I flipping love Borderline! Underrated and under-played

Bad Girl is one of my favourites. Christopher Walken in the video as the tap dancing ghost was good. Let’s face it though,when you’re on your own in the car and any Madonna song comes on,we all turn it up and sing with scary enthusiasm! It’s the only thing you can do

I think if I played the Like a Prayer album and sniffed the scented cover of the album, I would immediately be transported to the school trip I went on when it was newly released, and I listened to it constantly on my fancy brand new Walkman. Until the batteries ran out and it was playing at about half speed...

Hell, no. Far too repetitive.

For me it would be 'Ray of Light', 'Respect Yourself' and I quite like 'Live to Tell' and 'Like a Prayer'. As for the early stuff, 'Holiday' never fails to put me in a good mood, in the same sort of way most tracks by The Pixies do!

I'm normally a rock and classical fan. But Madonna is a stand-out. When she first arrived on the scene I don't believe anyone had seen a female artist quite like her before. I also loved Desperately Seeking Susanand was quite upset when the actor who played Gary Glass, 'Spa King of New Jersey', died of CV19 this year. He was brilliant.

I agree OP, Borderline is my favourite, along with Dear Jessie.

I love all her early stuff, Dress you Up and Causing a Commotion are two of my faves.

Actually, Borderline is great, but it would be better if she had sung it later when she had a much stronger voice, if you know what I mean. Her voice when she started out was very thin and weak. Then she obviously had training and her voice improved.

I love the version she sings on Jimmy Fallon,its gorgeous.

My favourite is Bad Girl and Whiteheat.

Just RTFT and am laughing my socks off at the error in the album title 'Immaculate Conception'. By an artist called 'Madonna'. Ha ha, that's brilliant (and yes, small things do amuse small minds Grin Grin

I can barely choose a favourite song from the Immaculate Collection!

SimplySteveRedux · 27/05/2020 22:14

Hmm, think Something to Remember is my fave album though, have just been reminded how many absolute gems are on there. I also used to call The Immaculate Conception, completely unaware why people sniggered at my 13 yo self Grin

I love her Madame X album,its beautiul.

I love Crave and looking for Mercy.

Also Ghosttown would have been a major hit if anyone else released it.

Open your heart is my fave - total pop tuuuuune! Followed by like a prayer and hung up - hung up probs because I love the dancing in the video and the Abba backtrack.

I think cherish is rubbish - amazing how tastes differ.

Should have said - not her dancing in hung up, the others in the video!
