POLL: Hottest 90's alt music girls!

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Always love a little nostalgia on a Friday! Thought about this while buying up a bunch of 90's music on iTunes this morning. Was at Penn State from 93-97, and music was a big part of my life then. I remember going to Blue Train Records for midnight launches and walking campus with my discman. Anyway, I loved a lot of 90's female performers and was mostly into alternative then. These are the girls I remember most (and make me wonder what the hell is going on with today's music - wow I'm old.). Write in's welcome!

*Note: Pics are from height of popularity. * - indicates more recent picture.

Who's the Hottest?

1. Courtney Love - Hole

2. Fiona Apple

3. Carrie Brownstein - Sleater-Kinney*

4. Liz Phair

5. Shirley Manson - Garbage

6. Gwen Stefani - No Doubt

7. Kim Deal - Breeders/Pixies

Anyone who votes for Courtney Love should be banned from

all future polls. While her music and acting are debatable, she is a hot mess from a physical beauty standpoint.

Crap. Knew I shouldn't have used that pic of Liz Phair....*

JMO but her Music and acting are a hot mess as well.
Just ask Dave Grohl.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

LOL. There was a time when I was really into her...

This was the post-Kurt suicide when she cleaned up a bit and made (what I think is a pretty great rock album) 'Celebrity Skin'. And, she looked pretty good IMO well into the 00's. I listened to her host a '90's alt rock' show on Sirius XM last year and she has dirt on just about everyone from that era - really interesting to listen to her talk about it. But, for the most part, she's a pretty hot mess though that was the image she was pushing then.

From 2007:

By far the sexiest picture of the bunch. Some may already have

an alternate favorite in mind, but not many will look at those photos and pick other than Liz Phair.

 

[RobBliz]

This poll was great. You could also have a follow up poll. Same girls, but use current photos. Who hit the wall hardest? Courtney Love would win that in a landslide i am guessing.

Good point about Celebrity Skin.
That would have been an interesting show to listen to.

Unfortunately, my favorite from that era, Fiona Apple, has regressed furthest IMO.

Courtney Love did way too much damage to herself in the 90's. She's not as bad as you would think though.

Fiona Now

You can go ahead and flag me, but how can you exclude Tanya Donelly from Belly? She even played spring week at PSU during the 90's.

 

[Still in State College]

I always had a little soft spot for Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries. It was mostly voice related, but not bad.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Will pick up the flag....

She was also in The Breeders....

Who would I boot for her?

Unfortunately, my favorite from that era, Fiona Apple, has regressed furthest IMO.

Courtney Love did way too much damage to herself in the 90's. She's not as bad as you would think though.

Courtney Now (with daughter Frances)

Wow Fiona is bad. She aged worst than a 47 year old accountant... Actually, maybe that works in my faveor and I could actually get her.

 

[Lionguy32]

Re: Will pick up the flag....

I would easily boot Courtney Love, PJ Harvey or Carrie Brownstein.

If I had a little more time, I would try to dig up the publicity shot they used for Spring Week. From what I remember, it was much more flattering than this one.

I tried finding the best pic of her I could; that was it (IMO). Brownstein wasn't really that hot back in the day, but she looks great now IMO.

Brownstein now:

Tanya Donelly now:

 

[m.knox]

Wow, hard choice.....

Haven't picked one yet, but Liz Phair looks pretty damn good.

 

[WestSideLion]

I'd argue that Liz is by far the best musician of the bunch*

She probably should be on there in lieu of Love or Harvey. Or Apple if we're sticking to more alt rock girls. Anyway, here ya go:

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Hm. Apple is far and away the best songwriter IMO.

Originally posted by WestSideLion:

And she's a competent pianist and composer. I don't know that she's better or worse than Phair, but the short list IMO would be Phair, Apple, Brownstein, Harvey, and Jewel.

 

[wbcincy]

It's just impossible to separate 90s C-Love from what we've seen since

I always had a thing for Jewel, despite those jacked up teeth. Always kind of associated her as more pop than alt, though I never really gave it any thought.

Anyway, her intuition video was her peak hotness IMO.


See for yourself

 

[wbcincy]

Re: LOL. There was a time when I was really into her...

This was the post-Kurt suicide when she cleaned up a bit and made (what I think is a pretty great rock album) 'Celebrity Skin'. And, she looked pretty good IMO well into the 00's. I listened to her host a '90's alt rock' show on Sirius XM last year and she has dirt on just about everyone from that era - really interesting to listen to her talk about it. But, for the most part, she's a pretty hot mess though that was the image she was pushing then.

From 2007:

Yeah I mean, I don't think any of us were kicking her out of bed circa "People VS Larry Flynt", but there's been some nasty pics of her in the meantime.

 

[throw2oj]

nah, Harvey

ever seen her live? amazing.

Oh god - Intuition; Jewel's pure pop effort that was catchy and yeah, best video she ever did.

'Nighter, a note about Celebrity Skin

Word on the street was that Billy Corgan wrote quite a bit more on that album than what he was credited.*

*I'm sure that Google &/or Wikipedia would be my friend on this were I so inclined

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

I'd pick Dolores O'Riordan if she was on the list. Also forgot to list Sarah McLachlan...she'd be ahead of most of the list. That said, with the choices provided, I'd go with Gwen, Jewell, and Fiona as my top 3 (based on how they looked in the 90's).

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

I heard that too. At least Love has acknowledged his influence...

though my guess is his contributions were significant. 'Celebrity Skin' (the song) is exactly the kind of tight, hard rock song you would expect from Smashing Pumpkins both lyrically (structure) and musically.

What [Billy's] great at for me- what he did for me has nothing to do with Eric and Melissa. It has to do with me. I was in a rut, I could not even get out of bed. I didn't want to make this record, I didn't want do anything. I was dull, my blade was not sharp, and he's probably one of the only people on the planet that can challenge me. My craft was at this place and Eric and Melissa and Patty couldn't help me; they all have brilliance and craft, but because I'm in a band within a family context with them, they weren't outsiders enough to really just help me.

 

[Zenophile]

FANTASTIC list.

Couple o' names that occurred to me as potential second teamers (in no particular order):

- Juliana Hatfield
- Tanya Donelley
- Kay Hanley (who IIRC is very little)
- D'Arcy (Wretzky)

 

[LionFan87b]

Where's Juliana Hatfield?*

Was thinking of Kay Hanley after I submitted the poll. Probably could throw in Lisa Loeb too. Now, to picking up your flags...


Juliana Hatfield

Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo)

D'arcy (Smashing Pumpkins)

 

[Zenophile]

You're a good man.


Least I can do is return the favor.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Awesome. She's held up quite well.

And her reality show a few years ago wasn't too bad either...

 

[WestSideLion]

Liz's "Exile In Guyville" is one of the great albums of the last 30 years..

I don't think Fiona can make that kind of claim.

 

[Monty2007]

Man am I getting old, ugh!

Poor Polly Jean...

She could really bring it, when she wanted.

Interesting...another great choice...

PJ and Liz both have albums on Rolling Stone's Top 500 of all time. PJ at around #405 and #435, and Liz at around #328.

I'd still put Apple's songwriting prowess up against Phair or anyone else writing songs these days or in the last 30 years. She writes like Leonard Cohen. And Apple's most recent release is maybe her best, most raw effort to date. I don't know that any of her records are as groundbreaking as Guyville, but I definitely listen to Apple much more than her, and have for two decades. Different strokes and all.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

For sure. Great gams.

And great sound.

 

[LionFan87b]

Agreed! There's nothing like it.*
