Alanis Morissette
 

There isn't a thread so in honor of her releasing a new album, I'm gonna post this video which I saw for the first time today and it totally blew my mind because this was just 4 years before Jagged Little Pill came out.



Wow. She certainly made a radical change in sound!

I also had no idea she was a co-author on Jagged Little Pill, with the music apparently being mostly written by a certain Glen Ballard.

I went down this rabbit hole by reading this (interesting!) article:

Btw, I of course loved JLP back in the day!

Let's hope she's miserable and pissed off this time.

I like Alanis Morissette. But Liz Phair was better in, basically, every respect.

I mainly like her for her popular song known as "You Oughta Know", she also had some other pretty good alt rock hits in the mid-to-late 90s and 2000s as well.

'You Learn' is also fine. The whole record is good. Flea plays bass on some songs.

Liz Phair is a textbook definition of sellout. Compare any track from Exile in Guyville to Why can't I.

Who cares if she 'sold out'? It's not like Morissette's post 2000 albums are anything to write home about.

Guyville > Jagged Pill

Flavours of Entanglement, bitch. And Liz Phair has an annoying voice.

Then again, Alanis Morrissette is just plain annoying.

Whatever, Beetle Bailey.

they're not even comparable imo. Jagged Little Pill has some bangers but Guyville is so much better
dude what
Her voice is one of the best things about her music, it's pleasantly deep and has that delicious Lou Reed tremor occasionally

No she just sounds bad.

100%.

Liz's voice is absoutely great.

Musicbanter wouldn't know integrity if it took a **** in your mouth

The only people who think Liz Phair is a sellout are guys like Steve Albini. I have yet to hear a good argument for it

I don' care I just don't like her music.

I respect that

Maybe we have different definitions of "sell out?" She changed her sound to be more commercially viable.

All right, if you talk about her later albums then that's fair enough, but it's not really relevant when talking about Liz Phair at her best

No certainly not. But that's what makes it so bad. There are worse bands who were maybe more blatant - Hoobastanks second album was levels of godawful that can't be replicated - but they weren't good in the first place.

Bro stop admitting you listened to Hoobastank albums. All you do is dunk on yourself.

That first album came out during peak Incubus. Of course I bought it. The second one I honestly thought was a practical joke from the radio station.

I'd cry too if I'd made that much money.
