Jagged Little Pill: Released Twenty-Years Ago (1 Viewer)

[Officer Pete Malloy]

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.

Regularly referred to as one of the best by critics...it's not like we're on an island here.

Cite?

The album that defined my high school years. Listen to the whole thing periodically and there are a good 5-6 songs that get played more often. One of the best from the 90's for sure.

There is a lot of gold to be mined in this thread. Or boogers. Not sure which.

Oh and I didn't realize it was the 45th best album of the 90s.

Sgt freaking Pepper territory right there.

I will admit that the one hand in my pocket and ironic songs were catchy but Rage Against the Machine, the Doors, and the Dead defined my high school years. assestotheleft:

Remember hearing it on Loveline all the time.

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".

Then you must remember this pre-Jagged Little Pill gem:

[Galileo]

I think it's the best record by a female artist of all time.

I nominate Carole King's Tapestry for this category.

Jagged Little Pill is like a Nineties version of Carole King's Tapestry: a woman using her plain soft-rock voice to sift through the emotional wreckage of her youth, with enough heart and songcraft to make countless listeners feel the earth move.Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-best-albums-of-the-nineties-20110427/alanis-morissette-jagged-little-pill-20110517#ixzz3d8SOQTks

So what part of the record was about getting dumped with green slime?

It's like ten thousand knives when all you need is a spoon.

 

[Jeremy]

I like it a little bit. I remember being in a dart league around that time and in nearly every bar "You Oughta Know" came on the jukebox and boy did the ladies love singing along with that one!

 

[GoFishTN]

I'd almost forgotten I was old, thanks!

PS: Love the album.

Shortly after getting my introductory offer of 10 CDs for a penny from Columbia House, I was surprised by an unexpected shipment of the "Album of the Month" at a cost of around $22. That CD turned out to be Jagged Little Pill. I was pretty annoyed at the time and quickly figured out how to cancel the automatic monthly shipments from Columbia House. But, I have to admit, that album got a lot of spins from me back in 6th grade, perhaps because it was one of only about 12 CDs that I owned at the time. Looking back, I guess I was pretty lucky to stumble upon a classic album like Jagged Little Pill. I suppose I could have ended up with an album from Celine Dion or Paula Abdul.

I always liked the weird minimalist feel of the

music video.

Very good album. Didn't do much for me when it was new but didn't mind the radio tunes. Former IT guy in my office had an insanely large music collection on a shared server (his relative worked in the music biz - talking TBs worth of music) and JLP was on it. It grew on me and is in semi-regular rotation on my Google Play.
