I would say Tori Amos, since I haven't listened to Suzanne Vega that much. Little Earthquakes, Under The Pink, Boys For Pele, From The Choirgirl Hotel, To Venus And Back and (really!) Y Kant Tori Read are my favourites. I have listened to all her catalog of studio tracks, however, I prefer her first 6 efforts. Fact is that Tori was the reason I started listening to music other than metal. So - Tori Amos (with respect to Suzanne Vega).

Yes.
 
I appreciate and enjoy also Tori Amos quite a lot, but for several albums of Suzanne Vega I have much closer relationship than to any of Amos. Less proggy, for sure, but an excellent singer-songwriter with a lovely voice.

Suzanne Vega, though I love Tori's debut.

I like them both a lot, although both have hits and misses. Will go with Suzanne for a slightly higher number of hits, also I saw both of them live and liked Suzanne's gig slightly more (and Tori was not bad but too expensive for a solo show).

Suzanne Vega. I have a long history with her debut, and still play it quite often to this day. Love it. Some of her other releases are cool too, especially 9 Objects of Desire, and her Pentacles album was a nicer-than-expected surprise.

I do like Songs from the Choirgirl Hotel and sometimes I'll spin Little Earthquakes from Tori as well. But I prefer Suzanne overall.

Which is your favourite?

Wow!!!!
I love both!
Suzanne Vega I and Solitude Standing are wonderful.

Tori Amos first four albums are wonderful.

Tori Amos....(But How sensual is she??!!!)
