I wish I could understand why she catapulted into alternative music fame. Don't get her.

Strangely I completely agree with both the people who can't stand her music, and with the ones who quite enjoy it. Either way, I saw her in concert and enjoyed it at the time. However, even an hour after the show, I felt like it didn't really leave much of an impression. Hmm.

All the effort just doesn't add up to music, let alone funk....  |

I was a huge Ani fan in the 90s, and she started really disappointing me from Little Plastic Castles on. So much lame horn. I don't like to begrudge an artist her evolution, but I do selfishly wish she would get back to her roots.

I'm feeling a Curtis Mayfield vibe in Ani's voice

All of the negative comments for someone who told the music industry to shove it about 20 years ago, is highly talented and a great live show.

Not too bad for Ani, whom I usually loathe.

You cannot deny the funk.
Besides being a sick songwriter and guitar player, Ms. D. surely does work herself into some rare grooves.

I mean she sounds like she's having fun, but pigs rolling around in the mud are having fun, and they make cute squeally noises too. I'm going to check out some of her lyrics, and I expect to find a lot of trumped up bogus pseudo controversial crap to cover up the glaring lack of musical ability.
I think this is the best summary of Ani DiFranco's music I've ever read. |

Sounds like someone hasn't evolved very far in his or her appreciation of jazz, which really this song is IMO. |

Anyone get the feeling Excelsior is very young, 13 maybe?
Ah no, I see a twenty something with that generation's case of arrested development. |
