The Best Damn Thing era. A few Avril fans I was close too left when that album came out that I used to talk too during 2002-06 and I was close to a few and ill never forget them but they all left after that album and I lost contact in 2007, start of that era. So hands down, tbdt era.

KEEP THEM ALL since they all have their charm and if we would erase one era we would have less songs and that's a big no for me

Cool beans to see that 'Keep Them All' has pulled in front of getting rid of AL in the voting! Really interesting results so far, keep them coming!
I'm a little surprised to see that no one has voted to ditch HAW yet as it seems to get little love when it's talked about on the Forum. HAW and GL are probably my two fave Avril albums.
No surprise that Let Go and Under My Skin remain unassailable, they are the foundation stones that Avril built her entire career on.

Maybe the topic is a little bit distorted because of the "keep them all" option (in my opinion). Of course, I wouldn't "erase" any era/album because that means less songs from Avril. But what it could have been better is another album (with another sound in many cases) instead of the "erased" ones. That's what I mean by "erasing" some records (GL, AL and HAW). Of course better to have all of them than nothing.

I like all her albums but I can easily remove Head Above Water for being so dull and boring.The self titled era was good for me.It shows how diverse she can be and also her LIVE performances were amazing in terms of vocals.

If I had to pick an album to erase it would probably be HAW... You can really tell there was no clear vision for the album. You can categorise the tracks into either being: Light Evanescence (HAW, Birdie, FILWTD, Warrior), Pop-Jazz (TMIO, Crush, LMI) or Chill-Pop (IWIM, Souvenir, Bigger Wow, Goddess). The leaked tracks show the chill-pop route the album was really meant to be - which in a way would have made for a more cohesive listen. I feel like this album had potential to be something the fans wanted, but the rockier elements were really toned down, like on Birdie and FILWTD. Whilst a lot of people dislike AL, I absolutely love it for its carefree and somewhat bonkers attitude.

I’d argue AL had even less direction than HAW though? At least HAW had a strong purpose with it being her first album post-Lyme and the front half + Warrior really represents that, even if it falls off mid-way. There is no direction or vision for AL, or clear theme/message.
I find it interesting how many are answering simply based on which album they just don’t like. GL is probably my least favorite of her albums but I think it still adds value to her discography in many ways that I would not erase it.

I'm so glad that people continue to vote and contribute to this thread. Thanks everyone!
I still think 'Keep Them All' is a valid choice if you truly believe that every single album/era has been absolutely essential to moving Avril's career forward in some way and not just kept her treading water so to speak. If anything, after a strong start Avril did flounder a bit in the middle artistically but seems to be on more solid footing now. I think the issue (for me) is whether Avril can get any momentum and have AL8 be an EVOLUTION of LS and not a repetition. If that happens I'll reconsider making Love Sux the album I'd erase from the timeline! I'm still undecided if it will ultimately be good or not for her creatively. Name one song from LS people are going to remember in five years? In ten? In twenty?

What The Hell and Wish You Were Here from Goodbye Lullaby,Rock N Roll,Here's To Never Growing and Hello Kitty(even though I hate it) from Avril Lavigne,Head Above Water from Head Above Water and Bite Me from Love Sux.

I know AL is a bit of a mess and has some questionable songs on it, and the era as a whole was weird as fuck, but I wouldn’t erase it because we did actually get some really good songs And the bearshark

The whole Avril Lavigne era was a disgrace: the album, the interviews, the tour.
I'd definetly make some significant changes on Goodbye Lullaby and Head Above Water too. These two albums have an amazing part and the other one seems unfinished and completed with "filler" tracks. I'd turn the 2nd part of GL and the first 4 tracks of HAW into an EP. By the way that would be a great "album".
