Who won the Best Rock Album Grammy in 1996 for "Jagged Little Pill"?

Alanis Morissette won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album for Jagged Little Pill. The award recognized the album’s powerful blend of alternative rock, pop-rock, and intensely personal songwriting.

Released in 1995, Jagged Little Pill became Morissette’s international breakthrough after she moved away from her earlier dance-pop career in Canada. Songs such as “You Oughta Know,” “Hand in My Pocket,” “Ironic,” and “You Learn” helped make the album one of the defining releases of the mid-1990s.

At the 38th Grammy Awards in 1996, Morissette also won Album of the Year, Best Rock Song, and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. A common mix-up is confusing the album award with “You Oughta Know,” which won song-related honors but was not the album itself. Jagged Little Pill went on to sell tens of millions of copies worldwide and remains Morissette’s signature recording.
