Exile in Guyville is better than almost every Pearl Jam album.

Unless this thread is about her music, I'm moving this bullshit to GD

The ’90s were an odd decade.

Back then, a young, impressionable person could discover an artist through Rolling Stone and still feel like they were “underground.” Such was the case with Liz Phair; her 1993 debut Exile In Guyville was full of unorthodox chord progressions and radio-unfriendly lyrics, yet there she was in the pages of everyone’s favorite corporate rock magazine.

Despite never even achieving gold status, the album remains an enduring indie classic; Phair has made lots of great music since 1993, but nothing she or anyone else has ever released sounds anything like Guyville.

Guyville, Whip-Smart, and Whitechocolatespaceegg are monster records. I adore all three of them. Basically, every track on those first three albums are damn good to fucking outstanding.

I actually don't hate Liz Phair, Somebody's Miracle or Funstyle, but those records are nowhere near as consistent or good as the first three. I kinda love how bananas Funstyle is. That might be my favorite of the final three.

[epilogue]

She also has some outstanding b-sides and outtakes. I really dig a lot of the castoffs from the self-titled sessions.

[run2death]

I legitimately hate everything after Whitechocolatespaceegg.

[epilogue]

There are a handful of tracks on S/T and Somebody's Miracle that adore and frequently spin and/or include on mixes/playlists. But there's a lot to dislike, too. Like a lot, a lot.
