The warrior tracks and goodbye are way too high up imo.

Yeah I don’t get Goodbye. The way she talked about it before the album I thought it was gonna be SO emotional but it’s so dull. As far as the divorce tracks go, Remember When is so much better.

I can appreciate that she wrote and produced Goodbye on her own as well as played the piano on it, but lyrically it’s one of her weakest songs. Definitely ranked too high.

I'm a little sad to see so many of my favourites drop like this, and/or once again not even reach the top 50. Adia, How Does It Feel, Alone, Nobody's Fool, Knockin' On Heaven's Door - they all deserve much better. But especially Darlin and Get Over It being so low is just an absolute mystery to me. How? Those are top 10 worthy, damn it! And, as always, I am surprised to see I Love You in the top 60. I find this song to be so bland and cheesy and flatly produced; how can this be better than Darlin? I find it pretty hard to rate Avril's music videos, at least up until GL era. The videos from LG to TBDT eras are pretty much all 10/10. I still would've put He Wasn't much higher; it's probably in my personal top 3.

Wow, such a push for old songs like Forgotten and Naked.
I really dont get why the video for WTH is ranked so high. It's so boring and just full of advertising for her stuff...
Also: Everyone please re-watch the video for He Wasnt and understand that it is GREAT!

It's my favorite music video, of all time. When I watch it, I have to watch it at least four times, because three is not enough.

I’d put the DTM and HW videos in her top 5 tbh.
WTH, R&R and How You Remind Me being in the top 30 (well, 31) is..a choice. TMIO deserves a lot higher.

I really like the solo version of DB. IAGWIW, IDHTT and 4 Real are 3 of her worst songs imo, glad they’re quite low! I just asked our new google nest thing to play Avril Lavigne and the first song it picked was 4 Real and I think it’s trolling me after this post

Whoa! Half of AL is in the top 50?! That kinda surprises me. Imo, Rock N Roll and HTNGU are such generic pop songs with too much autotune and rather bad production. Hush Hush and Falling Fast are okay, but kinda cheesy. Hello Heartache is ruined by Avril's weird accent. Let Me Go is fine, but it just doesn't sound like an Avril song to me, more like a Nickelback leftover. I also think WTH is way too high up. Sure, it's fun, but in the end, it's like RnR and HTNGU, just a generic pop song with bland production. I never liked Avril's version of Breakaway. I'm generally not a fan of these kinds of autobiographic songs, but Avril's version sounds rather lackluster, at least compared to Kelly's. However, I do like seeing He Wasn't, Not Enough, TMIO, Anything But Ordinary, How You Remind Me, Naked, and especially Hot getting some love. As for music videos, once again, I don't really understand how HTNGU, WTH, RnR, and Smile can be this high up in the ranking. They're fine, but Avril has better music videos (e.g. He Wasn't and TBDT that actually manage to not have such cringey product placement).

Generally, I think we as fans are too nice to her when it comes to these rankings. We all love her music but is it really realistic that UMS is almost a 10 or that self-titled, even after it got trashed for years by the fandom, is a rounded-up 8? Even Hello Kitty (which is an iconic song and will be remembered for centuries as one of humanity's greatest discoveries), the song is despised by a big amount of the fandom but yet it's still somehow almost a 7/10 (I gave it a ten because it pushed boundaries and was basically the first and only time Avril went left field with a song). When you read Bandaids, comments by her Twitter fans or any social media, you would think that Avril should be happy if the song gets more than a 2.0. It's hard to get a realistic ranking when most of her fans rank like this: 10: flawless, 9: not as good but good, 8: mediocre, 7: bad, 6: a b-side. Avril has songs that are 1s, 2s... Her fans don't vote like that out of respect but no one cares about this other than us, so why not just be... (4)real? At the end of the day it just a fun ranking, it's not like we will use this in real life. Friend X: To me Fall to Pieces is Avril's best song. Me: Yeah but your favorite should be Innocence as it's my favorite song and it was higher in the fans' ranking.

Yeah fans are way too nice in the poll compared to bandaids threads. But this survey was posted on social media. There she often gets more love. I say change the ranking to 5 but I bet people will still give high scores.
TINS should be top 20. HIGH up in the top 20. I ignored this song for years but it's honestly one of her best.
HW and TBDT MV I love. They are fun and I love band scenes pre- GL. Band scenes after that are too forced like no way your playing guitar this song doesn't even rock.

I actually like the WTH mv. I am not really good in rating music videos but I find myself enjoying the one for WTH. Smile is one of my favorite songs and probably because of that I enjoy the music video more than I should. xD Hush Hush is my favorite song on Avril Lavigne tho.. but I only listen to it on cold days since it fits that mood very well. As for the songs on UMS or LG, I really rarely listen to them but I don’t think they are bad. I just need the right mood to listen to them. TBDT on the other hand is amazing whenever I listen to it.
