I found a story at Yahoo! News from Reuters/Variety on December 2, 2001 about a music poll from Q Magazine in the U.K. for the Greatest Female Rock and Pop Artist Of All Time. Tori placed 4th in the list! This list also appeared in the December 2001 issue of Q Magazine in the U.K. Here were the top 5:
In Q Magazine, they include a photo of Tori with the verbage, "the scourge of piano tuners everywhere" and a recommendation to listen to "Little Earthquakes".

Britain's PJ Harvey beats Madonna in music poll
LONDON, Dec 3 (Reuters) - British singer-songwriter PJ Harvey is the
greatest female rock and pop artist of all time, according to a music
magazine poll.
Harvey, the daughter of a sheep farmer in rural Somerset, west England,
beat Madonna (news - web sites) into second place and Kate Bush into third
in Q Magazine's survey of 200,000 readers.
"She (Harvey) makes music of substance and our readers respond to that,"
Q Magazine's editor Danny Eccleston told the Times newspaper on Monday.
"Whereas we know everything about Madonna, there is a real mystique about
Polly."
Harvey, 32, whose off-stage name is Polly Jean Harvey, became the first
female artist in 10 years to win Britain's respected Mercury Music Prize in
September.
She won the award and 20,000 pounds ($28,500) for her album "Stories from
the City, Stories from the Sea."
Her 1992 debut album, "Dry," won critical acclaim in North America and
Britain and led to successful U.S. tours.
"I am a very competitive person," Harvey told Q. "If I am going to do
something I want to be the best at it."
The poll leant towards younger performers, with Tori Amos and Bjork in
fourth and fifth place.
Harvey beat off competition from classic artists including Janis Joplin
(10th), Stevie Nicks (9th) and Aretha Franklin (11th).
Big-selling pop idols who failed to make the top 20 included Britney
Spears at 24th, Mariah Carey (46th) and Whitney Houston (71st). |
