What Gaga album means the most to you and why?

[AlwaysLoveGaga 4,297]

I want to add some positivity to this fourum, so explain what Gaga album means the most to you and why.

Not necessarily what is your favorite or what is her "best", but what means the most. Maybe in terms of sentimental value, the memories it brings, the feeling you get, etc

For me, it's Joanne. The emotion and healing it brings me and sense of calm it brings me is unmatched by any other album ever. I love it so much and will never understand the hate it gets. It means so much to me.

I would say ARTPOP because it symbolizes a grand time in my life. Also some of the songs are very sentimental and personal to me. 
BTW would be a very close second tho.

Born This Way! It came out when I was still questioning my sexuality and religious beliefs. I was also in grade 9 and it was a very empowering album to me because I was a confused and moody teenager who just started the craziness of high school. 

I kid you not, after I bought the album and downloaded it onto my ipod and computer, I carried the CD in my backpack throughout the first 2 years of high school. It was comforting

ASIB. 

I actually love all her songs on it, and idk how to explain it but the feelings I experience listening to it are unlike her other work, in its own unique way, and I have some really nice associations/sentimental feelings/memories with it.

I love them all but I don't think any of them means that much to me, they just don't reflect my life at all

I'd probably go with The Fame though

[dynamite 59,314]

Born This Way because it has so many anthems and is her best album sound, lyric and concept wise. I wish I got to see the tour. 

The Edge of Glory at Radio 1 Big Weekend remains my favourite piano performance, as does anything to do with Hair and Scheiße

ARTPOP. The music healed my soul during the hardest time of my life. While I was watching Gaga battle with depression and being victimised by her management and the press, I was being bullied and felt myself slowly sinking into a depression that almost took my life. I felt so connected to her during that point in time. I would blare every song in ARTPOP in my car and sing along, and it was escapism for me because for a while it was the only thing that made me feel anything but despair.

Onto a happier note, it also has bop after bop after bop, what's not to like 

[JRCF29 8,202]

Joanne because it was the first album that was released when I was old enough to be listening to GaGa (I was 10 when ARTPOP was released.) It was the first time I got to experience a release/era as it happened, but I think I'll get an even fuller experience with Chromatica. 

The Fame brings me major nostalgia even though I was in first grade when it came out. There's nothing else I can say (eh, eh)

This one is kind of hard for me. I'm gonna share something kind of personal...

So my grandad from my mum's side of the family always favoured my cousin over me. He didn't really show much love to me, but there was one time where he showed he genuinely cared about me. When he was on holiday in Florida, he bought some gifts for us. The one and only time he showed he cared was when he brought back The Fame CD from America. 

The Fame album means the most to me for that reason. It was strange because The Fame was released in the US before the UK so it was cool to have her debut album before anyone else did, and I remember dancing around to it in my room via my PS2. I love it so much, and because it was a gift from a family member, The Fame holds a true place in my heart.

 

But I'd also say ARTPOP, ASIB, and Chromatica (even though its not out yet). With Chromatica, I feel like I already have a connection with it because of whats going on right now, it was supposed to come on the date I celebrate my birthday, and I just genuinely feel like this album will be so special to me.

ARTPOP means so much to me because I really got to appreciate the era after it happened, in 2015. And I really truly got to understand her, the album and it brought me closer to Gaga along with Joanne. Joanne was really the first era I experienced as a stan of Lady Gaga.

A Star Is Born simply because it was her first movie and I was so proud to see her and support her in it

Born This Way 1100%. It’s indescribable how much this album helped me growing up, and it definitely solidified my immense love for Gaga. Picture a 9 year old kid in 2011 hearing BTW on TV and on the radio, hearing the words gay and lesbian being sung by a massive artist, singing about loving yourself despite being different, it’s inspiring. It really is.

When you grow up hearing only bad things about the way you are, you just feel awful especially when you’re a kid. You think there’s something wrong with you. Then comes Gaga with a powerful message, making all of us who felt weird and not enough feel like we belong somewhere. She put us all under her wing and told us it was ok to be like this. With this album and era she transformed into a different kind of artist, she became a mother figure for her fans. An album that empowers and makes you feel like you can do anything even though you’ve been hearing your whole life you can’t. It can’t be put into words how much this album has helped anyone who felt like didn’t belong, whether it be the LGBT, or anyone who was ever bullied or cast aside.

A representation of everything she stands for. I will never understand those who love Gaga yet hate on this album. I guess they maybe don’t relate to the lyrics at all nor find any empowerment in it because they’ve never needed it. But for those of us who have, it’s a very important period of Gaga’s trajectory.

BTW. It's the first album I waited for and was on a forum for. The hype for it was amazing and so is the album itself. It was my first concert and what got me hooked on Gaga!

[HausofGabo 1,263]

a huge tie between ARTPOP and BTW, but ARTPOP is such a rush of energy to me, I can listen to it on every occasion, whether I'm sad listening to Dope, or angry listening to Swine, nostalgic listening to Brooklyn nights, trippy/lost listening to ARTPOP, sexy listening to Do what you want or just a badass listening to Mary Jane Holland and Aura. It fits my daily life even years before.

Born This Way, cause it changed the world for the LGBT community around the globe

I love you so much man, I'm so happy and proud of you   I don't know why I am crying reading your post, you're so special! I agree with what you said 100%. You are so strong and powerful and I want you to know that

For me it was strange, all of that went completely over my head. When I think about myself back in 2011 listening to BTW, I never once thought to myself or never fully understood what those lyrics meant. When I was 13 I never was thinking about LGBT things, or if I was part of that, or if my friends were, or anything. I just didn't think that deeply about anything. It wasn't until much after the fact and much later in life when I realised who I was and figuring out my sexuality that I truly realised the inpact of Born This Way and what those lyrics meant. 

Its so strange that when you finally come to understand yourself and who you are just how full circle things are. Like we are always destined to be who we are, and its so crazy that you can see all the little jigsaw pieces lining up in perfect formation that you couldn't see before.
