To make up for one of my missed picks...

Moving Beastie Boys - Ill Comunication to RAP, and this will be my 1994-1996 pick (1995).



All lyrics by Alanis Morissette. Music written by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard.
  1. "All I Really Want" – 4:44
  2. "You Oughta Know" – 4:09
  3. "Perfect" – 3:07
  4. "Hand in My Pocket" – 3:41
  5. "Right Through You" – 2:55
  6. "Forgiven" – 5:00
  7. "You Learn" – 3:59
  8. "Head over Feet" – 4:27
  9. "Mary Jane" – 4:40
  10. "Ironic" – 3:49
  11. "Not the Doctor" – 3:47
  12. "Wake Up" – 4:53
Some CDs contain two hidden tracks. At index mark number 13 appears another version of "You Oughta Know" with a heavier bass guitar (a remix by Jimmy Boyelle called "The Jimmy the Saint Blend"), followed by an un-indexed a cappella recording of "Your House" (sometimes referred to as "Forgive Me Love"). Other CDs only contain "Your House" as a bonus track.

Jagged Little Pill is the third studio album (and the first to be released internationally) by Canadian singer Alanis Morissette. The album made a sharp turn in genre and style for Morissette from her previous dance pop sound.

The album garnered great success, spending twelve non-consecutive weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart, and became one of three albums – along with Thriller by Michael Jackson and Falling into You by Céline Dion – to remain in the Top Ten for over a year.

The album had a slow rise up the charts, but four million copies were shipped in the U.S. during 1996, and in 1997 it became the best-selling album of the year, with ten million shipments. On July 29, 1998, the RIAA certified it 16× platinum.

It was the second-best-selling album of the 1990s, behind Shania Twain's Come on Over,[1] with twenty-eight million copies sold by 2000. By January 2005, the album had sold 30 million units worldwide.

In October 2002, Rolling Stone ranked it number 31 on its Women In Rock - The 50 Essential Albums list, and in 2003 the magazine ranked it number 327 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

And something I wasn't aware of until now...

Dave Navarro – guitar on "You Oughta Know"
Flea – bass on "You Oughta Know"
