Madonna - You Can Dance Vs. Jody Watley - You Wanna Dance With Me? Which do you feel is the better remix album? Both came out around the same time. Madonna-You Can Dance (Released on Nov.27,1987) Track listing; 1. "Spotlight" 2. "Holiday" 3. "Everybody" 4. "Physical Attraction" 5. "Over and Over" 6. "Into the Groove" 7. "Where's the Party" Jody Watley-You Wanna Dance With Me? (Released on Nov.14,1989) Track listing: 1. "Still a Thrill" 2. "Friends" 3. "Looking for a New Love" 4. "Real Love" 5. "L.O.V.E.R." 6. "What'cha Gonna Do for Me" 7. "Don't You Want Me" 8. "Most of All" 9. "Some Kind of Lover" While I love Jody Watley, I just think her remix album is not very good. Aside from Friends the rest of the album is kind of disappointing. Love the original versions of these song but I think Madonna's album just kicks ass from top to bottom plus the addition of a new really good song Spotlight takes it for me. | |

Around the same time? That's two full years apart. And let's remember, music was changing, a lot, in the late 80s. Jody was more in touch with the sound of the moment. A bigger reverb, bigger vocals, new drum machines and keyboards to be utilized. Those were the days of Taylor Dayne with that new wall of sound, and schmaltz like Will To Power and the big single from Dirty Dancing. 1989? Chicago - "Look Away" with Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" in a close second. Those male-female duets - Will To Power, Boy Meets Girl - all over the place, plus new boy band New Kids On the Block making moves. Paula Abdul, Milli Vanilli, etc. That's not stuff you'd hear in 1986. "  don’t really care so much what people say about me because it is a reflection of who they r." |

Have you heard both of these specific dance remix albums. They're very similar in style and sound but one I feel does it better. I'm not comparing That's What Friends Are For. This is how I'm comparing the two... taken from Wikipedia:
"remixing was still a new concept and technology, by which a particular vocal phrase could be endlessly copied, repeated, chopped up, transposed up and down in pitch and give them more echo, reverberation, treble or bass." Both albums do this and are very similar in that way but one I feel nails it while the other one is a bit of a mess. [Edited 5/19/21 10:09am] | |

Never heard Madonna's Remix album. I use Jody's as part of my work out routine regularly. Love it! "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Listening to both albums again this morning, I think my problem with Jody's remix album is it's a little overdone with the overdubs. Madonna's album just flows better if that makes any sense. Real Love, Don't You Want Me and Most of All 's remixes have grown on me though. | |
