jayaredee said: SoulAlive said: Who wants a silly "Best of Remixes" CD?
 This seems like a stupid attempt to "tide fans over" until the new album is ready for release.
Why not release a multi-disc box set instead? Or at the very least,a really good 2-disc Greatest Hits set?? A compilation of remixes is dumb and pointless. Well, a new remix collection would be a better way to tide over fans than a 2-disc complilation of tracks we already own. The Immaculate Collection is still somewhat of a consistent seller anyway. She doesn't need a new collection imo. I disagree.She needs a really good,definitive 2-CD set of her greatest hits.There are major flaws with the two compilations that are already out there ('Immaculate Collection' and 'GHV2').For once,they need to get it right and include songs like "Angel","Dress You Up","Who's That Girl","Causing A Commotion","Everybody","Keep It Together" and numerous other hits.An artist of Madonna's stature deserves an excellent 2-CD Greatest Hits set. | |

The problem with GH compilations is that they cut into regular album sales. I think LAP would have been a much better selling album if The Immaculate Collection wasn't released. Same with Music and GHV2. Especially when in both cases, the big singles from both of those albums were included on the compilations. | |

Perhaps,but wouldn't it be cool to have all of her singles in one place? Of course,a box set would be even better but I have a feeling that we're never gonna get one  So,a 2-CD set would be the next best thing (no pun intended,lol). | |

SoulAlive said: Raze said: honestly, if it's only a 2-CD set at this point isn't going to contain half of those songs you named. why not? because at this point, she's got enough bona fide greatest hits to fill up 2 discs without putting lesser hits like Angel, Causing A Commotion and Keep It Together on there. I know they all went top 10, but they've hardly gone down as classics of the canon. They're kind of "forgotten" hits. I'm guessing if it was 2 discs, this is how they'd do it: CD 1: 01 Holiday 02 Borderline 03 Lucky Star 04 Like A Virgin 05 Material Girl 06 Crazy For You 07 Into The Groove 08 Live To Tell 09 Papa Don't Prach 10 Open Your Heart 11 La Isla Bonita 12 Who's That Girl 13 Like A Prayer 14 Express Yourself 15 Cherish 16 Vogue 17 Justify My Love 18 This Used To Be My Playground CD 2: 01 Deeper And Deeper 02 Rain 03 I'll Remember 04 Secret 05 Take A Bow 06 You'll See 07 Frozen 08 Ray Of Light 09 The Power Of Goodbye 10 Music 11 Don't Tell Me 12 Die Another Day 13 American Life 14 Hollywood 15 Nothing Fails 16 Hung Up 17 Sorry 18 Jump Unless they just did a GHV3 to cover what's come out since GHV2 plus the stuff that didn't make it to the first 2. I would much prefer a 3, even 4 disc set containing all of her singles from around the world, in the versions that were hits. but I don't have much hope for it.

VinnyM27 said: A "Best Of Remixes"....I think we've heard stuff like this before, no? I wonder what a "Best of Remixes" would sound like....would it be super concentrated on the late ninties and after (if Madonna has her say, I'm sure it will). Madonna's best and most memorable remix has always been the Jr, Vasquez remix of "Secret". Brought a great song to a new funky level.
i hope it's new remixes i want the remix of material girl from I'm Going To Tell You a Secert You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

I'd like a collection of her original 12 Inch versions such as "Like A Virgin" and "Vogue". However, if it's a collection of old songs that have remixed to sound shit hop sounding.....hell to the fuckin' naw! Andy is a four letter word. | |

That's a good tracklist you came up with  I wouldn't mind a set like that,as long as they used the original single versions....that means NO remixes,or altered versions! I hate what they did with "Into The Groove" and "Like A Prayer" on the 'Immaculate Collection'.I want the hit singles sounding the same way they did when I heard them on the radio.Remixes should only be used on maxi-singles,imo. | |

If she did a collection of "updated" remixes,I wouldn't even buy it  I hate the idea of new remixes for old songs. | |

