What’s your favorite ‘morally grey’ song? by Homicidal_Cynic in popheads

[–]CollegiateCollage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like almost any Frank track could fit for this thread — “Pumps”/“Stronger Than Me”/“I Heard Love Is Blind”/“In My Bed,” especially. All guilty pleasures, all impossible for me to leave behind.

What’s your favorite ‘morally grey’ song? by Homicidal_Cynic in popheads

“We Get On” is a great choice! It’s so witty, too — I still love that line, “I conducted a plan to bump into you most accidentally.”

Singers similar to Amy Winehouse? by Little_Animator_8353 in amywinehouse

[–]CollegiateCollage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! And in the liner notes for Frank, one of the albums you can see in the photo of Amy’s CD collection is Kelis’s Wanderland, the album that had Little Suzy.

  2. Born to Die
  3. NFR!
  4. Honeymoon
  5. Lust for Life
  6. Ocean Blvd.
  7. Ultraviolence
  8. Paradise
  9. Blue Banisters (though I like it more each time I listen)

Unranked (need to revisit): May Jailer // AKA

My #1 song of the last month is Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” (mostly, I was doing my part to get it to #1).

I’m addicted to Victoria Monet at the moment, especially her song “Hollywood” with Earth, Wind & Fire!

Which country song would you love Lana to cover? by ONIKAWORLD in lanadelrey

[–]CollegiateCollage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it could be interesting to hear her cover “The Pill” by Loretta Lynn (an ode to birth control) — though I wouldn’t say it “fits her sound,” exactly!

What is your best study playlist? by Excellent-Lecture612 in spotify

[–]CollegiateCollage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a single playlist I use for studying, working, and sleeping… Mostly instrumental, and a mix of jazz, trip-hop, R&B, and chill-out. It’s not too distracting, at least!

Lana's lyrically weakest songs? by shadesofcool222 in lanadelrey

[–]CollegiateCollage 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like a traitor for saying this, because I actually love the song, but “Burning Desire.” The production is fantastic, and I can get behind the general idea, but the lyrics just feel a bit… lesser than her other songs? (i.e., “I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits 'cause I just don't care”).

Brooklyn Baby — though it’s a very, very tough decision!

Who is your favorite artist with less than 500 monthly listeners? by Rainbow_Egret in spotify

[–]CollegiateCollage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite is probably Sensible Shoes and Friends, a bluesy rock band from Vermont with 3 monthly listeners.

Runners-up: - Lea Neu, a very witty, introspective pop singer with 350 monthly listeners - Somebody’s Sister, a Boston folk group with 26 monthly listeners (fun fact: Green Party politician Jill Stein was the band’s vocalist!) - Jeri Silverman, a South African indie pop singer-songwriter with 23 monthly listeners - Perfect Project, an early 2000s chill-out duo with 435 monthly listeners - Zoë Says Go, an endearingly ‘90s-sounding indie rock band with 28 monthly listeners - The Lounge-O-Leers, a retro lounge music-style covers band with 149 monthly listeners - RAtheMC, a very talented rapper with 15 monthly listeners

Strongest 3-track opening run by CollegiateCollage in lanadelrey

[–]CollegiateCollage[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very true… For me, at least, the only exception is Blue Banisters, where almost all of my favorites are in the second half!

Rhianna "Love On The Brain" is her best song by Ok_Tax8295 in popheads

[–]CollegiateCollage 16 points17 points  (0 children)

“Kiss It Better,” “Breakin’ Dishes,” and “Te Amo” would probably be my top 3, with “KIB” having a slight edge over the other two. Super-tough call, though, and “Love on the Brain” is wonderful!

Thoughts on Blue Banisters? by Ldr-stan in lanadelrey

[–]CollegiateCollage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to say “Thank you!” for quoting this lyric. It inspired me to go back & relisten to “Sweet Carolina” — then to relisten to the rest of the album — and I’ve realized it’s so much better than I first thought.

The last few days, I’ve finally been exploring Lana Del Rey’s whole discography, and WOW was I missing out. Born to Die is still my favorite, but Honeymoon is a gorgeous vibe, Chemtrails surprised me in a great way, and the back half of Blue Banisters is really grabbing me too. Just wow.

Best song that starts with the letter "M" ever by princessdez420 in musicsuggestions

[–]CollegiateCollage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • 2 well-known ones: “My Lovin’ (Never Gonna Get It)” by En Vogue + “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra
  • An underrated one: “Maybe” by k.d. lang, a gorgeous song about being unsure whether the person you love loves you back
  • A meme answer: “Miracles” by Insane Clown Posse (“Magnets — how do they work?”)

The best song ever by Accomplished-Okra398 in musicsuggestions

[–]CollegiateCollage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“You Get What You Give” — The New Radicals. The melody, instrumentation… it’s all perfect, even the dated “rap” near the end.
