That's because those are the songs that made the Canadian singer into the household name she is today. But it turns out, Morissette has come a long way since recording her first demo. According to Britannica, she used the money she earned from an acting gig on Nickelodeon's "You Can't Do That on Television" to cut her first single, which not only led to a song publishing deal but two back-to-back albums, "Alanis" (1991) and "Now Is the Time" (1992). Her first album even earned her a Juno Award.

The rest, as they say, is history, because the star went on to release "Jagged Little Pill" in 1995, which catapulted her to stardom and made her an international superstar.
