Which Avril Album/Era Would You Erase?

Interesting choice! And while I won't debate it I will say that in comparison to my choice (LS) AL has (IMO) at least four tracks (Give You What You Like, Hello Heartache, Falling Fast, Hush Hush) that have a chance of being regarded as solid (and somewhat 'deep') songs in years to come and not just toe-tapping filler, which to my mind, is 80% of the songs on Love Sux.

I still think LS is in the top third of Avril's output it just doesn't stay with you after the last track is over. And the leaked songs to my understanding are all about the same quality as well. I think that's why Avalanche does stand out compared to the rest of the album.

Goodbye Lullaby. Such a bland era. Bland album, bland songs, bland tour. If I never heard any of the songs from GL again I really would not care.

Thanks to everyone who has voted and shared their thoughts so far! It seems like most of us could do without Avril Lavigne's 'Avril Lavigne' but there is a little more variety on which era people would want to jettison at this point.

If I had a second pick I would have to say that The Best Damn Thing is another record I could do without although I don't know enough about the era & related tours to comment on that aspect. I just think TBDT is a tremendously overrated AL effort. I know it had Avril's last big US hit with 'Girlfriend' but that is a song and video I have absolutely despised since day one. It also gave us her iconic phrase of being 'the motherfucking princess' but that wouldn't be enough to prevent me from banishing it to the dustbins of history.

If you haven't voted yet, please do so. It's anonymous so Avril doesn't have to know what you really think of her! Promise.

What about Not Enough and Darlin? IMO those are two of the very few truly standout tracks from an otherwise underwhelming and weakly written/produced album.

None,every Album has it's reason I would erase the label issues so we could get their real versions. I think she should re-release GL and AL with the original tracks and concepts.

I don't think I would erase any era. If anything, I think she learned from her misses and mistakes and used them to improve in the future. If we hadn't had such a dreadful era in the AL album cycle, she probably wouldn't have fixed those problems in the eras that followed. I think it's safe to say that was by far the worst era of all: terrible management, terrible label, all-over-the-place album with no direction whatsoever and mediocre production, cero energy from her from interviews, to promo, to touring (before lyme), really bad press for her with the HK music video and meet and greets, among other things related to her relationship with Chad. But again, I think all of this mess helped her avoid them in the future and improve in every aspect of her career.

PS: Who on earth voted for Love Sux? lmao.
