Alanis Morissette is one of those strange creatures that the music industry could probably live without -- but we'd really be missing something. Jagged Little Pill, her signature album, was released in 1995 and remains the best-selling debut album by a female artist ever. (She'd actually previously recorded two dance-pop albums as a teenager in Canada, but apparently we've glossed over that bit of history.) Her unique twang led her through four more albums, seven Grammys, and 16 Juno Awards (basically Canadian Grammys). She also portrayed God in 1999's Dogma, and as Morgan Freeman can tell you, once you've played God, you never go back.
A note on the video: The two-minute intro drags a bit if you're not on some kind of hallucinogenic, so feel free to skip it. Also check out YouTube user ricardodinissantos for 12 other songs from this show, as well as dozens more live Alanis videos. He's quite thorough.
