    It was very interesting to watch this video. Madonna is my all-time favorite artist and I love to hear different opinions about her records. True Blue will always be my #1 album. I adore everything about it. I usually make top 16 Madonna albums (including I'm Breathless and Evita). I'd love to know where would you put I'm Breathless in your top, guys? It's my 5th favorite Madge album

    To me, all Madonna albums have many standout moments, except for Madame X, with no listenable tracks, a career-ending disaster. People's opinions on her music are incredibly varied. It wouldn't surprise me if MDNA is ranked as someone's favorite album, while listing Music as least favorite and calling Ray of Light "dated" is quite unexpected, lol! It's still the best Madonna ranking video, even though I don't agree with some of the comments and rankings. I do agree that her 80s work remains the most timeless, despite also being very reflective of its time.
    My list:
    1. Like A Prayer
    2. Madonna
    3. Ray Of Light
    4. Music
    5. Confessions Of A Dancefloor.
    6. True Blue
    7. Erotica
    8. Rebel Heart
    9. Like A Virgin
    10. American Life

    You guys did the Queen justice! Here’s my take:
    14. Rebel Heart
    13. Hard Candy
    12. Madame X
    11. Confessions on a Dance Floor (as dance albums go, I’m one of the few that prefers MDNA)
    10. American Life (her most divisive effort w/ poor production)
    9. Music
    8. MDNA
    7. Erotica
    6. Like a Prayer
    5. Ray of Light
    4. Bedtime Stories
    3. Like a Virgin
    2. True Blue (plays like a Greatest Hits)
    1. Madonna (the classic gold standard bearer)

  • @toonhkuitjes6382
    @toonhkuitjes6382 3 года назад +9

    I only have her first five albums (plus You can Dance) so can only rate those:
    1. Like a Virgin - simply one of the great pop albums of the 80's
    2. Like a Prayer - going full female empowerment, groundbreaking step for her
    3. Erotica - more of the times, and has some of my favourite songs like Deeper and Deeper
    4. True Blue - she stalled a bit on this record but has some great tunes
    5. Madonna (still an exciting album, was listening to it recently while doing the ironing and she hinted at the ambition she would fully develop on her follow up)

    Another great video. Pretty much agree with most of the rankings/comments on here, though American Life would definitely be in my top 3. I've always considered Hollywood as her Jolene, so for that reason alone its up there as one of my favourites.
    You're right about her music being quite idiosyncratic to what was going on in the charts at the time though (even though it adopted and adapted what was going on sonically/culturally). Take songs like Like A Virgin, Like A Prayer, Erotica and then look at the rest of the charts from that period there was absolutley nothing to compare, she really was unique.
    For me her most interesting album was Erotica. The world was still very much in the grip of the AIDS epidemic at the time and so that icey cold, clinical detachment whilst exploring sexual issues kind of made sense. She got a lot of flack for that album, so that also gives it a special place in my heart.

    The remix of Like A prayer on The Immaculate Collection is just a little more sparkly... it opens with "God", rather than Prince's guitar rift. It also has the "Q Sound" technology, which was supposed to make it all sound three-dimensional (or something). Fun listening to you guys. I also though Madam X was quite adventuresome.

I know that you could say that I'm a boomer, but the punk chick Madonna from the 80s (profile picture says it all, even if it is from 1979) will be forever the best one for me, street girl at it's finest and her music was good.

  • @andremarcs6924
    @andremarcs6924 3 года назад +3

    American Life has been revisited and is loved by many now
    IMO Madonna wasn’t trying to follow trends and sound like everyone else. She took the relevant sounds and turned them into her own on MDNA and rebel heart. She wasn’t trying to sound like lady Gaga, gaga wasn’t even making music as diverse as Madonna was in the early to mid 2010s
    Hard candy is criminally underrated
    Bedtime stories wasn’t her apologising for her sex book, the song “human nature” is literally her stating that she isn’t sorry for any of it, she genuinely felt like making an album that was softer and I’m glad she did it because it’s a great piece of work
    And it’s funny how your top choices were her first three albums, great pop masterpieces especially true blue but her stuff from like a prayer onwards is when she released really artistic albums.
    Also, to me she is a singer songwriter from her very first album as she is a co writer and co producer on every record

    just a comment- Madonna hired William Orbit for Ray of Light based on his work with Caroline Lavelle on her album "Spirit" so if you liked Ray of Light check out Spirit. I personally thought Ray of Light was a top three of her work, along with Madonna and True Blue.

    @SpaceCattttt 3 года назад +6

    She was arguably even bigger in the 90's. Fewer hits on the charts, perhaps, but her influence as an icon was felt more strongly during that decade, I think.
    As for best album? Hmm...I don't think she's done anything worth being aware of since 2000's "Music". Her career seemed to just die after that.
    But I suppose one would have to go with "Like a Prayer" or "Ray of Light" to play it safe. Both are excellent albums, although "Prayer" is a lot more......fun, I guess.
    "Erotica" is underrated, though. That would be the cool (mental) choice.

