there are four official albums; exile in guyville which is her raunchiest, straight-forward alternative style, Juvenilia, which was a smaller release - and a little trickier to get a hold of an original - which also has a lot of her stuff from the girlysound demos, which again is the rougher sound. She also made whipsmart, which some say is her worst album because it is more mainstream than exile. I say that it's easy to be more mainstream anyway, and the lyrics and musicality of whipsmart are beautiful. Even if it is somewhat more pop, it's nowhere near most of the crap top 40 produces. Finally there's whitechocolatespaceegg. Even more people complained that she got too pop-py with this one, but I know lots of people that say this is their favourite Liz Phair album. And I think her lyrics got more and more sophisticated and beautiful with each album, so I don't find wcse a sell-out at all. Anyway, there are also a bunch of bootlegs, most notably girlysounds and rarities, which have a lot of songs off of all 4 of her official releases. The lyrics have changed in a bunch, and most of them are just her and her guitar. I think it's best to save these til after you've gotten into the other ones, so you appreciate these more. Hope that helps

I think whipsmart is the best album. It combines the best qualities of wcse and exile.
