"You Oughta Know" is often cited as the most popular Alanis song, but this has always been my favorite.

My kids are getting curious,. I am usually against buying CDs I lost 30 years ago but Jagged Little Pill is iconic of our era.
ARookwood@reddit
‘Forgiven’ is seriously underrated.
Tyraid@reddit
There it is
TrustAffectionate966@reddit
I don't like her music, but I like "Thank You." I also liked her role in Dogma.
🔥🔥🔥
eatsleepdive@reddit
Godma in her case
ThePizzaNoid@reddit
I honestly love the song she did for Dogma, Still.
It's incredible.
maggie320@reddit
She was great in Dogma.
DinnerSilver@reddit
Man she has still got it!!
Keils-and-Thrills@reddit
This is mine and my husband's song.
Relevant-Bit-7394@reddit
I like one hand in my pocket.
kinkyslc1@reddit

An Emotion Away.

You know, when I heard the lyrics "you're my best friend/ best friend with benefits" and "I've never felt this healthy before," naive teenage me thought it meant she was dating a doctor.
Mission_Fart9750@reddit
She is Not The Doctor
brainvheart143@reddit
lol like the benefits were health insurance
big_ringer@reddit
Yes! Exactly!
brainvheart143@reddit
I mean, I’ll take those benefits 😂
Fair_Blood3176@reddit
You oughta know is unique because it's not a song about a list of things.
Reasonable-Wave8093@reddit
is it like reyeyaaaain?
SeekingNoTruth@reddit (OP)
Isn't it coincidental?
kinkyslc1@reddit
Don't ya think?
Derrick_Mur@reddit
More like a free ride when you already paid
Metamorphica_0226@reddit
On your wedding day?
ThunderBayOPP@reddit
I'll put in a vote for "Right Through You" 'cause I'm a sucker for any song about how shitty the music industry is.
maggie320@reddit
I had to pull up Jagged Little Pill and All I Really Want just transported me back to riding shotgun in my sister’s jalopy Chevy. Good times.
No-Dig-4408@reddit
That wail near the end, 10/10.
Imnotonthelist@reddit
I loooooove that song
noonesaidityet@reddit
Uninvited. I wouldn't even call myself a fan, but that is a great song.
No-Dig-4408@reddit
Her voice is so eerie in that one and I love it.
big_ringer@reddit
Yes! Much better song from the "City of Angels" soundtrack than Iris.
Adrasteia-One@reddit
Yes. That song still slaps all these years later.
SeekingNoTruth@reddit (OP)
Saw her a couple of years ago and she sang Uninvited, along with everything else you'd want her to sing at a concert. I was entertained.
hatfarm@reddit
One Hand in my Pocket was my favorite, but You Oughtta Know was what put her on the map for me.
tigerblue1984@reddit
I'm a "You Learn" girl but yeah. Jagged Little Pill was such a moment.
Smurfblossom@reddit
That was a good one. I also enjoyed Mary Jane as well.
IceWaLL_@reddit
Not everyone's favorite singer but damn did she sing her songs from her soul. She was real and honest, you have to respect that.
OskeyBug@reddit
Thank U is objectively her best song
Therealfern1@reddit
Not a fan, can’t put my finger on it, but I’ve never been able to get into her music at all
One of the few truly Xennial music acts and I just want nothing to do with it
Tdk1984@reddit
Same. Jagged Little Pill was the first album I ever owned and I bought it specifically because of Head Over Feet.
ConditionalDisco@reddit
I love every last bit of that CD. I listened to that on straight repeat my freshman year in college. She's amazing live too!
scattershotdreams@reddit
You Learn was my favorite off of that album!
carlivar@reddit
Correct answer
Selmarris@reddit
I was working at Starbucks when they did the acoustic rerelease of jagged little pill and it might be my favorite album of all time. It lives in my car stereo still.
MoarFlavor@reddit
Agreed. Doesn’t help that they played this so much that it’s burned into our souls for all eternity, but agreed.
SpicyChill77@reddit
Hands Clean
mixreality@reddit
I saw her at her Vegas residency last Oct and she explained that song was about being statutory raped and preyed on as a teen in the music industry.
Country_Gravy420@reddit
Super creepy song, but it's good.
Ms_Rarity@reddit
This is the way.
Myrtle_Snow_@reddit
Agree. I liked the other songs but Head Over Feet is what made me buy the CD.
I’ve been listening to Jagged Little Pill when I work on projects that involve a lot of BS from people who annoy me. Best productivity hack ever 😆
Cisru711@reddit
That was my favorite on the album well before it got any radio air.
modulus801@reddit
Did your local radio station often forget to bleep the f-bomb?
wizardofmops@reddit
I agree, Head Over Feet is my favorite too
WhatTheCluck802@reddit
EVERY single song on that album slaps. I can’t pick a favorite!
Killjoykarl10@reddit
Dave Collier think so too
Knight_thrasher@reddit
I heard that No Scrubs was written about him as well
EvergreenHulk@reddit
Also Short Dick Man.
thisisstephen@reddit
Also Nine Inch Nails’ Closer
AsparagusOverall8454@reddit
Really? Holy heck. Man had such a shitty reputation that popular songs were built on.
Emergency_Rush_4168@reddit
I actually can't listen tot his song without breaking down into tears. I'm a grown ass man and I fucking weap lololol.
playfulwarning@reddit
One of my favorites is Princes Familiar and I never hear anyone ever mention it!
lnc_5103@reddit
This is mine too. We got to see her live a few years ago and she was incredible.
adamcmorrison@reddit
I always thought ironic was her most popular song?
VampireOnHoyt@reddit
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written - about someone experiencing the difference between being used and being loved.
_____AMOK_____@reddit
Rest. Hands down
StickyMcdoodle@reddit
This is a petty me thing, but changing the figure of speech from "head over heels" to "head over feet" for the ryhme always bothered me too much enjoy what a good song it actually is.
puppiesbooksandmocha@reddit
Great one
