Ok, a lot of these songs so far I more or less agree with, or at least understand their low rating. But can someone explain to me how LMI is supposed to be worse than "Get Over Me" AND "Hello Kitty"? I'm not saying LMI is great by any means, but it truly has some interesting instrumentation imo (an upright bass and some pretty cool percussion). I really don't get the dislike this song receives. I also wish "Goddess" had gotten a much higher rating. I didn't expect it to be very high, but also really didn't expect it to be this low. It's actually still one of my favourite songs of Avril's. Yes, the "pyjama" line is cringey, but the vocals, the instrumentation, and the overall arrangement are pure gold. Justice for "Goddess"! I'm surprised to see "What Child Is This" so low in the ranking, too, it's amazing imo, some of Avril's best vocals to date. I am glad to see some of my absolutely least favourite songs here, though, haha. Mainly "That Kinda Guy", "Right Where I'm Supposed To Be", and the aforementioned "Get Over Me". I couldn't find anything positive in any of those songs. I'm glad TKG got scrapped. I'm glad I tend to forget RWISTB even exists, lol. And I wish I could forget GOM exists, because while the other two songs are just downright bad, this one I actually hate. Agree re Goddess! It’s a sweet song. I can think of SO many worse lol.

Love Me Insane? Oh no That song grow on me so much with Crush & TMIO. Which is pretty weird cause I'm not into this kind of music at all. Why do people hate it so much?

I'm surprised about Flames and about WaW. I expected to see them higher. I'm pretty sure Think about it (139) is in my top 50.

The strings are maybe nice but well, I skip that one mostly. And I love TMIO while I don’t like Crush that much but they are a bit similar so I don’t know why I love one and the other one not.. maybe the lyrics. I still can’t say what my fave album is since it was HAW but Love Sux is like equal. I can’t decide. I think it’s like this now but sometimes the order of AL, LG and UMS changes a bit. 1. HAW or Love Sux 2. HAW or Love Sux 3. Goodbye Lullaby 4. AL 5. Let Go 6. UMS 7. TBDT

I'm sad I wasn't able to participate in time! However, I'm very surprised with the results of all the album and song placements, as they're exactly how I would have voted for them! I agree with all the rankings and idk I guess I'm just pleasantly pleased/surprised that others (let alone many others!) have a similar taste as I do! And super glad her newest album was really this good .

I like that in Avril's albums there is enough variety for everyone's taste. I think in Love Sux the same thing happens with the songs. Not counting Avalanche, which seems to be clearly the fan favorite the others song are similar chosen (I'm very curious about the top 100). I also feel that TBDT and LS are similar (and I like them both), but in your case it is obviously not like that. My TBDT favourite songs are I Can Do Better and Everything Back But You, which I believe fit well also in LS. HAW is a very good underrated album, have a great songs.

I would say all songs are still ranked pretty high. I give LMI, Hello Kitty etc. a maximum of 2 points, so I'm surprised people actually like these songs...?

Wow, justice for Bois Lie and All I Wanted. They should be so much higher Still, I'm also surprised by how these lowest-ranked songs still have decent scores. I remember giving tons of 5s and a few 2 and 3s.

I think we have to keep in mind that only her most diehard fans are even aware of this poll. It doesn't surprise me that many of us would not be too harsh on even our least favorite titles from her. For example, there is a version of 'Dumb Blond' that isn't in the poll. It's the "adult" version that I would give a solid 9 or maybe even a soft 10. The fact one version features Nicki Minaj would not cause me to rate it as awful, just because I don't have any appreciation for rap as an art form. There's no way that version would get a 9 or a 10 from me, but I wouldn't rate it lower than a 6 just because there is a relatively small part I don't care for. Music fanatics like me can be very passionate about the songs we love. I just don't have any room for hatred in my heart regarding music I don't happen to enjoy. "There's no accounting for taste." "To each his own." "Different strokes for different folks."

Lol at "Souvenir" only just managing the top 100. Never liked this song much. I don't hate it by any means, it's just "meh" to me, weirdly edited, and I think it totally deserves this ranking (though an average of 7.11 is still very high).
I'm shocked to see quite a couple of LS songs already. I do agree with the their average ratings of around 7/10, yet it feels weird to have some of them outside the top 60.
I think "Bright" is quite overrated. Personally, I don't like this song at all and I'm glad it got scrapped. It's super repetitive, very generic, and doesn't even sound like an Avril song imo. I would've placed this way lower.
As every year, I would've loved to see IDHTT at least in the top 50. It's such a banger. And "Darlin" will forever be a super underrated masterpiece. It's one of my absolute favourite songs and has been since its release. Easily top 10 worthy imo.

Regarding the way we fans rate Avril's songs: Personally, there are a few songs by Avril (really just a handful) that I passionately hate, or at least very much dislike. I have no problem rating those songs between 1 and 3 out of 10. It's kinda fun tbh. But mostly, I feel like I also tend to go easy on a lot of songs, especially ones that I don't much care about or that simply aren't my cup of tea. For example, all those country songs from pre-LG - "Touch The Sky", "Two Rivers" etc. - they're really, really not something I'd choose to listen to. And yet I can appreciate that they're good songs within the country genre. I can't rate them worse than 5/10. It just wouldn't be fair, because they're not bad, they're just not for me.

All I Wanted "debuted" very low, I'm slightly disappointed in that.. :/ From the older songs, I just recently kind of started 'digging' Goodbye, it's a lovely little piece, even if a bit unelaborated. I mean, it's the gentlest of break-up songs, and with its sad context, it has quite a bittersweet aura to it.. so it's kind of a shame it plunged so hard on this poll.
