Harder beats?

CinisterCee said:

Not really. The album version, even though it's 8 minutes long, kinda wimps out towards the end. The remix has a more consistent drum pattern all the way through and the vocals have an effect on them that sounds like you're listening to it in a disco.

Cool. Man I appreciate your ears.

I will always have Madonna's back because she cut "Angel", one of her VERY BEST pop songs ever.

Guess it's what does not makes me a madonna fanatic...I hate the Like a virgin album

I think I was about 12 or 13 when I started buying my own music. Some of it was awful, since like most kids in their early teens, I had bad taste in music. I actually had better taste when I was a little kid back in the mid '80s to early '90s than I did as a teen.

I don't care for it either. It has some very good songs on it - Angel and Dress You Up and Stay - but the utter crap on it weighs it down. Mediocre at best and probably her most dated album.

I hand selected my first vinyl record Disney's Mousercise at age 4 or 5, I believe.

My Mom would let me pick one 45 once a week when she went shopping at around 9.
The first of which might have been Let Me In...



...by The Sensations

I amassed a ton of those things - James Brown, Motown, Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Four Seasons, Henry Mancini, Bert Kaempfert, David Rose, etc. (some of which I still own).


The first LPs I bought with my own money were...



...these at around 10/11.

From a music/sound point of view, about age 7. Totally immersed in the "sound" of music from 1 of 2 Parents. Always heard the music within the music.....Courtesy of James Brown (initially) and so many, many others later. Started purchasing about age 10, periodic allowances . Much of what I own today is courtesy of what "sound" did to me at an early age.

45's were the thang back then

My mom bought me my first cassette tape which was:

Bobby Brown - "Don't Be Cruel" (1988)

and I was 6 years old.

My first few musical purchases on my own were:

on CD; Jodeci - "Diary of a Mad Band" (1993) at age 11
on cassette tape; Outkast - "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik" & Mobb Deep "The Infamous"

The red and blue ones from the '70s....forget the actual name. I stupidly sold off all my vinyl one year (although I can't say I miss Huey Lewis)!

Hmmm, the first cassette I ever owned was "True Blue", but that was a gift. I think the first one I bought for myself was either "Madonna" or "The Immaculate Collection", and I must've been about 7 or 8. I was ALL about Madonna for a while there.

I must've been a very strange child.

The first album I bought by myself with my own money was "The Gold Experience". I was 13, and in 1995 I still did not have a CD player, so I had to buy it on tape! I hid it from my mother, because I wasn't sure how she'd react to me buying a Prince album.

It's still one of my favorites to this day.

THE FIRST 45 I BOUGHT WAS "YOU CAN'T WIN" BY MICHAEL JACKSON FROM THE WIZ.

YOU CAN'T WIN,
YOU CAN'T GET OVER,
AND YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF THE GAME.....

My older brother turned me onto that song. He's a hip hop head; and has that EP single on 12" vinyl.

"Angel (live version*)" b/w "Into The Groove" ?


*disclaimer: not actually live

VoicesCarry said:

Agreed! If I ever cover Madonna, that's the song I'm doing.
