I'm pretty sure the only men that should sing that song are Mike Patton and...uh...nope, that's it. Because General Patton basically wins at life.
Not that the chick should sing that song, either, mind you.

Bliss, Juarez, Concertina, Glory Of The 80's, Lust, Suede, Riot Poof, Datura and Spring Haze are some of my all time favourite Tori tracks. I just love everything about Venus. My Tori albums in order or fav - least fav are:
Choirgirl
Venus
Scarlet
Pele
Pink
Posse
Sin
Earthquakes
Girls
Beekeeper
I know LE is low and don't get me wrong, I love it, but I just don't think it works particulaly well as an album. All great songs, but for some reason, they just don't gell together as an album for me

Ahhh, I got you. I like Suede quite a bit, particularly the version she did on Later with Jools Holland (epic!), but never quite connected with the studio side of Venus as well as I have with other albums. I do love the live side, though, especially The Waitress. Any time she busts out the "hang ten, honey" improv, I am enraptured.
I'm not sure I can pick an absolute favorite album, so we'll do my list like this:
Choirgirl/Pink/Pele
Earthquakes
Venus (live)
Scarlet
ADP
AAtS
Beekeeper
SLG
It makes me sad to put SLG last, because one of my favorite things about Tori are her amazing cover songs. Desperado, Whole Lotta Love, Thank You, Do It Again, Losing My Religion, Like a Prayer, etc, etc, etc - I LOVE when Tori covers a song, because she just does them so damn well and so uniquely. But SLG was just...meh.