    My older sister and cousin was fans of Madonna as younger. I didn't follow them with it but when I listenend to a greatest hits from Madonna a while back I liked pretty much everything and recognized most of it. Growing up with MTV Madonna was always there even if it wasn't something I strived for.
    My favorite song is "Live To Tell" as I see other mentions as well. It was a soundtrack to a Sean Penn/Christopher Walken movie I highy recommend called "At Close Range" (1986). If you aren't a Madonna fan I still recommend you to search up the Patrick Leonards (only instrumental) soundtrack to the movie. 80's at it's best for me!

    I'm coming to Madonna from a slightly different angle having picked up The Immaculate Collection, Something To Remember and GHV2 from thrift shops. And since then eight of her studio albums of which I've so far listened to seven. I agree with Kramzer putting Like A Virgin at Number One. Being a Chic fan this was always going to be the one that would bring me the most pleasure. Like A Prayer has good singles but I'm not sure about the other tracks. Erotica coming on the back of Justify My Love sort of moves in the areas I like. While Ray Of Light is a massive disappointment. Frozen made me imagine the album would be a Hounds Of Love come The Sensual World style masterpiece. If you guys ever get around to a Berlin Listography I would thoroughly recommend their Voyeur album from 2002. It sounds like it was inspired by this era. Music to me is a little flat as is American Life. Confessions On A Dance Floor was a return to form. Cherry picking what I know of the rest I'd put Madonna and True Blue in my Top Ten just on the strength of the singles alone. But for now;
    1. Like A Virgin
    2. Erotica
    3. Confessions On A Dance Floor

It has many of her most popular songs plus Justify My Love and Get Into The Groove. Madonna is my 2nd favorite. True Blue, Like A Virgin and Like A Prayer are also high on my list. I’m still listening to the others to see how to rate them. I’m not into the Hard Candy album and I like only one song from Rebel Heart and that’s Devil Pray.

    I really enjoyed this. (I also like leaving in context/memories, so it'll help younger folks know lol!) (I'm a huge). You guys hit the nail on the head with her criticism. She hasn't been as ground breaking to me since 2000 and confessions. Although, I did like the single to Madam X, a lot of co-workers and me thought that the rest of the album fell really flat. I agree with you guys on how her albums are so bland now. What happened? I still tune into her older stuff. My top three would be: True Blue, Confessions on A dance floor, and Ray of Light. I think those 3 cd's were light years ahead of every other female artist that are her contemporaries. Bedtime stories was quite a pleasant surprise (I decided to buy it at around 2010), you never really heard about that CD. But I do remember that the videos from that CD were really overplayed. Her 90's sex stuff was really over critized as a kid, I remember folks screaming at my elementary school when they announced that she was coming with the cd like that in 92. They flashed back clips of her and Marylin Manson on the tv screen. It's Interesting too how other review rankings of her and MJ fell to bring up how crazy there were looked at in the mid 90s. I think it has to do with age. Good memories guys! This really takes me back. Love both her and MJ!

    I have every album of hers including her compilations. I love the latest one plus rebel heart cus alot the songs she writes is what I think about during that time period. The song crave om madam x definitely is one I played alot since I was dealing with feelings for another when I was already married at the time. Alot of her songs on her albums especially during the late 90s and 2000s era are so what I was going through. Forbidden love both on bedtime stories and confessions was my life a few years ago. Like a prayer had to be her most mature album of the 80s. Second was true blue. First 2 are very bubble gum and so 80s. Erotica is so sexual and very in your face about it. Other than a few songs on it. It's in my top 5 favs. Her tours are crazy and no one had the theatrics of a pop singer at the time when her blond ambition tour came out. Now these days everybody put on like a stage performance of there songs. That are pop stars. And she started that. She was the first pop star to have a dancer top less go dance down a pole. In her girlie show tour.

I remember when her debut was released, and you are right, Joe, nothing else really sounded like her at the time. Borderline was the single that really stood out to me. So difficult to separate her early music from her videos, because at that time her videos were as big an artistic statement as her music, probably bigger. Her videos were definitely what shocked people more than the music.

    Only heard Immaculate Collection, Like a Prayer, Ray of Light, Music. Really like Ray of Light. Easily the Madonna I turn to the most. Maybe it doesn't sound like production today, but I think I just really like 90s rave electronic production. Don't hate Music. Never been a fan of "Material Girl" or "Like a Virgin".

    Admire her talent, agree she's influential. I'll also admit to not listening to her much in modern times. Joe mentioned The Immaculate Collection hits set, I'd say that's all the Madonna a lot of us need. Biggest surprise to me: 14 albums. I would not have guessed she'd done that many.

    My top 5 :-
    1. Like a Virgin(alongside Thriller - it's one of the great albums of the 1980s. A great pop album).
    2. Like a Prayer(still very much a pop album, but Like a Prayer adds a spirituality to it).
    3. True Blue(perhaps a bit lightweight in places and trying to do to much of a pastiche - but it's still fun in places).
    4. Erotica(mainly for Vogue and Hanky Panky).
    5. Madonna(decent debut album from her).
