A total modern classic.

Liz Phair's classic album "Exile In Guyville" was supposedly recorded as a track by track response to the Rolling Stones' classic Exile on Mainstreet album.

It also is the best CD to listen to when you feel alienated.

This was easily my most played CD in highschool.

It's hard not to wish Liz still made music this powerful.

"Never Said" is one of my top 15 favorite songs of the 90s. One day I'll get around to watching the making of DVD in the reissue.

Sad that this thread has been practically ignored while the latest Latoya Jackson one has 100+ replies.

One of my favorite albums of all time. Makes me miss high school every time I listen to it. And it is one of my favorite albums to wallow to.

Always have been a big fan, and her last disc is pretty good, though its very un Liz Phair like.

Never liked her-something about her rubbed me the wrong way. Has she recorded anything since?

I guess this lady and this album are still fondly remembered by those who were 15-20 in 1993

but her chances of mainstream success were quickly neglected by Alanis and her more direct/overproduced style... or Sheryl Crow...

She opened doors for them, and ironically later sang backing vocals on Sheryl Crowe's album "C'mon, C'mon"

Ugh, I would choose Liz Phair's first two albums over Alanis any and every day. But you are right that Jagged Little Pill profited on the groundwork laid out by Exile in Guyville two years prior.

Actully one of her biggest hits was off her second album, Whip Smart, which is a great album but doesn't stand up to her debut. She later had a full Avril esque make over that met with big backlash.
