I grew up with Madonna and literally can't think of a time when she wasn't around....
Even though I was already familiar with most of her big hits and had memorised all the words to Like A Prayer (the album)

I'd say it was with her Erotica album and the accompanying Sex era where I really sat up and took notice of Madonna the artist and the human! I was fascinated by what she had to say and her refreshing perspective on life and the seemingly contradictory society we live in....
Anyway, from that moment on I became a full-on hardcore fanatic and have never looked back!!!
