xp Now I know how badly clouded my judgement is by the hype around a film I didn't see 17 years ago I wish I could take back my vote.

if you are really looking for an example of "I don't think this singer actually understands English", you can't do much better than "All I Really Want"

am listening to Geek Stink Breath right now, and it's actually not bad. I never hear this song, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by it when I do

along the lines of "moody songs from later in these artists careers that i like," ana's song (open fire) still rules

I mean I think I made it clear upthread; my defense of Alanis itt pretty much ends at "You Oughta Know"

I will concede that she is, for me, behind a certain Rawlsian veil of teenagerdom where I can't ever sit down and be objective and say "All I Really Want is kind of not a very good song" because I know every word and just love singing along and always will.

I know we were not the only people to do something like this but my wife and I retitled "Ironic" to "A Bitch" to make the lyrics more accurate

'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me'... which was probably the last time I heard a U2 that made me go: "hey, I usually loathe this band, but that wasn't too bad..."

The thing with "All I Really Want" is how it starts mysterioso and ominous before transforming into the sound of a baby gargoyle stuffed in a blender.

Alanis: 'Why are you so petrified of silence... here, can you handle this?' *silence*
Me: "ah, relief".
Alanis: 'Did you think about your...'
Me: "ARGH! ARGHHHH!"

when i think about the 90s, i think about paying five bucks to see pavement play at the bar across the street from the record store where i worked.

Mine is a little more focused, tracking all of the songs on the Billboard Modern Rock Top 10 between January of 1990 and December of 1999. Just getting started though.

Which is everybody's favorite Alanis from the Ironic video? I think I'd rank mine:
2nd crazy Alanis (you are an extrovert and a little wild, probably very fun on a road trip)Raver Alanis (you have braids and maybe...drugs?)Ski Hat Alanis (you have a sweet hoopty, I guess)1st crazy Alanis (you were an extra in Jacob's Ladder)
