Not for every taste, especially not if you look for the typical pop dance Madonna style. This is the album I used to successfully recommend to all Madonna haters. The stellar production of William Orbit was the trigger. I used to like some Madonna hits from the beginning, but I've never fell for a complete album. I've been an early fan of W.O. (his Torch Song albums with ethereal female vocals, the Strange Cargo series...). He was the most advanced electro-pop producer of the moment and I was eagerly waiting for his colaboration with Madonna. It just came out as a perfect gem. Still unsurpassed today... Really liked the album! I totally did not expect the production. It was up beat but the same time slow, very interesting 11 hours ago, FfFfFfFF said: Skin, The Power of Good-By and Sky Fits Heaven are the songs that got me into Madonna. I don't know which version you listened, but US version doesn't have ''Has To Be'' so I suggest you to give it a listen too, gorgeous song . It was not on the version I listened to but I really liked it Sadly it's not on Apple Music What you want Lady Gaga🥂 What you want with Christina🥂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it less standouts than COADF and ROF. But I also think it's a grower. Especially the 'techno-ish' tracks took me a while to get into, but I like them now. It certainly had it's ups, this are my favourites: Music Impressive Instant (Love the 'I'm in a trance' part) Runaway Lover Amazing Gone American Life I loved this one!

Italian 554 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I'm surprised that almost no one mentions the True Blue album, some great single on there, definitely listen to it Make sure you listen to the Immaculate Collection, it's the definitive 80s compilation of her songs (+ it also has Justify My Love and Rescue Me which are good introduction to Erotica) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 32,702 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 X-Static gets me too tbh  I’m so glad you’re enjoying these albums. Always great to discover that some legends actually have great stuff lol, it’s so easy to take them for granted. And with Madge there’s sooo much to discover  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Life > Music (even though it's s grower). Impressive Instant is the definitive standout from Music. One good song that is missing on the US version of Music but appears on European version is American Pie. Paradise (Not For Me) is another standout that is blocked on some streaming services. The Japanese version has a weird techno song Cyberraga. It's up to you if you decide to give them a listen when you re-visit Music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should look up the original, uncensored version of the "American Life" music video, if you haven't seen it already. It is the only time Madonna has ever caved into public pressure and nixed an idea due to controversy. In the uncensored version, the video ends with Madonna throwing a grenade into a stupidly smiling George W. Bush's hands. The video is a huge commentary on how the media was selling Americans on the idea of the Iraq War in the same way that the sell fashion or other goods; how violence had been commercialized into a consumable good for a white, western public. It's INCREDIBLE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonkey 635 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I have a hard time listening to her early albums because of her Minnie Mouse voice. Is it just me? I don’t like Like A Virgin because of that but Like A Prayer is a favorite song of mine but never got around to listening to the album, is it worth giving it a spin?
