This thread is quite timely for me, whilst on lockdown I’ve been watching her old concerts through the years whilst on my treadmill, and the one I love the most is the ‘The Virgin’ tour, it’s such a simple concert compared to the production they are now but it’s such a joy to watch, particularly ‘Dress you Up’ and ‘Into the groove’. I remember at the time I just wanted to be her, I thought she was the coolest woman on the planet.

WorryWartOne · 27/05/2020 22:22

Where’s the Material Girl love?? Excellent song!

Borderline not one of my faves... Dress You Up, Holiday, Get in to the Groove, La Isla, Deeper and Deeper from the olden days 👵🏼

Frozen, Amazing (again, no mentions, massive choon!), Hung Up, Take a Bow from her more ‘recent‘ stuff... anyone else feeling their age when they realise Hung Up is FIFTEEN years old.

Oh and express yourself!

rayoflightboy · 27/05/2020 22:25

I love this version

And this she had MJ as her date

Crabbo · 27/05/2020 22:26

La Isla Bonita and Like a Prayer!

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 27/05/2020 22:26

If you have a spare hour!

Soen · 27/05/2020 22:48

Like a prayer
Crazy for you
This use to be my playground
La Isla bonita
Oh father
Live to tell

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 27/05/2020 22:50

Like a prayer, no contest

TacosTuesday · 27/05/2020 22:52

Cherish all the way and Material Girl...later For a Girl...I also have a soft spot for the possibly slightly obscure Dick Tracey sound track that she did as well as appearing in it. Haven't listened to it in years and it's probably terrible but still know most of the songs Blush

Honeyroar · 27/05/2020 22:54

I do love Borderline and adored the video when I was a teen, but my top three Madonna would be Like a Prayer, Crazy for You and La Isla Bonita!

ElsasSalamander · 27/05/2020 22:55

Spotify here I come! Madonna featured big in our household. DSis & I spent so many hours learning all the words & making up dance routines to her songs. As kids our favourite tracks were

Dress you up
Angel
Like a Virgin
La Isla Bonita
Papa don’t Preach
Into the Groove
Like a Prayer
Dear Jessie

as an adult the list hasn’t changed much but I would add Live to Tell, Oh Father & Promise to try. In fact I still love virtually all the songs from her first few albums. So many happy memories Smile. Think I will be introducing my DD to Madonna tomorrow!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 27/05/2020 22:55

@Twixes not if you listen to Smooth fm Grin

I agree Borderline is her best!

Shmithecat2 · 27/05/2020 23:52

Even the end of Borderline is perfection! 🎶 'Laa la la la, laa laa la laa, la laa, la la la' 🎶

happyandsingle · 28/05/2020 00:05

Like a prayer and erotica for me.Erotica was a really underrated album.

SimplySteveRedux · 28/05/2020 00:40

I'm changing my order to Rain, Frozen, Live to Tell. Had forgotten the goosebumps Rain causes!

Mummyshark2019 · 28/05/2020 01:02

Agree OP. Old school Madonna was amazing.

EugenesAxe · 28/05/2020 01:05

YABU. Probably my favourite is Live to Tell but I also love Frozen, You'll See and (weirdly) La Isla Bonita. I basically like ones in minor keys that sound a bit vulnerable.

NietzschePeachPearPlum · 28/05/2020 01:14

Heck yes! I thought I was the only one who really rated Borderline!

Also love Ray of Light, Music and Beautiful Stranger.

iamMadameX · 28/05/2020 01:35

Loving the Madonna love, usually gets a hard time on here.

My fav incl. Papa don't preach, Like a prayer, Bad Girl, Rebel Heart, Deeper and Deeper.

She's an amazing performer and love that she hasn't stuck to the same sound.

Loving people talking about her music and remembering how many great songs she has.

Also the videos, tours, tv performances, looks.

Always remember getting the immaculate collection on cd and the video for Xmas and seeing the Blond Ambition Tour on tv made me a fanatic!

So 30 years now, god it's been a journey and I dread the day she gives it up.

Meandyouandyouandme · 28/05/2020 02:08

My first thought was Crazy For You, love the line “ strangers making the most of the dark” then thought of What It Feels Like For A Girl from the Music album and I like Get Together from Confessions on a Dancefloor.

PineconeOfDoom · 28/05/2020 02:33

Agree very much. It’s the only one I actually like.

longtimecomin · 28/05/2020 06:34

Beautiful stranger and hung up
