quote Kate as an influence, such as the Bluetones and Suede.  What 
are your opinions on these bands?

ok, bye bye
