  1. Here I am. MDNA is imho her worst album, but Rebel Heart is not better.
  2. I disagree. If it's an album it's shit. If it's just a soundtrack it's still shit :-)
  3. Well, probably 4 MINUTES. Hated by several fans, even though it was a massive hit... in fact, it's still pretty popular.
  4. One that got popular: True Blue. Fan favorite: True Blue/Like A Prayer/Erotica/Ray of Light/Confessions. Experimental: Music. Cult classic: Erotica/American Life. Best album of all time: don't know. Meh: I'm Breathless/MDNA/Rebel Heart/Madame X.
  5. Well, considering that on Spotify it's her most successful album, it could be...
  6. Of course you're allowed to like it. But it doesn't change anything. It's still a bad album
  7. Well, I find LOVE SPENT unlistenable... to each his own.
  8. Well, I still read A LOT of sh*t about tracks such as Take a Bow, Ray of Light, American Pie, Don't Tell Me, Jump, Give It 2 Me, and I honestly don't get the hate... anyway, they are successful singles that are still performing pretty well on Spotify, therefore all those negative opinions from some "fans" won't change anything; they must be same people who praise garbage such as I'm Breathless, MDNA, Rebel Heart and Madame X
  9. Yeah, let me think about it... oh wait, it's such a great album that: Madonna "sang" only two tracks on Blond Ambition Tour (the awful Hanky Panky as well as Sooner or Later): ok, there's Vogue but let's face it, it really doesn't belong to the soundtrack. it had just one single with video: even Who's That Girl had three singles... but let me guess: forgettable tracks such as He's a Man, Back in Business deserved a video, right? Oh yeah, they would have been such powerful hits :-D often forgotten by critics and general public; worst selling album on ITunes; least reproduced album on Spotify; and so on. And it's not a product of an awesome time: it's just a cheap, coarse album, done in a hurry for the promotion of a forgettable blockbuster... I guess nostalgia is playing an important role on your passion for that chore, but it doesn't change the fact that, Vogue aside, I'm Breathless is her worst album, along with MDNA, Rebel and Madame X. Anyway, it tells me a lot about your musical tastes, as well as your personality
  10. Yeah, Cry Baby, I'm Going Bananas, Hanky Panky, Now I'm etc etc better than Hung Up, Sorry, Don't Tell Me and Music And let's not forget the Blond Ambition's Dick Tracy segment, better than the whole Confessions Tour Madonna fans, they are an unbelievable source of unintentionally fun
  11. Sorry, I don't care about the opinion of a fan who thinks Confessions is Madonna's worst album :-)
  12. Anyway, my personal list, from best to worst. 1. Confessions: perfection from start to finish. 2. True Blue: five legendary singles, and while the fillers aren't all that great, they are still enjoyable - with the exception of Love Makes etc etc. 3. Erotica: Some of her most underrated singles, and an explosive production from Pettibone and Betts. 4. The First Album: again, perfection from start to finish... what a timeless sound... 5. Music: her most experimental work, I just complain about Amazing and Runaway Lover because they sound like Ray of Light's outtakes, but the rest is simply amazing. And I happen to love American Pie and Cyberraga. 6. Like a Virgin: ok, it's a little dated, and some tracks didn't age well, but Angel and Dress You Up are still among my favourite singles from the '80s. 7. Like a Prayer: the title track is probably her best song ever, but the rest of the tracklist is not among my favourite Madonna's works. 8. Ray of Light: I love the singles and Sky Fits Heaven, but, even though I occasionaly listen to Swim, Skin, etc etc, unfortunately the rest doesn't work for me... am I the only one who found Little Star, To Have etc etc, Mer Girl, Has To Be BORING? 9. Hard Candy: well, it's funny, I won't apologize for saying this :-) 10. Bedtime Stories: sorry, it's a hit or miss album. But Secret is still one of my favourite songs. 11, American Life: while I somewhat appreciate it from start to finish, I think it totally lacks a killer track, a real unforgettable song. And now her worst albums, that I never listen to. 12. Madame X: too much autotune/vocoder as well as bad vocals. 13. Rebel Heart: what a mess, the demos were one billion times better. 14. MDNA: I like I'm Addicted and Gang Bang. Period. 15. I'm Breathless: I listen to Vogue, I skip the rest... what a grating, cheesy, coarse, irritating, rushed soundtrack.
  13. Well, the only overrated thing about Music, is the Above & Beyond remix of WIFLFAG. Fact :-)
  14. I guess I'm the only fan who prefers Hard Candy to MDNA/Rebel Heart/Madame X. By far and by large. Hard Candy may not be her best, but it's still a good, solid, funny album full of bops, as well as some musical coherence from start to finish... it's not perfect, and the two ballads are way too similar to Timberlake/Furtado's ones, but I really appreciate Pharrell's production, in particular Beat Goes On and She's Not Me.
  15. Well, the single wasn't a success in the '90s, and on Spotify it's not even on her top 100. It's just overrated by the fanbase.
  16. I somewhat agree. To me Bedtime Stories is good, but definitely not great. I guess its perception is helped by its great videos, but the tracklist is hit or miss; I love Secret, Bedtime Story, Sanctuary, Take a Bow, Survival, but the rest is... er... not that great. Don't Stop and I'd Rather etc etc are among her worst '90 songs, and I don't get the appeal of Forbidden Love or Love Tried To Welcome Me either: the production is not bad, but there's something that bores me. Unpopular opinion: Human Nature could be one of her best video, but the track itself is just fine, nothing else.
  17. With the exception of VOGUE, I'd say I'M BREATHLESS is her worst album.
  18. THIS USED TO BE MY PLAYGROUND... don't misunderstand me; I like it, but IMHO it hasn't aged very well.
