Physical edition + vinyl out soon.

2014 is drawing to a close and it's almost time to do the annual Lana Del Rey song ranking! This is always a fun time of the year and the last two have been pretty successful! However, this year I will be doing things a little bit differently since there will be many different categories to vote for as well as the overall 1-100 ranking! But before you can vote for songs, I NEED YOU to nominate them!
 
I want you to reply and vote here in the comments here for songs that you want to see appear in the following categories! Vote for three that fit with the theme and the most popular five in each category will be available to vote for in the official ranking when the time comes.

I still can't get my head around  how great this album is. She makes Iggy and Nicki look like the worst amateurs in the game. It's not really news, but to see these two gettin all the success with the efforts that they offer is just sad. I am sure they have worked hard and that they were struggels, but there are simply no excuses for the lack of quality material that they offer when you compare it to BWET.
The nerve to call an album The New Classic and have songs on there that were written by Katy Perry and co-singers like Rita Ora and still call yourself a rapper is mindblowing. Just as much as having your songs produced by Dr Luke, having a song like Anaconda and saying in a recent interview that your new album will be important for hip hop.
 
Azealia at least never gave up her artistic vision, fought for being released in the way she wanted to and now Interscope can fuck emselves in the ass, for messing it up and not believing in her

I'd love if you sing a song by Radiohead

"No Supreses" - Radiohead (would be great)
"Karma Police" - Radiohead
 
"Exit Music (For A Film)" - Radiohead (please, it would be pretty cool absurd!!)
 
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak, as others have said ...
 
"Back To Black" - Amy Winehouse
 
"Life On Mars" - David Bowie...
 
Also Glory Box or Roads, Portishead!! (Roads in particular, it would be orgasmic ... )

You have a really good eye for these. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of them 

Serious answer - who knows what she likes 'behind closed doors', but she definitely seems to like thinking about it. One of the not at all salacious aspects of BDSM is that it lets people relive traumatic or shitty experiences in a safe setting, so that they can move from being controlled by those events, to controlling them. I get that feeling off a number of her songs (the Ride film clip seems to be a huge exercise in this). It's a type of empowerment that doesn't really fit 'positive thinking' or 'girl power' narratives, so it's a little more hidden in popular culture. 
 
So if Lana can reclaim and rewrite her past in her songs, does she need to do it in her life through BDSM? I have no idea. Everything else is gossip, which I'll leave to people who like to do that ...

Finally my own thread
 
I'll just post all my Lana related work here (edits and drawings/paintings mainly) since I'm tired of people literally farting and making a thread about it
 
So, when Lana first talked about Ultraviolence she said it would be 'dark, almost unlistenable' (or something along those lines) so I got this idea and well, I decided to do some lyric art covers (?) whatever, idk how these are called but I liked the idea and made them

 

 

 

 
 
I made three for now and I have other ideas, I'll try to make them soon, hope you like them

It's funny how many Youtube comments there are that say something like 'I normally only like heavy metal, but this Lana song is really good', so you might not be far off the mark there.

Off topic stuff in spoiler
 
 
I feel like commenting on their videos 'I normally only listen to Lana Del Rey, but I also like this' 

I've noticed that too! I actually do really like all the bands I mentioned and a lot of those fans like Lana. It's so add lol.

If you like anything at all, trust me, you'll like Lana Del Rey.
(If you don't, you're a disgusting bitch!)

Daily LTM Azealia update - the record's growing on me more every time, and I need a physical copy. The only thing I've bought on iTunes and then CD is Ultraviolence, and I didn't enjoy doing that ...

YES PLEASE That song is beautiful

The song structures of most IM songs are so different to Lana's that it's hard to picture it, but imagine her covering Remember Tomorrow?! Especially great because it would annoy all the humourless heavy metal fans 
 

I really like the record, now that I've heard some of it on Youtube. Does anyone know if there will be physical copies released soon?

Aside from being like most people here and wanting everything, what I most want to hear is the original 'Ultraviolence' album, because it was considered good enough to release. It's also the thing that we'll never get to hear (maybe for a tenth anniversary edition or something).
