Yep! Your memory serves you well.

Anyhow, you like the Bad album.

Yes, just like our good friend, Cinister, this is also my favorite Madonna album. But I also like Erotica and Like a Prayer too.


What? You thought I didn't like Madonna or something. Shame on you.

Shut yer mouth or I'll do you dry!

No particular order:

Ray of light
Like a virgin
American life - Erotica (quite different records, but the both of them are very good but underrated)
Like a prayer

It was just a joke

One man's inconsistent record is another man's treasure.

I'm not a big fan of Bad, though, I just said that I thought it was his last relatively good release. It's very much a product of its time.

AHEM! Back on topic:

1. Ray Of Light- Her most personal, artistic work. Some incredible tunes, and easily the best lyrics of her career. My favorite tune: Drowned World/Substitute For Love

2. Erotica- Just a damn solid record. Despite the title, it covers so much more than sex. Favorite tune: Bad Girl

3. Music- A fun, straight-up dance record to follow the more serious ROL. Just a blast, through and through. Favorite tune: Impressive Instant

4. Like A Prayer- This is where Madonna started to become a little more three dimensional. Her music was no longer exclusively bubblegum pop. Favorite tune: Oh Father

5. Madonna- This one has to be noted just for the fact that it was a great pop record. Add in that this was the young ladies debut, and set the tone for much of what was to come, and you've got one truly historic disc. Favorite tune: Burning Up

Honorable mention goes to American Life. While I don't care for the album as a whole, the individual songs are fantastic. Favorite tune: Nothing Fails

Erotica
Ray of Light

I would say "Like A Prayer" if they would have included "Supernatural", even if it is too poppy for the CD.

1.MUSIC
2.EROTICA
3.MADONNA
4.LIKE A PRAYER
5.AMERICAN LIFE

Like A Prayer
Ray of Light
American Life
Music
Erotica

As is anything by Madonna.

Cloudbuster said:

I'm pretty sure Like A Prayer will be remembered long after Bad.

VoicesCarry said:

Unlikely, but I guess neither of us will be around to find out.

Anyway, it's a Madonna thread. I dunno why you had to mention MJ in the first place.

the 'Bad' album sounds horribly dated,but I guess that's another thread,huh?

DavidEye said:

Sure it does.

Like Madonna, Like A Virgin, True Blue, Erotica, Bedtime Stories and - in a few short years - Ray Of Light, Music and American Life, too.

Cloudbuster said:

As far as I'm concerned, Like A Virgin and True Blue are the only ones that are dated. Because the style and spirit of Erotica, Madonna, ROL and Music are being relentlessly copied years after their release by other artists (did Kylie Minogue have a copy of Erotica lying around when she was recording Body Language?). Songs like "Holiday" do not die.

VoicesCarry said:

LMAO!

Okay, we'll leave it there.

Cloudbuster said:

You laugh at me. But then you also think Dangerous and Invincible arent' dated in the least. So ????

We'll leave it at that

VoicesCarry said:

Some of Dangerous is. But quite a bit of it has aged fairly well. I dunno why you had to turn this into an MJ vs Madonna thing anyway. They've both done great and not-so-great music over the years.

As for Invincible... it'll probably survive better than any of his other albums due to the number of ballads on there. They're pretty timeless. And musically tracks like Invincible, 2000 Watts and Privacy sound little like anything else. Whether you like the songs or not is irrelevant.

1. Bedtime Stories
2. Ray Of Light
3. The Immaculate Collection
4. Erotica
5. American Life

Man, I hate the whole "dated" argument. Lots of music sounds dated. Most music made in the 80s sounds dated.

It doesn't make any of it lesser music. There's a lot of music that sounds dated that I'd rather listen to than newer garbage that doesn't sound dated.

Erotica, easy.

E-R-O-T-I-C-A

Is her best and most unappreciated. With the sex book and low sales, it just kinda came and went.

This cd should be in everyones collection. Great collection of songs.
Don't overlook this one.

For many years,this was my favorite Madonna album.But when 'Ray Of Light' came out,I had to change my list...lol....

DavidEye said:

I agree, it happened 2 me too.

I wonder if this will happen the same with "American life". I think it's possible: erotica is more appreciatted by many people today than in 1992
