“Mein Plattenschrank” (My Record Closet)  

Tori’s ten favorites albums: Led Zeppelin - Box Set Marvin Gaye - Greatest Hits David Bowie - Aladdin Sane The Beatles - White Album Janis Joplin - Pearl Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love The Cure - Mixed Up Talk Talk - Spirit Of Eden The Pretenders – Pretenders Stevie Wonder - Inner Visions

About Hounds Of Love, Tori says:  “I love the second side of this album.  I was in Los Angeles when I heard this record for the first time.  I was hanging out in the rock chick scene.  Thigh-high boots, gigantic amounts of hairspray, and everything.  I had encountered nothing but rejection for months, nobody liked my piano stuff.  And I was in a band that did something completely different.  Then I found this record, and put it on, listened to side one, liked it OK, listened to side two, listened to side two again, and again, and again and again (sings):  “You can’t hear me, you can’t hear what I’m saying, you didn’t hear me come in, you won’t hear me leaving.”  This turned me inside out.  It changed my life.  I decided to leave the man with whom I shared an apartment; I left the man I was living with because of this record.”
