I don't know how much airplay it got, but that is a powerful, Velvety document. I'd also include Bettie Serveert's "Palomine," PJ Harvey's "Rid of Me" (or "Dry," for that matter), the Muffs first couple of records, and Maria McKee's "You Gotta Sin To Get Saved" as among my favorite estrogen-induced moments of the 90's. I don't know if any of these are better than "Guyville"--that kinda depends on the mood I'm in--but they sure moved my loins this decade past. I would also aim a couple of nods towards the Fastbacks, the Breeders "Pod" album (just for tackling "Happiness is a Warm Gun"), and L7, for the song, "Shove." And if I'm not mistaken, none of these albums (or songs)--cumulatively--gained a sliver of the airplay that Mrs. ex-Cobain received for her overrated-then-and-overrated-now, Live Through This.
