"Secret Garden" is awesome. Perfect album closer.

There's "Waiting", too.

Waiting is perfect
Actually I like all the songs... including Did You Do it

Let's talk about how underappreciated some Erotica non singles are.

"Secret Garden" is fantastic.

No other pop divas (except maybe Janet) have ever come close to matching songs like this or "Mer Girl" in terms of sheer artistic credibility and profundity.

That's why I love Madonna.... She's like accessible but she also has artistic credibility and innovation/creativity.

That's why I keep on looking
For a petal that isn't torn
A heart that will not harden
A place where I can be born
In my secret garden
A rose without a thorn
A lover without scorn

'Ray of Light' was her first album I bought. I bought it at age 7, in 2005, about a month before Confessions released.

Have you ever watched your best friend die?

Have you ever watched a grown man cry?

Some say that life is unfair...

I say that people just don't care...

They'd rather turn the other way

And wait for this thing to go away

Why do we have to pretend?

Someday I pray it will end...

These two songs just reminded me that I really love Madonna.

True Blue is filled with HITS - and some of them are true pop masterpieces. It's fascinating that it puts together in a single album so many of Madonna's best songs ever. You don't get to see that everyday.

For me it's a big improvement from Like a Virgin, since they really reduced the amount of fillers.

''True Blue'' is ''Like A Virgin'' done about a million times better. They're both still very good albums.
I have to confess my adoration for ''Madonna'' (the 1st album), though. Every song is just ****ing amazing. It's one of my favourite albums by the Queen. There I said it.

[adrianbeane]

OK guys so I am really inspired/bored, so I'm putting the studio albums in order of amazingness.

5/5: amazing
''Like A Prayer''
''Erotica''
''Madonna''
''Ray Of Light''

4/5: very good
''Confessions On A Dance Floor''
''Music''
''True Blue''
''American Life''

3/5: good but lacking at parts
''Like A Virgin''
''Bedtime Stories''
''Hard Candy''

This somehow got me inspired to listen to ''Ray Of Light'' now. Which makes me doubt the choices I made above. OH WELL.

[MrGravey]

The Immaculate Album Rank

1. Ray of Light
2. Erotica
3. Bedtime Stories
4. Music
5. Confessions on a Dance Floor
6. I'm Breathless
7. Like A Prayer
8. Madonna
9. True Blue
10. American Life
11. Hard Candy
12. Like A Virgin

Super Pop is ****ing flawless up until that president/different rhymes come up.

Yes, it is! The leftovers from ''Confessions ...'' and ''American Life'' are some of her best. Some worth checking out are ''Triggering Your Senses'', ''History'', ''Miss You'', ''Is This Love (Bon d'Accord)'', ''It's So Cool''....

[Drowned_World]

[M-D-N-A]

This version of Rain is beautiful

[adrianbeane]

That version of ''Rain'' is a bit meh. I much prefer the album version. One of her best '90 singles.

[M-D-N-A]

I never use the album version

[BangBang]

Wait a minute, the general public thinks that "Girls just wanna have fun" is sung by Madonna???

Just start typing "Madonna Gir... " and you'll get "Madonna Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

Poor Cyndi.


What's next? Britney sung Genie in A Bottle... ?

[adrianbeane]

Re-discoved this amazing performance. It's a must-see for everyone.
