Pussy Whipped is the first full-length album by the American punk rock band Bikini Kill. It was released on Kill Rock Stars on October 26, 1993. It is their most commercially successful album, peaking at number 20 on the UK Independent Singles and Albums Charts.
David Browne of Entertainment Weekly called Pussy Whipped "the first great riot-grrrl album". The Guardian wrote that "Hanna is so enraged that words to fetching tunes like 'Hamster Baby' and 'Star-Bellied Boy' are transmuted to wild shrieks."
Heather Phares of AllMusic said, "'Rebel Girl' is a manifesto just waiting to be discovered, and the rest of the album sees the band occasionally adding fun to their recipe for punk chaos." In 2015, Spin placed Pussy Whipped at number 222 on its list of the "300 Best Albums of the Past 30 Years". In 2016, Pitchfork placed it at number 10 on its list of the "50 Best Indie Rock Albums of the Pacific Northwest". Rolling Stone included "Rebel Girl" on its list of the "Most Excellent Songs of Every Year Since 1967", a playlist assembled by the magazine in 2006 to celebrate its 1,000th issue (The version of "Rebel Girl" included here differs from the Joan JettâÂÂproduced single version).
