BTD era: Video Games, Off to the Races, Carmen, Dark Paradise, National Anthem, Summertime Sadness, 

 

Paradise era: Ride, American, Cola, Blue Velvet, Gods & Monsters, Burning Desire.

 

Ultraviolence era: West Coast, Brooklyn Baby, Cruel World, Money Power Glory, FMWUTT, The Other Woman, Black Beauty, Florida Kilos, Is this Happiness?, Flipside

 

misc: Young and Beautiful, Once Upon A Dream, Motel 6, The End of the World, She's Not Me, This is What Makes Us Girls (demo one), Summer Wine, Chelsea Hotel No.6. Video Games (Club clique for the bad girls remix) ....

 

but yeah this changes all the time. the only definitive no ways for me are "Lucky Ones", "Yayo" & "Pretty When You Cry" 

"Bel Air" and (especially) "Yayo" still bore the fcuk out of me. in fact i hate all versions of yayo. probs her most overrated song tbh.   

Off to the Races slays the basics, Gods and Monsters for the new bodies and Black Beauty for the win. 

I still loathe So Legit and now i can add Pretty When You Cry to the ....very short list of songs i just do not like. also i've heard every man gets his wish way too many times now.....but yeah that's pretty much it. 

Ride vs Motel 6

Ride.

 you kidding me? gtfo ....i didnt come here for this blasphemy.   

"i'm tired of feelin' like i'm fucking crazy"             

I detest Pretty When I Cry almost as much as So Legit. 

POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS!!!!

Sad Girl vs Is This Happiness? 

west coast > shades of cool > ultraviolence. 

 

west coast is already one of my favorite LDR songs/singles ever. it slays my life every time i hear it. 

i like UV and SofC alot, but i'm worried that WC is going to be the best song on the album. 

She is fucking bringing it. YAAASSS!!! I am here for this......i was concerned about how a song like ultraviolence would sound like tbh (i avoided the live version), but this does not disappoint. 

Mardi Gras Party Favor

Hamptons Bikini Queen

St Valentine's Day Massacre

Wanderlust Lovers

Us against the world vs motel 6

Lady Gaga

The Weeknd

Trent Reznor....

 

and since we are all playing make believe......Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain

Motel 6 is so fun and catchy! 

So Legit is so fucking ridiculous, i won't even entertain downloading it. Million Dollar Man is meh for me too. 

as singles go I tend to skip over Born To Die a lot (i have no idea why).
