[RESULTS]The Ultimate Avril Lavigne Song Rating 2018

Darlin' should definitely be higher. I think it's my favorite from GL and one of my all-time favorites from her. She wrote it herself and I think it's especially interesting she wrote it when she was 15, before she had a record deal, and so it's really cool to hear a song she wrote from before she was famous. I know she wanted it for an album for a long time but never had the chance, so it was good that she finally was able to release it and it was the perfect album for it. The lyrics are really strong and her voice sounds great. I never understood why she never performed this live, such a shame.

Freak Out is one of my top favorites from UMS and I wish the album had more songs like this to kind of balance out that dark, moody, depressing vibe. The intro is one of her best riffs ever. Yeah the lyrics are nothing special, but neither are most of the songs from UMS? I also like that Matt and Evan helped write this, which I always thought meant she probably wrote it while on tour and it's really cool to think about Let Go era Avril writing this while on tour and just having fun one night with her band coming up with the riffs.

Breakaway - There is a reason she gave this away. Her demo is just... ok. I mean she sounds very young on it, that's why she sounds "strange." She also doesn't sound super into singing it which is why she gave it away. It was cool to hear her version after so many years, but the song was really better off in Kelly's hands. It doesn't help that all we have of Avril's version is a demo.

KOHD - I never liked her cover of this much. It's sounds so dark and depressing, which I guess is kind of the point of the song, but even the original doesn't sound as depressing as this. I preferred the version she did at Roxy where the key was brought up a little and she sounded less depressed singing it.

Get Over It - I find this to be one of the most overrated B-sides. It would never have fit in on LG at all. It's ok, but I don't think it's as good as people say.

WLYG - I always really liked this one. I haven't listened to it in a long time though.

LMG - Yeah I'm not crazy about Chad's verse onwards, but one thing that does make up for this kind of lackluster Nickleback reject is the outro. Like the "Don't let me go, won't let you go" part and the piano parts are so haunting. They should have tried to make a whole song based on that or make it like an interlude kind of thing.

Adia - This has always been one of her best covers. FYI she didn't just sing this at Roxy, there is an actual studio recording of this cover if you didn't know

HDIF - This is my least favorite track from UMS and probably my least favorite song she's ever done. I agree with emerald, I just think it's so damn boring. Bad lyrics. Repetitive. Terribly overrated.

Naked - Underrated. Very late '90s inspired sound that suits LG so well. It's a really nice track IMO.
