Another thing that really bothers me is how so many journalists disregard her creative output prior to 2011 as “plain Lizzy Grant, a failed songwriter” which is incredibly offensive. Not only is “plain” somewhat suggestive of a negative connotation, but it’s also just not true LOL! LDRAKALG is an album full of personality, character, and motifs that have naturally evolved into her later albums. I remember in several interviews from 2011, Lana would very diplomatically defend the album and you could tell she was always a bit perturbed at journalists suggesting she was a different person who did this total 180 in image and sound. Very weird...

Gotta hate on music-industry pundits, who think they know something about creativity and the artistic worth of an artist's works just by displaying objective facts about their opinions (as if that were interesting, btw this is just one critic's rankings, so its posture as being "interesting" is kind of a mystery for me). It also seems downright mysogynistic to treat the AKA album (and by implication all the unreleased stuff before or after it) as not fully formed or worthy of her discography (or at least some discography). If you take Mozart's first symphony written when he was not yet a teen, there are 25+ recordings of that. My point is not that she's like Mozart, but just that if an artist turns out to be great, it is a very natural thing (for male artists, at least) to be intensely interested in their early works to see how they got there. In LDR's case, for me, there is also a specific irony of there being as many, or more, early works than later ones, and their subjectively perceived quality (for me again) -- as songs, not necessarily production -- being about the same as her released works. I mean, I would have been just as happy (well happier, actually) seeing Go Go Dancer being no. 1.

Started scrolling and stopped when I saw Lolita at 112?? 
skipped to number one and really?? Really????
No, I’m all for opinions being opinions but Richard your opinion is wrong

flop of a title track NFR as number 15, yikes 

This physically hurt to read

Your Result: For Free
Almost everyone would describe you as having your heads in the clouds: an idealist spending their free time romanticizing their past and following playful tangents of “what if.” You value art (especially music) that allows you a form of escapism from your life. Unrequited love is your guilty pleasure. Song Suggestion: Planets of the Universe - Demo by Fleetwood Mac   Fairly accurate I'd say! Also not sure which PotU Demo you're referring to but the one with just Stevie and the piano is a serve!

She should put Hollywood on the album 

when UFB (or thunder, or dope, or any tlsp song for that matter) is the yosemite/BAR on RCS >>>

God Save Our Young Blood - a song where Lana is hardly noticeable - even making it onto this list and ranking HIGHER than some very personal, introspective songs (namely Is This Happiness) is terrible. What even. 

added masterlist of songs into spoiler without descriptions....
 
the blackest day being at 85..
heroin and yosemite being 56 and 57... 
 
the amount of NFR mid-cuts so high up is disgusting 

Yosemite!
 
You’ve been through more hardships than most, and your navigation and recovery through those experiences have molded you into an emotionally mature person. You’re a highly cerebral individual and are learning to both appreciate the present moment and accept your past for what it is. You’re growing as a person, and you’re likely not the same person you were a year ago.

They want to kill Yosemite because they know that It's better than White Dress.
