- A - Tori Amos

Yes, that's right, so what's Tori doing in a Rock Blog? Exhibit one Y Kant Tori Read one of those classic first albums that seem to disappear as the artist changes direction and creates a new first album ( Little Earthquakes ), which by the way is still a good album.

Y Kant sees Tori as a rocker, there's still a melodic undertone but I put this album forward as her best and she's never quite got there again (check out the Limited Edition cd single of Winter, containing stunning covers of Angie and Smells Like Teen Spirit). No apologies here, both of these recommendations will take a bit of searching for but that's what collecting is all about.

It only took me 20 years to track down a copy of the one and only album by Siam (Thank You and Goodbye).

Oh and those 'first albums' don't let anyone tell you Alanis Morissette's first album is Jagged Little Pill she has another two prior to that one that you'll have a challenge finding Alanis and Now Is The Time, both released five years before the 'debut' good luck.
