2000's Guilt #27: Avril Lavigne "Complicated (2002) / Taylor Swift "Forever and Always" (2009)

"Complicated" was our #1 guilty pleasure song of 2002, and if you don't recognize it as a country song, you are frontin'. "Forever and Always" is an album track (not a single) if that means anything... Both videos posted here are horrendously awful and unwatchable, but the songs are still A+.

White chicks LOL. Is this really country? If so, this is the best country song of the past 20 years, which is weird because I just read that this was possibly written about one of the Jonas Brothers. I have no desire to pay attention to Taylor Swift's lyrics, so the celebrity gossip attached to this song is meaningless to me. - TMK, 12/26/09
