American singer/songwriter Tori Amos is one of several artists to have a breakthrough in the '90s by combining the stark, lyrical attack of alternative rock with a distinctly '70s musical approach, creating music that fell between the orchestrated meditations of Kate Bush and the stripped-down poetics of Joni Mitchell.

In addition to reviving those singer/songwriter traditions of the '70s, she has also reestablished the piano as a rock & roll instrument, commanding the keys with both intimacy and aggression.
