Alanis Morissette in the 90s

[Perfectpanda01]

Just listening to it now and singing along loudly (I was 20 I think when Jagged Little Pill came out), I'd forgotten how good it was!

Love her. Saw her playing at the scorching Phoenix festival (95?). She was brilliant.

Love.

Saw her in concert and thought she was quite good. I was there for Garbage though

I remember warbling the lyrics to You Oughta Know clutching a bottle of 20/20 walking home from a nightclub when my boyfriend and I had a row and split up, I was probably 15

Yep, the only ironic thing about Ironic is that a woman who doesn't understand irony wrote a song called ironic

My friends and I went to ‘jagged little singalong’ at the Edinburgh festival last year. A band played the album from start to finish as we all screamed along. It was amazing!!

Madonna signed Alanis to her Maverick label.
Throughout the 1990s to the middle 2000s, Maverick would also release albums by Erasure, Michelle Branch, Meshell Ndegeocello, U.N.V., Dana Dane, N-Phase, Dalvin DeGrate, The Prodigy, Cleopatra, Tyler Hilton, Muse, Deftones, Summercamp, No Authority and William Orbit. "I'm happy with Maverick

Decided to listen to JLP this morning on the way to work. Apple Music suggestions brought me to Skunk Anansies Stoosh. Now that was an album

Ahh, she was great for the rebelling teenage years. Her, Nirvana and the Cranberries. Happy times.

I liked Thank You but I’m not sure if that was on JLP
I always forget she and Ryan Reynolds were engaged

Yep Twattymctwatterson, that makes the song hugely ironic 😁 but still a bit annoying.

I loved her. Then I saw her live. She was utterly wooden, pretty much just stood still and sang. May even have been miming. Worst gig I've seen in my entire life. Dull, dull, dull.

She was great when I saw her at Phoenix she was full of energy and took over from the drummer!

One of my and DH's favourite albums of all time. Head over feet was our first song at our wedding!

I still have the original and mine is on cassette, not cd.

Right through you is the best track, for me.

Funnily enough I also recently rediscovered Alanis when Amazon music coughed up all my old downloads.

It's amazing how your interpretation of the lyrics change as you get older.

I'm going left field and recommending Thank U as my absolute favorite. I bawled my eyes out at the lines:
How 'bout me not blaming you for everything
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you

She just spoke to my tired, sad heart that day. Glorious.

I loved Alanis too! I have jagged little pill, and under rug swept

Wasnt so keen on supposed former infatuation junkie but there were one or two good tracks namely thank you and my fave, that I would be good.

Also love not as we.

I know what you mean about the lyrics when you get older. I dug my cd out about a week ago after years and years of not listening to it.

I was singing along to ironic and for a second thought how really awful it would be for me to have rain on my wedding day and then though fuck - I’ve been married 8 years and it didn’t rain. Actually it’s done and all that expectation in the songs is about things that have already happened to me.

Loved it on The Trip when Coogan and Brydon were singing along.

What kind of name is that, Alanis?
Well I suppose its the female version of Alan.
No it can't be. If it was, it would be pronounced Alan-is.

I was for firmly into house, hip hop and everything NOT white, American indie, rock or grunge at the time...

But I bloody loved You Oughta Know
