I can't believe some of her stans are saying The Fame when that's her best album I understand that many of you want to deny her decline and be good stans by saying "she's only getting better!" but that's just delusional. The Fame gave us 2 of her 3 number 1 singles (Just Dance and Poker Face) and the following singles (LoveGame and Paparazzi) were worthy of being #1s. It was 100% pop. I don't know why monsters call it 'The Filler' when there's songs on there like Starstruck, The Fame and Beautiful Dirty Rich which aren't messy, over-produced, electronic music with weird lyrics. They're amazing POP songs that would have charted so well in 2009 if they'd been singles. The only filler on there is 'Brown Eyes' and 'I Like It Rough' which should have been replaced with unreleased tracks like 'Fashion.' I mean, The Fame won a grammy for crying out loud. Not to mention it was her most, if not her only, consistent era as far as visuals and fashion are concerned.

ARTPOP is her worst and it's not even close. There's a few really bad songs on Born This Way but the good ones compensate for them.
