Y Kant Tori Read is the name of the 1980s synthpop band (and their self-titled debut album), formed by then-unknown singer and songwriter Tori Amos. The band consisted of Tori, singer-pianist Kim Bullard, and future Guns N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum, as well as long-time Amos collaborator guitarist Steve Caton and various studio musicians. Due to the spelling of the band and album name, some critics believed the album was a solo project by a woman named "Tori Read", wondering "Why can't Tori read...do what?" This was compounded by the fact that Amos is billed simply as "Tori" in the liner notes.

The band released an eponymous album in 1988 before splitting, and received miserable sales; it is now one of the most sought-after Tori Amos collectibles, fetching upwards of $1,000 in compact disc format in original longbox. At the height of Amos' career vinyl copies would often sell for between $300-500, but due to the decline of music collectibles and the heavy pirating of the record, they now frequently sell for between $50-80.
