......so according to you Madonna's career basically starts in 1994.

I'm pretty sure he referred to American Life as the true start of Madge's career or something like that at one point

I never said that. (but I thought it jk)

I'm pretty sure what I said that there is her career leading up to American Life, and then there's like a new career playing catch-up to her former self fromm then onwards. But this so called "catch up" is what I love the most, I don't think she was playing "catch up" at all, I just think it's when she really threw herself whole heartedly into doing things she hadn't yet explored and there's something about Maturedonna that I really love more than Baby/controversydonna. I don't even know what I'm saying, but she kinda had an annoying attitude, and obviously her world issues awakening happened for American Life.

The fact that they all came out (if we ignore Music, which we should) one right after the other. 90sdonna punched so hard.

I downloaded a TGS audio recording. Woo, the pre-Evita vocals.

Get into the 2 disc of Celebration which has almost all her singles until 2008 and then you can also listen to Something To Remember which is a compilation of ballads. Then depending on where you want to go:

Pop/Dance:
Madonna
Like A Virgin
True Blue
Music
Confessions On A Dance Floor
Hard Candy
MDNA
Rebel Heart

Lyrical:
Erotica
Like A Prayer
Bedtime Stories
Ray of Light
American Life

Watching DVD's can also bring the albums to life:

The Virgin Tour - Madonna, Like A Virgin
Who's That Girl World Tour - Madonna, Like A Virgin, True Blue, Who's That Girl Soundtrack
Blond Ambition World Tour - Like A Prayer, I'm Breathless Soundtrack
Girlie Show World Tour - Erotica
Drowned World Tour - Ray of Light, Music
Re-Invention World Tour - American Life
Confessions Tour - Confessions On A Dance Floor
Sticky & Sweet Tour - Hard Candy
MDNA Tour - MDNA
Rebel Heart Tour - Rebel Heart

Bedtime Stories never really gets acknowledged live aside from Human Nature and Secret and the one time Bedtime Story was a video interlude on Re-Invention World Tour.

Soundtracks never really appeal to me, but Who's That Girl World Tour has a few from the movie soundtrack and Sticky & Sweet has Don't Cry For Me Argentina and You Must Love Me from Evita.

I'm gonna give Hard Candy a spin tonight. I'm in the mood for those gay, pink, ****ty beats and spanish guitars that make me wanna marry a filthy rich spaniard with muscles and big dick!!!

[Nemo]

Erotica - Ray of Light - Like a Prayer
Bedtime Stores - American Life - Madonna
True Blue - Like a Virgin - Confessions on a Dance Floor
Music - Rebel Heart - Hard Candy

It feels criminal to put Music in the same category as the other two Music and COADF are interchangeable here tbh. While I prefer COADF overall, I would say that Music is unarguably a better album.

I know, we have flawless taste

The problem wasn't the winner or the order, it was the host was a damn flop. He would only update periodically then for like the final 50, he just posted the averages in groups of 10 with no graphics or commentary. Even if the results are messy, she at least deserves a well done rate.

Oh wait, I was thinking you meant the most recent rate that you hosted. OMG at that tragic flop of a rate We need justice! You should request to redo it! Besides it was like four years ago.

No other pop star ever came close.

More like TFA --> COADF The second part of this post is absolutely correct though!

Angel really is one of the best songs ever, huh?

Whew, the worst song in her eighties catalog still being a great song

Originally posted by That Bad Eartha

Debut is the closest she has ever come to a filler free album. It is flawless and criminally underrated amongst her stans. Every single track (bar for maybe I Know It) is stunning.

Ray of Light is great, but it is 4th or 5th for me.

Omg I love how much tea you spill in this thread TFA is such a fantastic album! I used to not use "Everybody" for the longest time for some reason, but it has grown on me very much, now letting me be able to say that I LOVE every single song on TFA. The IKI shade ain't cute though. That song is so infections and such a perfect song to BLARE while in the car. I've been listening to it during nearly all of my recent car rides If we end up doing that discography rate (which I can promise and assure you that I will participate in) I don't see myself giving any song on TFA lower than a 7.

Hello why do you think me and Alan stan so hard? Ugh that sounds so perfect.

See what flavour you like and I'll have it for you.
C'mon into my store I got candy galore.
Don't pretend you're not hungry I've seen it before.
I got Turkish delight baby and so much more."

Madonna clearly thinks so - hence why she puts it in every tour. She's convinced it's her 2000s signature song for some reason and I'm so glad.

Watch it be track 1 on her posthumous album.

[Alongoria13]

Bigger classic than Hung Up tbh
