Top Madonna songs on Radio 2 - anyone else listened to this?

[MerryMidwinter]

Great countdown, I really enjoyed it and wasn't too surprised at No 1. I'm now watching her 85 tour on Youtube - I was a massive fan but she's not actually a very good singer or dancer when you look back. That said she was incredibly cool and inspiring for a young teen, there was nobody like her - not in my small town world anyway. It's sad that she's felt the need to change so much over the years.

Top 3 Madonna songs? Mine would be Crazy for You, Like a Prayer and Into the Groove in no particular order.

I am the same age as you and agree about the Ray of Light album! I think it's one of my favourite of hers. I saw her live in concert in Nice, during her Blonde Ambition tour and it was amazing.

Top songs:

La Isla Bonita
Oh Father
Frozen

My top three
Hung Up
Beautiful Stranger
Ray of Light.

Into the groove
Frozen
Borderline

Haven't listened to show but assume this is the same list

Just remembered another one that I love from Ray of Light: The power of goodbye 😍

Like a Prayer
Music (the Confessions tour live disco inferno version)
Erotica (the Confessions tour live version)

she was an amazing dancer

Who's that girl?
Into the groove.
Like a prayer
Frozen
Oh Father
Open your heart
Dress you up
Causing a commotion

Are the favourites that spring to mind. Am sure there are so many more though, and am always so surprised when I listen to her ballads album just how strong they are.
I think 80's and early 90's Madonna is just amazing and it takes me right back to that time when I hear the songs from that time. After that I probably only liked a handful of songs. I did love hung up though. 😀

Just realised I listed way more than 3! Honestly don't think I can narrow it down. 😆

My top 3 would be :
1.Material Girl, 2. Dress you up 3. Holiday

I used to love dressing like her - the lace gloves and crop tops, mini skirts over leggings, tons of bangles and a big crucifix.

Her’s was my first ever concert - Roundhay Park, Leeds in the mid 80s, think it was the Who’s that Girl tour. Then I saw her again at Wembley for Blonde Ambition but she felt much slicker and more manufactured then although still a great show.

Dear Jessie
Rain.
Sorry

Ray of Light, Vogue and Frozen for me.

I too was at the Roundhay Park concert … probably in my fingerless lace gloves!

Oh, so many. At the time she came out I was a cool teenager and wasn't interested; now I look back and just enjoy the great songs and
nostalgia for better days. And as I'm an old fart I think: "I wish music was still like that... it's so crap now"

My top three would be:
Borderline
Ray of Light
Beautiful Stranger

It struck me how polished and slick today’s performers are compared to her in her early days - she became more so later on but in the ‘85 tour her dancing is pretty basic. Still loved her though!

I grew up on Madonna cassette albums, True Blue was the first album I ever bought. I had lace gloves and string of beads. It’s very hard to pick 3 favourite songs as they change all the time, but my top 3 right now are:

Miles Away
Bad Girl
Cherish (ultimate happy song)
