Yeah, and I figured it was a bit of a tangent for this thread, to boot.
Liz Phair has had quite an interesting career. She was an indie/alt rocker in the early 90s with a lot of street cred, a real firecracker who wrote extremely explicit songs like
Flower. I saw her open for Alanis Morrisette in the mid-90s, in this phase. Liz was good, but Alanis blew me away with the power of her voice. She's on a level with Bono, as far as booming rock vocalists.
Anyway, Liz rebooted her career in 2003 by teaming with pop/top40 producers. She got trashed by a lot of critics and fans, but she won over a whole bunch of new fans, and I myself like the new stuff. It's definitely more accessible than the old stuff.
Her
wikipedia bio sums it all up pretty well.
