Alanis is definitely one of the best female artists' of our generation. 'That I Would Be Good', is one of the greatest songs, in my opinion. It's hard to say who the best is. Fiona Apple, Tori Amos and India Arie are right up there with her.
listen to all of stripped and back to basics; not just the radio songs
I really love 'Hurt'. It's beautiful and touches a lot of nerves. Linda Perry co-wrote it. She's a genius too.
