  1. In 1990 I hated I'm Breathless 'cause I was expecting an album entirely produced by Pettibone, but after thirty years... well, I still hate it To me, it's just a rushed album, a compilation of cheesy songs; never get the appeal. Back on topic. Pretender, Jimmy Jimmy, How High, Over and Over, One More Chance, I'm So Stupid, Celebration, Intervention, etc etc: I don't think they are all that great, but they are good/funny tracks anyway. And I still dislike almost everything from the last ten years.
  2. If you're able to appreciate bland songs such as Amazing and Runaway Lover (the worst tracks on Music), you should do the same with I Deserve It, WIFLFAG, and Impressive Instant, which are one billion times better
  3. What a shame she ruined everything with bad vocals and unnecessary autotune/vocoder...
  4. I don't think it's overrated, just overhyped: some fans and non-fans act as if Ray of Light was her last great album, or even her only great work. And I have to disagree; while it's a great album per se, it's not her best; way too many boring songs...
  5. Agree; for instance, I fuc*ing love NOBODY'S PERFECT.
  6. Falling Free is boring. Masterpiece is flat. Love Spent is unlistenable. Girl Gone Wild is trash. Beautiful Killer is a rip-off of Die Another Day
  7. 1. Confessions 2. Erotica 3. True Blue 4. Music 5. Madonna
  8. And let me guess: the bland production of Rebel Heart is superior than Music's one? Music, Don't Tell Me, Impressive Instant, I Deserve It etc etc are average tracks whereas total garbage such as Veni Vidi Vici, Iconic, Sex, the two Bitch etc etc are outstanding songs? And the uninspired musical arrangements of Rebel Heart, Best Night, Borrowed Time etc etc are superior than Mirwais' experimental sound? Thanks for the laughs. Also, if you complain about the vocoder and autotune in Music then you can't praise Madame X... in Madame X the vocal effects are irritatingly ubiquitous, ruining the album potential. Anyway, sometimes I'd love to understand some fans' "logic", who praise total failures such as Rebel Heart while trashing fine works such as Erotica or Music... you don't like Music and Confessions and that's perfectly fine, but artistically, critically and commercially, they are successful albums. Can we say the same for Rebel Heart and Madame X? No.
  9. Yeah, if only we ignore the existence of the critically acclaimed, commercially successful Music and Confessions on a Dancefloor
  10. A very weak decade, but there are some good songs. In not particular order: GANG BANG I'M ADDICTED GHOSTOWN BODY SHOP (yeah, really) MESSIAH CRAVE CRAZY CIAO BELLA GOD CONTROL I DON'T SEARCH I FIND.
  11. Sorry if I hurt your feelings everytime I trash MDNA and Rebel Heart
  12. I don't know the rest of the world, but in Italy I'll Remember is still played at the radio stations, same with Causing A Commotion, Jump, Give It 2 Me and You'll See; therefore I wouldn't call them "underrated"... in fact, it seems to me that they are appreciated by casual listeners, as proven by Spotify streaming numbers and Youtube visualizations. Underrated singles? Well, a lot; Angel, Gambler, Rain, Deeper And Deeper, Bad Girl, The Look Of Love, Oh Father, Bedtime Story, Nothing Really Matters, Drowned World, What It Feels Like For A Girl (unpopular opinion: the video remix is forgettably generic and it didn't help the track), Impressive Instant (yeah, I know it was only promotional), I Want You, Get Together (it deserved a better video) could and should have been more successful. As far as Human Nature, Keep It Together, Hollywood, Love Profusion, Die Another Day, American Life, One More Chance, Nothing Fails, Miles Away, Fever, Love Don't Live Here Anymore and Rescue Me are concerned, sorry, to me are just ok songs, nothing else. And Masterpiece is a bland, overrated ballad.
  13. Well, while I don't think that Nothing Fails is a bad song (just an ok ballad) I don't get all the praise such as "Madonna most underrated song!", "One of her best ballads!" or "Should have been American Life's lead single!"... come on, any ballad on Music is vastly superior.
