You're absolutely right, that era was madness. News and music about her were everywhere all the time. It was impossible not to know her music and life back then because she was omnipresent. That was something that lasted more or less until the release of Erotica

The only two carols I can stand are Madonna's 'Santa Baby' and Boney M's 'Feliz Navidad'.

I understand you perfectly, believe me.

But that could be because some streaming service might have paid for exclusive rights to it, like with the Blond Ambition Tour and Pioneer 30 years ago.

Don't kill BD players just yet. Vinyl, CDs, and DVDs have all been declared dead, but they’re still going strong. The physical market may be shrinking, but that doesn’t mean it’s dead; it’s just going to be reduced to collectors and audiophiles. BD-Audio can be played perfectly on any Blu-ray player, but you need an Atmos Home Cinema or similar, theoretically. As far as I know, no specific BD-Audio player has been created. Maybe you’re referring to UHD players (4K).

Am I the only one who is happy with the reissues of Madonna's singles on streaming? Because many of them are hard to find new and are out of print. This is the only time all of her singles have been re-released (excluding the Japanese box and the yellow CDs).

I don’t quite understand you. Normally, 6 speakers is 5.1, 8 speakers is 7.1..... What sometimes happens is that some people ruin the original work in the new remix. I still cry over Prince's 'Diamonds and Pearls' Atmos mix (5.1) because it's atrocious. However, the TIC Atmos mix (4.0) is really good..

It's also available on TIDAL

Quadraphonic recordings on vinyl, cassette, or CD are always in STEREO, but the other two surround channels are matrix encoded. Therefore, you need a decoder. Do you remember VHS with Dolby Surround sound? It uses the same system. It's now that technology allows each track to be discretely separated inexpensively (4.0, 5.1, 7.1, 9.2.4, etc, etc, etc) Sorry if I'm getting too technical. I have a simple 7.1 setup on my computer. It doesn't sound like the cinema, but it's effective enough and cheaply made (I also have an expensive professional Atmos decoder, but I still have it sealed because, for now, my PC setup is sufficient.).

I don't know. It's iconic, but I've always hated the fake ponytail. I always love her with a little mane like this:

People may not yet understand that in real life, they hear various sounds from different sources, not just from 2 but even from 50 different sources when they are, for example, at a party. It's sad that they confuse the fact that humans have two ears with receiving sound from only two sources.

Well, Madonna also wore a fake ponytail during the Blond Ambition Tour.

I have always suspected that the comic character is based on Madonna from the Blond Ambition Tour. It wouldn't be the first time a Marvel character (hero or villain) is based on someone famous (Iron Man - Howard Hughes, Kingpin - Sydney Greenstreet, Doctor Strange - Vincent Price, Professor X - Yul Brynner, Monica Rambeau - Pam Grier, etc, etc, etc).

So it's legit then. Good to know. Thanks for the info @Would You Like To Try
