Description: Although Exile in Guyville was celebrated as one of the year's top records by Spin and the New York Times it was also to some an abomination: a mockery of the Rolling Stones most revered record and a rare glimpse into the psyche of a shrewd independent strong young woman. For these crimes Liz Phair was run out of her hometown of Chicago enduring a flame war perpetrated by writers who accused her of being boring inauthentic and even a poor musician. With Exile in Guyville Phair spoke for all the girls who loved the world of indie rock but felt deeply unwelcome there. Like all great works of art Exile was a harbinger of the shape of things to come: Phair may have undermined the male ego but she also unleashed a new female one. For the sake of all the female artists who have benefited from her work from Sleater - Kinney to Lana Del Rey and back again it's high time we go back to Guyville.
