The songs are undeniable but White Heat, Jimmy, and LMTWGR can take a walk. If you replace them with Causing a Commotion, The Look of Love, and Who's that Girl it would be absolutely majestic. 

Essential, iconic and a 80s blockbuster. But terribly overrated at the same time, in my opinion. It's far from perfect and doesn't have the layers and little things to keep discovering with time that most of her other albums have. It's Madonna playing the pop game and achieving commercial perfection, but without her usual edge (except for "Live To Tell"). Also, the mid 80s production doesn't help much - but this happens with all 1986-1988 pop albums, to be honest, most of them sound terribly dated today.
I don't know, I guess you had to experience that era in real time to understand how big it was, maybe? 

The singles are legendary, the album tracks not so much, unlike Like a prayer that has solid album tracks. 

Erotica was a very brave record to make!  Madonna had come off of a string of monster pop records and a string of unprecedented hits (Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue and Like a Prayer) and then she changed lanes entirely.  No other mainstream artist would have ever tried such a thing.  Imagine Michael Jackson, Prince, Britney, Eminem, Tina Turner or Janet ever pulling this off or even attempting on such a scale.  They were all carefully cultivated formulas and never strayed.  Never.
The Erotica album is also shocking in all of the right ways.  Madonna used sex in a way that had never been done on a mainstream stage.  She weaponized sex as the ultimate protest against an unjust society, chipped away at many millenniums of patriarchy, and delivered a scathing review of the ugly truths of inequality that were (are still) infesting in society at large.   Madonna shed more than her clothes to make this record but her very skin, psyche and soul.
Clearly, Erotica is not about being sexy, it is about being powerful, prolific, and protecting others.  It was a also a brilliant response to the intolerance of gay people and the largely ignored AIDS crisis in a time when LGBTQ people were demonized by 90%+ of the world.   Madonna created a safe space within Erotica for all who needed refuge.  
Perhaps Erotica was Madonna's true Opus as it revealed her at her most vulnerable.  It also killed off the Material Girl forever.  I love this record musically but even more so as a blueprint to love and equality.  Years later, M is still a freedom fighter but this was an unprecedented move to trade in the worldwide applause and accolades for the opportunity to lift others and speak the truth.  For me, I suppose that Erotica is the Gospel section of Madonna's life and I appreciated both the message and being invited.  Erotica never really was about Madonna but about reaching out to other people in love.  It was a sort of love letter and it touched me.  Long live the Queen.  

My favorite album! I think it's perfect from start to finish.
Impossible to pick a favorite track... Maybe "Deeper and Deeper" and "Bad Girl", these two songs "knocked me down" when I heard it in 1992 when I was ten years old.
I would cut "Did You Do It?" and perhaps included "Goodbye To Innocence" or "Shame".

Im very curious to see what everyone thinks about this album as a whole and which tracks you especially enjoy. For me Erotica is not only the greatest of Madonna's albums, but in the top ten records ever made my a pop artist. The word masterpiece is thrown around way too freely but this album really makes for such an incredible listening experience. Madonna is at her best here, utterly fearless and artistically controversial. Two of my favorite tracks are Erotica and Rain but I have a hard time picking any that I like best because the whole thing blends together so perfectly. Its the reissue that I am looking forward to more than any other.

It's good. It's not THAT good. 
 
Commenting on collabs...  You have to admit, M doesn't have a great track record with collabs. They're usually not amazing. And the one thing that separates most of these other artists is that they have a "sound" that they usually bring to the collab. Whereas Madonna being the chameleon she's always been... doesn't have that instantly recognizable sound she brings to the table. (What is a Madonna sound?) Her voice changes, her genres change. (Champagne Rose she's a Chinese Robot.)
I think she's missing a big opportunity to not make a Ray of Light part 2.   NOT EXACTLY THE SAME before everyone attacks the idea. But... go watch the Nothing Really Matters video. The visuals, the elements of the song. It's essentially emotional electro house music with pianos playing psychotic chromatic notes in a breakdown. It didn't sound like anything before, and it still doesn't sound like anything now. The vocal harmonies. The background singers. BRING BACK NIKI AND DONNA. a bridge that doesn't seem tacked on as an after thought/or a chore but actually completes the song. Songs that have a personal meaning for her, but are universally understood. I think Crazy is a "catchy" song, but I feel absolutely NOTHING when I listen to it. I don't feel the pain she's singing about. The metaphors are so random that you almost have to study the lyrics to understand what they're going for. It's so try hard and all I can do is wish I was listening to Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. 
 
Ok Im just rambling. 
 
She also needs to properly mix her music.

Thanks to everyone who participated !

Voted!

No photo is about being real, there's always lighting, make up, angles and post production. However it is always debatable if the final result is pleasing, good, achieved the intent of the artist.
The ROL album photoshoot is photoshoped but the result is good, the same goes for the Confessions photoshoot. 
For me, this V photoshoot is just ugly and the theme is tired, not because of the use of photoshop/app/whatever but because the result looks terrible. 

Most underrated: "MDNA". Pure unfiltered Madonna, dance, revenge, pain and fun. All at once.
Most overrated: "True Blue". Sorry, I know it's an essential album and I like it but... there's something very "blockbuster" and "shiny" and "polished" about it. It doesn't have the edge the rest of her albums have. I think it's, by far, her safest album. "Live To Tell" was a huge risk, I'll give her that.

Physical Attraction!

I guess everybody here has seen Madonna´s story in Instagram announcing she is coming to Rio (I´m from Rio) for her birthday party.
I must confess I´m really worried about it, because the Covid-19 pandemy is not over here. And parties (of any kind) are still forbidden all over Brazil (by the governors, ´cause the president is against quarantine). 
Every week we see in the news and in the social media local famous people giving partis and been cancelled by the people who cares about public health. 
Brazil is the second country in the world that most listens to Madonna in Spotify and watches her in YouTube as well. This could have very serious consequences to Madonna´s image here. Brazil is very polarized about those who support vacines and quarantines and hates the president (a tropical Trump) VERSUS people who don´t support vacine and quarantine and support our fascist president. In what side Madonna should be? 

Hey Guys,
So to Celebrate the release of the Digital EP and since we never got a proper extended at the time, I made my own here :

8'40 minutes only using the multitrack and no additionnal production. I tried to surprise the audiance and not just add an intro and an outro but to make a mix that is different than the album version and not being too repetitive or monotonous.
