bumblebee 2,528 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Firstly, thanks for the read! It may seem like a collection of mini reviews, but considering the fact she's got 4 LPs and an EP it's a mammoth piece of work you've done! And you were not afraid to share some personal matters there, it was fun to read. Lana has so many songs and picking faves and ranking them can be heartbreaking Like placing one song that's dear to you above other which is no less dear As for the ranking itself, I was so happy to meet Old Money, Off to the Races, Love, Cruel World and Young and Beautiful at the top. But I'd love to pay special attention to Lucky Ones, you've valued it so high, I rarely see fans appreciate it, really, it's so often left out of top 20, and I love Lucky Ones madly, too And I'm falling in love with Get Free, too It was weird to see This Is What Makes Us Girls at the bottom while Off To The Races seated at No. 8, because these songs - to me, they are like Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Finally, I think this was more like your personal Lana-diary, because there's your quote there: "I remember how much these songs mean to me", and there must be a lot of personal reasons that influenced ranking each song, like the memories it stirs, the visions it recreates, the emotions it reminds you of and the times of your life it speaks of. So it looks not like "A Definitive Ranking of Every Lana Del Rey Song Ever.", but more like "A list of my favourite Lana Del Rey songs", which is still great and a treat. Every ranking like this amazes me with how diverse the tastes of Lana fans are! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlastiscGuy 21,102 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Don't say every song ever if you're only ranking the released ones Anyway, "Do I love it? Do I hate it?" I felt the same reading it, I disagree and agree in some things.... PG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religion Deserves A LOT higher (And I am not even actually a big fan of the song) 67. Burning Desire I LOVE THAT SONG - It's just not my thing at all 62. Blue Jeans WON'T EVEN COMMENT ON THAT ONE. - I KNEW this one would make people hate the review 54. Sad Girl Top 20 worthy 46. Cola Also top 20 worthy - Its good but not THAT good 44. Summertime Sadness Deserved better 42. Pretty When You Cry Deserved WAY better -You're right, 42 seems pretty low for. But when I was ranking them, this one felt like it was in the right spot. I stand by it though. 31. Is This Happiness? Overrated 30. Tomorrow Never Came Overrated 24. Black Beauty Extremely overrated 22. Lust For Life Overrated - THE CHORUS THOUGH 16. Once Upon A Dream Low top 30 material 12. Lucky Ones NO -ITS A MASTERPIECE 10. Body Electric NO.The chorus IS SOOO uninspired 9. Heroin Good song but not higher than 20. 7. Love THE WORST CHOICE IN THE WHOLE THING IFREIOF34IJF3. It deserves to be 30-35 spots lower. - Delete this 3. Get Free Also needs to be 20-25 spots lower.It'sute song but it's far from being a GREAT Lana song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every ranking like this amazes me with how diverse the tastes of Lana fans are! Thank you so much for this. It honestly means SO much Reading this made me so happy! As for the ranking argument, I really considered not calling it a ranking but went ahead with calling it one. It's my personal blog so I thought it was kind of my own ranking.

selenalavigne 1,433 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Loved reading through this list even though i disagree with the majority haha. Love and Off To The Races are where I would put them. The rest is very different for me. I agree that "This Is What Makes Us Girls" is one of her worst songs. I should make one of these jeje.

badgirlmeat 3,243 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 personally i would put Religion, Blue Jeans and High By The Beach a lot higher Art Deco, Coachella and Video Games would be higher Freak is one of my favorite songs of her your top 25 is great, i agree with most of that, except for Salvatore (for me it isn't even top 40 ) American would be lower (i hate it sorry ) Honeymoon (song) and Dark Paradise would be a lot lower (i strongly dislike DP, idk why but i never got into it ) anyways everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i obviously respect yours , i'm amazed at you doing this list because it must have been difficult af 🤠 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
