She was one of many tender-aged smart-popsters who came up in the early 2000s, a group that included Michelle Branch, Norah Jones and Vanessa Carlton. She first hit with the acousti-groove of "Complicated," but it was the charging alt-rock of second single "Sk8er Boi" that showcased the range of Lavigne's impressive talents. She released her second album, <I>Under My Skin</I>, in 2004, expanding upon her catalogue of sharp, smart radio tunes and leaving the teenager thing behind. After marrying Sum 41's Deryck Whibley in 2006 in a storybook wedding wherein Lavigne shocked Hot Topic shoppers and sk8er kids everywhere by rocking the big, white dress, she released her third album. 2007's <I>The Best Damn Thing</I> collected more mature ballads and some of her poppiest material yet. - Mike McGuirkAdult Alternativeen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:09:18 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40279&rws=%2Favril-lavigne%2Fmusic-videos.rss Avril Lavigne first appeared as a spunky teenager crafting surprisingly sharp alternative pop-rock that sounded great on the radio and fit very well in your CaseLogic (right between that Alanis Morissette stuff you'd gotten a little sick of and the Fiona Apple album you held so dear).
