Crucify
Granted, it was her timely cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" that gained Tori Amos instant notoriety--if only because we all got to hear whatKurtwas actually saying. But that track pales before Amos's cover of "Thank You"--a thoughtful rendition that reminds us just how many dimensionsLed Zeppelin's music had. Also found on this 1992 EP is Amos's take on theStones' "Angie," as well as "Winter," a beautiful ballad in which the artist lives up to her reputation as the AmericanKate Bush. On the other hand, the "Crucify" remix isn't particularly crucial--especially when compared to the more adventurous mixes Amos would commission for subsequent singles.--Bill Forman
