I would have to say either "Strange Little Girls" or "the Beekeeper". I just don't really like any of the songs on "Strange Little Girls" (except "Enjoy the Silence") and I think "the Beekeeper" sounds too much like adult contemporary music (aka easy listening ... the same catagory I place Enya and Michael Bolton in).

"The Beekeeper" really bores me. I hate saying that, as much as I love Tori, but it just does. There are a few songs on it that I really like, but it seems to be the only CD of hers that I'm never really in the mood to hear. I think maybe there isn't enough constrast, and it just doesn't really move me at all. "Sleeps With Butterflies" and "Ribbons Undone" are pretty songs, but I don't really go to Tori Amos for that. I'm not that thrilled with "Strange Little Girls" either, but I do really love her version of Eminem's "'97 Bonnie and Clyde" and Joe Jackson's "Real Men".

I don't think I have a least favourite! :)
If I had to name one it would probably be Strange Little Girls just because I don't crave listening to it like I do the others. Scarlet's Walk is my favourite but that could be just because I got to see her in concert on that tour and it brings back memories *sigh*
I like the Beekeeper though, it is a little lest eccentric than most of her stuff but she does have her phases. Sweet the Sing and Sleeps with Butterflies get stuck in my head and my little girl loves Ribbons Undone.

Yeah, I think Strange Little Girls is my least favorite album. There are only a couple songs on there that I feel I could listen to again. I do love the photoshoot for the album art, though.

I'd say my least favorite is Y Kant Tori Read :)
If that doesn't count, then I'd say Strange Little Girls....with Beekeeper a close second. The piano composition is actually quite beautiful on those songs, but it just sounds over-produced (especially her voice, IMO)
