Was listening to 'Live to Tell' and 'Take a Bow' the other day and thought about how Madonna would do with a low key/acoustic album a'la Cyndi Lauper. Obviously her voice isn't near as powerful as Cyndi's, and she'd probably wanna play her own guitar, but I really think that some of her catalog is really durable. I'd love to hear an update on Live To Tell, especially.

Yep.. your ratings are right on.

GangstaFam said:

as HamsterHuey said,COADF is the album she should have made after 'Ray Of Light'

DavidEye said:

a worthy follow-up to Ray of Light, i'm sure can be compiled from
the best tracks of her last three albums. lol.

IstenSzek said:

most definitely

DavidEye said:

i challenge you and gangsta to both come up with the ultimate
tracklist, compiled of the very best tunes from those 3 albums



~leaves house to buy some cdrs~

#1 Ray Of Light
#2 Music
#3 American Life

IstenSzek said:

Madonna NOBODY KNOWS ME

Nobody Knows Me
Impressive Instant
Music
Forbidden Love
Jump
Nothing Fails
Don't Tell Me
What It Feels Like For A Girl
Get Together
Like It Or Not
Mother and Father
Easy Ride
Paradise (Not For Me)
Gone

CinisterCee said:

no, he's not. it's a cool song.

it would end up on my comp too

I like American Life but that song is not one of the reasons.

CinisterCee said:

It's by far my favorite on that album!

What do you do when you remember like, one song, some one-hit wonder track that you REALLLY dig, and you forgot to list?

CinisterCee said:

I'd change the list. But I considered over 8000 songs for it, so I don't think I missed much!

I mean, where is "What I Am" by Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians?

CinisterCee said:

On a list of songs I hate.

in order of genius:

Music
American Life
Confessions on a dancefloor
Ray of light

*runs*

Moonbeam said:

I would laugh if you had actually compiled that as a list.

CinisterCee said:

It's on its way.

As a madonna fan as far back as I can remember, American Life was the first time I lost interest and kinda gave up on her. It's the only Madonna album apart from Evita that I don't own. I like all of her other albums, particularly Ray of Light and Music. In fact ROL is one of my favourite albums of all time, by anyone. I didn't bother with COADF until just last week when Hung Up finally grew on me. It's a better album than I expected but I can't stand the song I Like New York. Once again though, Madonna has come up with the goods after a lot of critics and fans (me) had written her off, so fair play to her. It's probably the only new music I'll buy this year. I think last year LAMB by Gwen Stefani was the only new music I bought.

back on topic, my list would be

ROL
Music
COADF
American Lfe doesn't qualify

Although, ROL and AL keep swapping places...

That's my song!

That ain't on Lovesexy or its associated b-sides. Cough it up!
