In The Year 2002

2002 was a big year for me. It was the year I threw on a pair of chucks, my lock and chain, and went to my first Warped Tour. It was the year I first started going to concerts on a regular basis, the year I got my first electric guitar, and most importantly, the year I became a ~punk~.

So who better to represent this very serious transition that the great Canadian Philosopher, Avril Lavigne?

Song of the Year:
Avril Lavigne - Complicated

DL: Avril Lavigne - Complicated

Honourable Mentions:

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles
- This song I really only notable for me because I used to get really mad when people would confused her with Michelle Branch.
Nelly feat. Kelly Rowland - Dilemma
Sheryl Crow - Soak Up The Sun
- Kristine chose this because she couldn’t remember what year “The First Cut Is The Deepest” happened.
Eve Feat. Alicia Keys - Gangsta Lovin'
- Don’t you guys love it when Alicia tries to act so hard?
Fat Joe feat. Ashanti - What's Love
- The early 2000s were all about Ashanti collabos. We wanted to switch it up and pick one that didn’t feature Ja Rule.
Mary J. Blige - No More Drama
- Don’t even try to act like you didn’t cry in your room to this on your discman when you had a bad day.
Michelle Branch - Goodbye To You
- I should make it clear that my aforementioned rage at confusing her with Vanessa Carlton was because Michelle Branch was infinitely better.
Celine Dion - A New Day Has Come
- We’re Canadian. How could we not show Celine some love?
Eminem - Cleaning Out My Closet
Usher - You Don't Have To Call
Leanne Rhimes - Can't Fight The Moonlight
- Two Words: Coyote Ugly
P. Diddy - I Need A Girl (Part I)
Craig David - Seven Days
Cher - Song For The Lonely
Simple Plan - I'd Do Anything
- What? I told you I was a ~punk~
