She is incredible. I have been going through songs on You Tube and there is so much more to her than Jagged Little Pill.

She is an incredible songwriter, not a lyricist or a studio made somebody, She writes, produces and her songs have heart,emotion,depth and stick with u forever.


My favs are:

Unsent
I would Be Good
Everything
This Grudge
Joining You
Uninvited
So Pure
Thank U
Hands Clean
Doth I Protest too much
Precious Illusions
8 easy Steps
Still

Of course? the Jagged little Pill CD

I am rediscovering her as we speak so I'll post more once I get through some songs I havent heard in a long time.

Anyone else think she is the greatest female artist of our generation?

If not, Id love to hear who is.

I think the damn Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie album is right on par with Jagged Little Pill.

She is also an incredible live vocalist.

I've always stayed clear of her offerings after Jagged Little Pill for some reason, though been meaning to change that

She is (was?) an outstanding singer - Jagged Little Pill is a superb offering, transcending pop, rock and probably grunge too.

I don't know about overrall greatest female artist of our generation......but as for female albums, Jagged Little Pill is definitely the greatest.  There's not a song I've ever disliked on it.  It's actually in my list of top 20 albums of all time.

Jagged little pill is a great disc, really really good.  The one after that was ok, and most after that is kinda ..."eh".

Sheryl Crow might top her though, shes been around for a long time and has had a lot of successful songs/albums. 

Dido had a really good disc to.  dont' know much about the rest of her catalog though.

i'd have to agree with hannahat as far as nominating dido. she has two very good albums. but her career can't be compared with alanis' because she hasn't been around that long.

Alanis is the modern female version of Bob Dylan.  Her music is timeless.  Although she may not be the most talented singer in the world, she is a tremendous songwriter.  That and her popularity makes me want to compare her to Dylan.  She keeps her music simple and classy and does not alter her artistic integrity to conform to trends.  Reminds me of Dylan, once again.

Sheryl Crow is good, but her songs aren't timeless and she has had the tendency to conform to "pop" somewhat.

My second place star would be Jewel.  People say "she went pop,"  but that was clearly a satirical performance of what female pop music has become.

As a Canadian, I can tell you that years ago you couldn't go anywhere without hearing one of her songs, and now it appears her spotlight has sadly faded.

Tori Amos better than Alanis?

U gotta be kidding.

Mysteron u cant leave the thread hanging.  If she isnt the best who is?


The way Alanis paints a story is amazing, her characters are truly brought to life but yet her material stays relatable.


I dont think Tori Amos comes anywhere close to Alanis.

Voice-wise, I think Fiona Apple is better than Alanis.

Jenny Lewis (the former child actress turned indie rock star) has an amazing voice and is incredibly talented at song writing.

Madonna would fall into our generation.

Tori Amos is up there.

Bjork to some might be up there, I'm not into her though.

Definitely not into Sheryl Crow. 

Linda Perry could write some kickass tunes.

Shania Twain can wail!

Album wise though......Jagged Little Pill has them all beat.  It's just an amazing album from start to finish.  Tidal by Fiona is up there for me too, I like every single song on it.  Nothing either artist has done lately has been that great though.

I love Fiona Apple but she doesnt have the catalog Alanis has.

Madonna is more of a pop type who relied a lot on producers etc etc

Madonna is more famous and popular and BIGGER but she isnt as profound lyrically as Alanis.

Alanis had Glen Ballard on Jagged, but she has proven that she can write great songs on her own.

Jenny Lewis,,,,, no

Bjork........ NO

Shania twain is great but nowhere on Alanis' level lyrically and just musically.
