In 1993, no rock record was as divisive as Liz Phair\u2019s Exile in Guyville<\/em>. With her 18-song double-LP debut, Phair pried the lid off her life and sang away secrets. Even though it landed right at the apex of the cultural moment for \u201cWomen in Rock\u201d and riot grrrl, Phair was something else. Her feminism was not wrapped up in dogmatic choruses, her rage was articulated in quiet disses tangled up in sublime indie-pop. Guyville <\/em>was all guile and jangle. Phair dispensed with the innuendo and explained exactly, and explicitly, what she was game for. \u201cFlower\u201d includes these lines: \u201cI want to fuck you like a dog \/ Take you home and make you like it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more novel and exciting was the fact that Guyville<\/em> was, in both form and concept, a rookie\u2019s rogue retort to classic rock: Phair conceived it as a track-by-track response to one of the pinnacles of swaggering musical masculinity, the Rolling Stones\u2019 Exile On Main St.<\/em> Combined with its literate pop craft, untethered libido, and utter confidence, Guyville<\/em> was about the most glorious, girly Fuck You ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
