June 13th 1995.

Album came out of nowhere. Then it was ubiquitous. Alanis and her harmonica were really good.

You're not kidding about the bolded. Current music had left me behind, anyway, by the time this record came out. But even my Luddite ### couldn't get away from it once it hit.

I don't like the album very much, because it's just not my thing. But I think it's very good, too, in that it's well-put-together. I certainly think it was an important record.

"You Oughta Know" still sounds fresh to me; the rest are "meh".

 
Yeah, I wouldn't use my taste as a barometer, but like you guys have said, it certainly came out of nowhere.

I did not like the album nor its ubiquity. I thought radio had so many other things to play in 1995-6 and it felt like this coasted on the fumes of the last vestiges of really crappy pop payola and the supply side of the record industry being forced upon demand. Voted "sucked" and "other."

Commercial radio in the 90s sucked. It had gotten so conservative that there were very few ways to find/break new (or rediscover old) music compared to decades past.

It's even worse now, but thankfully we have a bazillion other options these days.

 
I think it's the best record by a female artist of all time. The energy and emotional was unlike anything I had ever heard before. Many have tried to duplicate that but nobody has yet. All timer.

Cher and Madonna down? ;)

Seriously though, assuming you mean single artist, so Supremes and others would be left out, that still leaves Aretha, Diana Ross, and I'd take Adele's 21 over it.

I remember liking almost every song at the time but it hasn't held up well enough to be one of the greats.

Funny you mention Aretha because I almost posted that Alanis' record reminded me of Aretha's first Atlantic album. It's not in the same league, of course - I Never Loved A Man is probably one of the best 10 records ever; Christ, go ahead and take "Respect" off of it, and it still better than 99.9% of anything ever recorded. And Alanis didn't - and couldn't; no one else could either - have the career afterwards that Franklin did.

But, as a coming out record (to the general public), that's what Jagged Little Pill reminds me of.

 
I thought it sucked at the time and I still don't like it.

Was shocked it won best album here when somebody did the poll for best album of 1995.

 
It's the Wayne's World of music. It had some value when it came out in the 90s, but going back and sitting through the whole thing today would be unbearable.

 
She was amazing live during that period. Saw her at liberty lunch in Austin and she was a force of nature.

95 wasn't a strong year, but I can't believe FBG would choose Jagged Little Pill over What's the Story Morning Glory.
 
I always felt that it became popular because of the strong feminist rhetoric and the line about going down on Dave Coullier in a movie theater. People just thought that was cool and ballsy.

i stayed in this hostel just outside of London many years ago. One day I went to go take a shower and found that there was a line of about 5 or 6 other guys waiting for a shower stall to open up. I took my place at the end of the line...which happened to be all the way where the toilet stalls were.

After about 5 minutes of waiting some 104 year old, skinny, creepy Euro dude hustles into the bathroom and goes into one of the toilets.

I have no idea what was wrong with this old geezer but for the next 10 minutes his digestive tract played an entire symphony. His butthole farted, sprayed, trumpeted, thundered, hooted, bubbled, and I swear one time it sound like it was yodeling. Accompanying this rectal cacophony were ungodly splashing sounds and long, plaintiff moans. A few times the old man quietly cursed (I'm assuming) in German or Dutch or something. Actually he might have been praying.

I did not want to lose my place in line so I was forced to listen to that afront to everything good and decent until it was my turn for the shower.

All things being equal...I would rather listen to that 20 times than 1 Alanis Morissette song.

I'm guessing that, in the end, he was guilty.

:lmao: autocorrect/complete betrayed me

 
I think it was and still is very good, but also I think the incredible album sales gives it more stature than it probably deserves.

And I'm so old I remember her from "You Can't Do That On Television".

obvious Dave Coulier fan. :thumbdown:

 
Much like Carly Simon, Alanis has done a good job keeping secret the guy that screwed her over.

Dave Coulier is the most popular theory, but I've also heard Doug Gilmour and a few others.

Did you have one hand in your pocket?

 
Great album and very good album are the two leaders. Do you guys still listen to this album?

The love this album gets here is puzzling.
