why is it so wrong to not like Tori Amos? |
|
Every time I mention that I don't care for her music someone, usually female, responds "WHAT!!! I can't believe you don't like Tori Amos!!!" I have nothing against her she's is quite talented and all but it's just not my thing. But it seems that She's one of those artists that everyone HAS to like and if you don't there's something wrong with you. Her fans are more than a bit obsessive in their devotion to her.

1. i'm not a big fan of her either |
|
but it's not just women who are a tad obsessive about her. my ex-boyfriend used to get really irritated when i'd ask him if we could listen to something else after he'd play one of her cds three times in a row

2. I've never cared for her. |
|
It's not a comment on my opinion of her talent; I just don't like her voice. :shrug:

3. Don't worry, you're not alone |
|
You're just experiencing the typical ultrafan reaction:
"How dare you not validate me by liking my music?"

5. Loved her early work, her later stuff kinda lost me... |
|
But yeah, I can see that in many musicians' fans, not just Tori's. Never understood that, either.

6. I stand with you, brother. |
|
I'm not a fan either, and don't care who knows it. Tori sucks.

7. There's lots of artists in the "required to like" category. |
|
You should hear/read how much shit I get when I tell people that RATM and Tool just don't do it for me. Someone actually put me on ignore here because of this . . . and meant it. Jesus, who the hell is THAT headstrong about a rock group?
Tori does nada for me also.

10. Tool, that IS a hot button topic |
|
:scared: to mention it.
I'm pretty bored with Tori as well--she is one of the huge array of musicians for whom I have deep respect, and no affection.

11. I like a lot of her stuff but I agree that she butchered it. |
|
She is ok, but not someone I would obsess over.

12. Because love is always stronger than hate. Replace your hatred of Tori Amos with.... |
|
...a love for Motorhead. You'll get the same results.
