There has been a lot of discussion as to whether or not Liz Phair is doing the right thing. Although I am not a huge fan of top 40, and prefer her earlier recordings (and yes I have listend to/own them ALL) I still respect her right to choose her path. This does not mean we have to follow it. If she chooses to go a route that we do not agree with (ie following avril) we can either follow her or not. I do not think we can judge her. We merely have to stop buying her albums. Is this not how an audience votes? Stop complaining and either buy or not buy her albums. We can't condemn her for changing her music. But we can choose to listen to it or not. I will probably buy her new album, hate it and not buy another. But I won't blame HER for that. I just won't buy her next one. But I WILL keep listening to Exile, and Juvenilia and WCSE and all the bootlegs. That is what I like. She doesn't have to reproduce those albums, just for me (or us). She doesn't OWE us anything. Neither do we OWE her buying her next (probably crappy) albums.
