Like a Prayer but not by much. These two are my least favorite M albums.

What are your favorite Madonna albums?

Like A Prayer and Music are my fave albums by her

Ray Of Light is still great though.

Hard, but Ray of Light.

Like a Prayer>>>> Ray of Light. Madonna's first 4 albums >>>> the rest she put out after IMO

Like a Prayer.
I like Ray of Light, but never got the excitement around it.
But then again, True Blue is my favourite (sorry not sorry)

LAP has her best song but also lots of filler. I'll go with ROL. Both are overrated though.

I'd rate her albums:

Music > COADF > BS > LAV > TB > ROL > LAP > AL > Madonna > HC > Erotica > MDNA

Like a Prayer vs. Drowned World
Express Yourself vs. Swim
Love Song vs. Ray of Light
Till Death Do Us Part vs. Candy Perfume Girl
Promise to Try vs. Skin
Cherish vs. Nothing Really Matters
Dear Jessie vs. Sky Fits Heaven
Oh Father vs. Shanti/Ashtangi
Keep It Together vs. Frozen
Spanish Eyes vs. The Power of Good-Bye
Act of Contrition vs. To Have and Not to Hold

Ray of Light

And I'd rate her albums:

Erotica> Ray of Light > Music > MDNA > Bedtime Stories > Coadf > Like a Prayer > AL > Madonna > I'm Breathless > True Blue > Hard Candy

Where's COADF?

But ROL > LAP any time, any day. the only song from LAP I truly love is the single itself, while ROL is flawless.

Ray of Light tbh

Like A Prayer>Music>>Ray Of Light>>Erotica>>>>>>Confessions>True Blue>>>Madonna>>>>>Bedtime Stories>>>>>>>>American Life>>>Hard Candy>>Like A Vrigin>>>>>>>>>>>>>MDNA

Ray of Light for it's music and content, Like A Prayer for it's videos and accompanying tour, Blonde Ambition.
