Liz Phair

No indie rock songwriter tackled sexual politics from the female perspective as skillfully as Liz Phair. Born in new Haven, Connecticut, and raised in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, Illinois, Phair's throaty vocals and lusty songs landed her a deal with Matador Records. Her debut album, Exile in Guyville (the title itself a playful spin on the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street), explored female sexuality on songs such as "Fuck and Run" and "Flower." Following the success of her debut, Phair released Whip-Smart (1994), which contained the modest hit "Supernova." After taking time off to get married and give birth to a son, Phair released her third album, whitechocolatespaceegg, in 1998. Her long-awaited, self-titled fourth album release (2003) sold well, however, its decidedly pop sound confounded critics and longtime fans.
