Madonna-Bedtime Stories appreciation Who thinks this album is one of madonnas best? She combined pop really well with r&b and hip hop and it contains some underrated gems | |

This album is so beautiful. I called it rough silk. There were parts that felt like Erotica's rough street approach to vocals and production, yet there was an ongoing feeling of silky vocals, satin arrangements, and street smart attitude. It really changes from "Survival" and "Secret" to stuff like "Bedtime Story" and "Sanctuary," but comes back around with "Take A Bow." Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

Love the Bedtime Stories period
Such a great time in pop culture
I remember her going to a NYC night club and in her silk pajamas reading a bedtime story to the growd. When MTV was great.

It truly was and she made some of her best career videos | |

Notable for being her last great album that had lyrics which made sense. Her lyrical style completely changed with Ray of Light and has only gotten more and more obscure since then. | |

I would even go onto say some of her best and most complex writing came out of this era | |

I remember the very clever print ads for this album.One of them said:
Madonna wants to tuck you in with her new album.That's "tuck" with a T | |

Confessions feels more like this 1993-1996 period. Confessions made sense visually, lyrically and musically. So did Music actually.

LOVE IT! Definitely her best to me, even before Ray of Light.
The Bjork influence is well heard, but I love Bjork just as much, so that's a win-win.

A very underrated, gorgeous album! One of her finest moments where she focused on the songs rather than image/controversy. The harmonies and vocals on this album are to die for! There's a woman (AJayII) on YouTube who is reviewing all of her albums in backwards order. She just did this album. Check it out... https://www.youtube.com/w...Hc7ZNlgYdQ 3121... Don't U Wanna Come? | |

Love this album and her collaborations with greats including Babyface, Craig Armstrong, Dallas Austin, Dave "Jam" Hall, and Nellee Hooper. She really knocked it out of the park. I love the b-side "Let Down Your Guard" I actually jammed out to it over the weekend while playing a random playlist. A deluxe/remaster would be a welcome addition especially if it includes the 2Pac feature remastered with or without the Ndegeocello bass (I prefer it), LDYG, Your Honesty, and any other unreleased gems WB may be sitting on.
. Also the pajama party is on YouTube if u want a trip down memory lane. . if it was just a dream, call me a dreamer 2 | |

By far my favourite. I was very happy to see it reissued on vinyl as the originals were going for $200 around my area. | |

Oh yeah! Actually, they would have enough to do a great deluxe edition. I still have my Secret SINGLES so I wouldn't need those remixes, but they are a staple to the era, IMO. Soulful house via Junior Vasquez I believe. | |

Madonna 12 - Let Down Your Guard (Unreleased From Bedtime Stories 1994)

Easily her best (or at least my absolute personal favorite) album of her entire career. | |

Should've replaced "Don't Stop" or "I'd Rather be your lover" on the track listing. I always kind of suspected it got bumped because of lyrical similarities to "That's the Way Love Goes", although that's obviously supposition.

Don’t stop is a classic Madonna track! | |

Don't forget "Your Honesty" if we're talking Bedtime Stories outtakes--now that one was definitely album worthy and I could see worth a swap--maybe. | |
