Getting into Tori

**Edit!** I've already settled on From the Choirgirl Hotel as a my 90s-era starter, and In the Times of Dragons as my modern-era starter!

I just need one more choice, preferably something from the 00s or 10s, or something very different from the two I've already settled on!

PS: I am already a few tracks into Choirgirl and WTF WHERE WAS THIS MY WHOLE LIFE. I'm gonna make a post once all three album are decided and I've listened to all of them a few times!! Thanks so much for the recs so far!!!

**Edit 2: chronological is absolutely not going to happen lol - if I tried that, I would give up very fast.**

Hey everyone,

I've known of Tori since her heyday, but I never really got into her. I've passively liked the songs I've known/heard, and one of my favourite things I've seen from her was when she sang live and acoustic together with Maynard James Keenan.

Recently her new single has been playing on public radio, and it's hitting me in a way that Tori never hit me before in the past. It's actually a combo - three 90s singer-pianists that I never really got into and now I suddenly want to really dig into - Tori, Fiona Apple, and Ben Folds.

The problem is especially with Tori, as she has a *whopping 18 albums* :D I am an album person, rather than a song or playlist person. And I am totally overwhelmed and don't know where to start!

So I was wondering if y'all wouldn't mind helping me out a bit - maybe if you could recommend 3 albums for me to start with? I think ideally it would be 3 albums that might represent 3 different eras of hers? :)

Alanis Morissette is my favourite singer of all time, and from what I understand Tori is in a similar "field", so I don't quite know how I let her pass me by, but I think she was too soft and gentle for me back then - and now, with time, I can start to appreciate what I hear from her.

Thanks so much! I'm excited!!!
