Yet another 17-year-old with a record contract. But believe it or not, this one actually has a voice of her own. Avril Lavigne is a punk rocker. She writes her own songs, plays guitar, and would rather jump around stage and skateboard with the boys than bounce her way through choreographed dance moves and sell Pepsi. She has a pop-punk sound that's been heavily polished in places to make her sound more like her choreographed contemporaries, but the rough punk rawk sound wins out and it's glorious.
