The '90s It Girls You Wanted (and Still Kind of Want) to Be

Phair's 1993 album "Exile in Guyville" has been called "the most glorious, girly 'f*ck you' ever," and even that seems like an understatement. It was a true feminist proclamation and one that couldn't have come sooner, because we wanted to be as brazen, candid, and confidently flawed as Phair was. Would there have been an Alanis Morissette without Phair? Maybe not.