From what I've heard,Warners has been wanting to release a box set since 2001,but Madonna is the one who won't cooperate She keeps saying she'll do it,then she gets involved in other projects and the box set gets delayed again and again.It's clearly not a priority for her.Hell,she didn't have anything to do with 'GHV2'.They hastily threw that together without her input or advice.Like Prince,she hates to look back,which is unfortunate for her fans.
At this point,I'm content with a new CD every two years,and the occasional tour We can't really complain because she gives us alot to look forward to. | |

i hope it's new remixes i want the remix of material girl from I'm Going To Tell You a Secert speaking of remix albums....are you guys familiar with this? It's a promo-only CD from 2001,containing remixes of tracks from GHV2: 
DISC ONE--- What It Feels Like For A Girl (That Kid Chris Caligula 2001 Mix) Don't Tell Me (Timo Mass Mix) 6:55 Drowned World/Substitute For Love (BT & Sasha Bucklodge Ashram Mix) 9:27 Human Nature (Bottom Heavy Dub) 7:56 Frozen (Calderone Extended Club Mix) 11:17 Erotica (Masters At Work Dub) 4:50 DISC TWO--- Deeper and Deeper (David's Klub Mix) 7:39 Ray Of Light (Calderone Club Mix) 9:30 Beautiful Stranger (Calderone Club Mix) 10:12 Bedtime Story (Luscious Dub Mix) 7:40 Secret (Junior's Sound Factory Dub) 7:58 Music (HQ2 Club Mix) 8:50  this isn't a must-have item for me,but I think many of her fans would love something like this,especially the club-goers and DJs. | |

They're going to over-represent her newer, post-GHV2 work, since it hasn't been covered by a compilation yet, in comparison to much, much bigger (but lesser) hits from the early years, so those are my guesses as to what will be included.

I'm picking on her a bit, but it's not nearly as bad as some folks who have a greatest hits collection after only 3 records, like I believe Britny did. My Legacy

I always consider "I'm Breathless" a proper Madonna album that was just slightly assocaited with a movie (only 3 of the songs are from the movie plus I believe the movie had two other proper soundtracks) but not "Evita" or "Who's that Girl" becuase they include too many non Madonna songs (plus with "Evita", Madonna's name doesn't appear on the cover or the spine like it would on a proper album....although it I think it does for "Who's That Girl", probably only becuase she is the star of the movie...just an attempt to sell records to Madonna and it probably worked). | |

I see what you mean about I'm Breathless. I usually don't count it, though, because it wasn't her going in to record an album. It's more of a side project or novelty project. Something she was doing in character to promote the movie, rather than going in to record a "Madonna" album. And the only non-"period piece" is "Vogue" which was tacked on, and not to be on there in the first place.

The problem is....her greatest hits albums are flawed.'The Immaculate Collection' includes some of her biggest hits,but they screwed it up by using inferior remix/alternate versions (on several tracks) instead of the original single versions.Thus,classic songs like "Into The Groove" and "Like A Prayer" are ruined,imo.It's also missing several hits.'Greatest Hits Volume 2' is a joke.It contains lame edits and a questionable tracklist.The whole thing seems hastily thrown together. That's why I say she needs an excellent 2-CD compilation that finally gets it right.Considering all the hits she has had,it should be a piece of cake to compile them all into a stunning double disc set. | |

With all of her hits,I could easily fill up a 4-CD box set that could look something like this: ULTIMATE MADONNA (4-CD set) DISC ONE--- Everybody Burning Up Holiday Borderline Lucky Star Like A Virgin Material Girl Crazy For You Angel Into The Groove Sidewalk Talk (Jellybean featuring Madonna) Dress You Up Gambler Live To Tell True Blue Papa Don't Preach DISC TWO--- Open Your Heart La Isla Bonita Who's That Girl Causing A Commotion The Look Of Love Spotlight Like A Prayer Express Yourself Cherish Oh Father Dear Jessie Keep It Together Vogue Hanky Panky Justify My Love DISC THREE--- Rescue Me This Used To Be My Playground Erotica Deeper and Deeper Bad Girl Rain I'll Remember Secret Take A Bow Bedtime Story Human Nature You'll See One More Chance Love Don't Live Here Anymore (1995 remix) You Must Love Me Don't Cry For Me Argentina DISC FOUR--- Frozen Ray Of Light Drowned World/Substitute For Love The Power Of Good-bye Nothing Really Matters Beautiful Stranger American Pie Music Don't Tell Me What It Feels Like For A Girl Die Another Day American Life Hollywood Nothing Fails Hung Up Sorry Even with 4 CDs,I still didn't have room for many other singles and important tracks I wanted to include ("Jump","Get Together","GHV2 megamix (promo-only single),"I'd Rather Be Your Lover" (the unreleased version featuring Tupac),etc.I tried to make each CD about 16 tracks. No room for B-sides like "Let Down Your Guard" and "Ain't No Big Deal"
maybe a 5-CD box set wouldn't be a bad idea? | |
