DAMN, some peeps in this fan base need a music lesson, preferably an American music lesson. So many music genres crisscross sounds and aspects that they can tend to sometimes bleed together. Let the girl eat some damn cake if she wants to. I don't want 2012 Lana because that would be so boring and repetitious, give me something new, something different. I'm not the same dude I was when Lana came into my life; I've evolved and I want Lana to do the same. I highly doubt Lana is going to throw down some wall to wall country album, full of overtly twangy rhyming words. So far though I'm in love with EVERYTHING I've heard (songs & snippets wise) representing NFR

Uuuggghhhh Venice Bitch is THAT song, it’s on so many lists of the best songs of 2018 and I’m so glad to stan Lana!

YES YES YES YES LETS MEET UP IN NOOOLLLLAAAAA I CANT WAIT IM SHAKING RN IM LITERALLY SHAKING

IM FUCKIN GOIN TO THAT NO PROBLEMS, NOLA IS THE MOST MAGICAL PLACE EVER!!!!

gays when their fave announces a new song but they listen and realize they cant twerk to it
 

Venice Bitch is on like every year end list I’ve read so far.
 
We stan an experimental QUEEN

and here's the playlist, which turned out GREAT: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EjuzI40oP7L8E
 
no Lana in my top songs in the pic, but the Lana songs in the playlist were Florida Kilos, Cherry, Mariners Apartment Complex, and Get Free

I won’t ever stop. I listen to her on a daily basis, at least once. It’s just a daily tally I’ve kept up with and I’ve lasted this long, I won’t quit now. There’s no point, especially if she’s just releasing album after album like it seems she’s been doing the past few years. I’d rather waste my time listening to more and more material from her than any other artist, even if the material is reused, remade. Idgaf about other artists, fresh out of fucks forever as much as I listen to Lana.

probably never, She's the singer I've been waiting for all my life. My own story is similar in some ways to the one she tells in her records. And she has a gift of expressing exactly what I'm feeling at the moment she releases a record. 

Don't judge me, but as a kid and until I was like 13, I basically only listened to j-pop. I still love three of the artists I play the most, I felt sad when one of them decided to retire last year (but I don't blame her, she's been in the industry for ages) and no, I might not always understand all the words everytime... but it doesn't really matter. I think we all liked Michael Jackson as kids even though not all of us understood English, right? Luckily there's almost always a translation of the lyrics to be found on the internet, so maybe that was one reason why I was better at English than my classmates as a kid... and that I played video games in English... anyway.
I still love Ayu even though her music has been really bad the past years - the last good album I listened to is from 2009 and the last amazing song is from 2014... a collab with Armin van Buuren, so it wasn't completely her own song either. That said, she's been with me longer than any other artist and I might not like her new songs but I still admire her with all of my heart.
I've loved k-pop since I was like 14-15 and I've stanned the same people for like 7 years, so I doubt that my love for them will die anytime soon either.
 
The first English speaking artists I loved was U2, mainly thanks fo my dad and one of my brothers who were/are the biggest fan ever. My brother is a mod on the Swedish fan site. I didn't love U2 when I was younger (I was all about pop haha) but as I grew older, I couldn't help but really love them and their music as well. And it's easier to "connect" with the songs since they're sung in a language I actually understand. They've always been in my life so I don't expect my love and admiration for them will ever die.
 
But Lana was the first English speaking artists that I just completely fell in love with when I gave her a chance. I've loved her for 5 years and I can't imagine ever not loving her in the future. I've had her singing voice in my head every week (day??)... for like five years. I'm hooked for life. Her voice is magical, her lyrics and storytelling is on a different level and the music itself is... I've never heard anything like it. I will never get tired of her songs, released and unreleased. I can't connect to any of her songs really (except for Dark Paradise) because I've never been a wild person and never experienced heartbreak. But damn. I can feel the melancholy she sings of. I love following her story, seeing her becoming better and less depressed like she was a few years ago. She deserves the world and I will supprt her the best I can by buying her albums and concert tickets. She has a special place in my heart. I don't believe I will ever grow tired of her, even if her music would become less good - I mean, I still love the same woman since I was a kid even though she hasn't had a good album since 2009, right?
 
TL;DR: ♥ Lana forever in my heart ♥

I did check mine earlier today tho - who on Spotify thinks Lana is a cancer and not a Gemini?? I feel like I should go to their headquarters and correct them, lol...

Some people have like a phobia of Country music for some reason, I think a lot of it can be good although I dont listen to it much. Like these songs
 

 

I really wish Lana dropped more stand alone or double singles...
 
Imagine if we had've gotten Best American Record and Yosemite last summer. And then Hey Blue Baby and I Must Be So Stupid For Being So Happy this winter.
 
I feel like she has a lot of freedom with her record label so I'd like to see her do more EP's or random drops.

What can I say? I've got taste 

There are still a few weeks left of 2018 so I’ll be back later and show what I got.

Yeah I only got into him maybe 5 years ago after seeing he played every instrument on his debut album and self produced it I had to check him out. I think that only Prince and 1 other guy actually worked on the album and the other guy only co-wrote a small part of 1 song everything else was done by Prince himself, every lyric, all the singing, all instruments played live - something like 20 odd instruments, all the production, mixing etc done by him alone  imagine having that talent

1999 you will know and you should check his song Kiss, you might know it also.
 
Yeah I checked there on google, he played all 27 instruments on his first album. He later said, "I was a physical wreck when I finished." It must have taken some work in the 70s to do all your songs on your own on analogue equipment playing every instrument yourself. Something like that will probably never be done again, especially for the album to sell Millions of copies as no-one else would be anywhere near as good at playing guitar, drums, keyboard, piano etc just couldn't be done.

This is the Top 100 playlist they gave me https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EjijEs5nVCCBG?utm_campaign=2018q4_markets_single_cproductmarketing_holiday&utm_medium=wrapped&utm_source=yourtopsongs
 
It has 6 Lana songs Salvatore, Mariners Apartment Complex, Gods & Monsters, Freak, Old Money and Ride. (Summer Wine by Nancy Sinatra also since the Lana version isnt on there).

Ur all good man, no worries ah! 
 
I LOVED it at first listen. I'm actually pretty late when it came to really understanding/loving Prince, but ohmygod I was watching this one doc video on yt, and it just came to Prince performing in the rain for the Super bowl, and it was loveeeee. The caress of that song, just. So beautiful 

Purple Rain to me is one of the best songs of all time, I listen to it at least once a week, mostly on Youtube as I like to see it  being performed :defeated:

If you didn't know Purple Rain was recorded live from that performance, which was the first ever live public performance of it.

Idk what ur doing rn, but just know I saw purple Rain and am now doing my best to singing it as soulfully as I could. Arms in the air swinging 
Sunfjaaannnnnnnnnn

Lol

3 of my most played songs are Chief Keef songs from about 2012-2013 I have a playlist of about 10 of his songs that I play all the time though.
