[You Can Only Listen to 5 Madonna songs for the rest of your life.....]

Jeez, what a toughie....

Crazy For You

Live To Tell

Open Your Heart

This Used To Be My Playground

Get Together

[trouble on ‘A League of Their Own’ set]

Wow! 😳 I wish I could bitch about working with one of my colleagues, and then get paid $3 million to piss off.

[Favorite use of a Madonna song in the movies]

A League Of Their Own. That poignant last scene at the reunion, the fade out, and then This Used To Be My Playground kicks in as the credits roll. Lump in the throat stuff. 

[Which ReIssue Box Set Do You Want First?]

I've got a feeling that these sets won't be released one at a time.

I'm probably way off the mark, but I can see the first four albums (Madonna, Like A Virgin, True Blue, Like A Prayer) released on day one (whenever that may be) with future releases being issued in blocks, ie. two or three sets at a time.

Curtains, can I just say that I really don't know what to say about the megarate polls in the OP that you've asked us to look at. I genuinely don't know which way to vote.

I've gotta admit, I've not gelled with the Discord site. Its been organised with the very best of intentions, but I just find it difficult to navigate and follow over there. At the same time, I don't want to lose the live unveiling results polls that have been such fun over the last few months. So this is one poll I just can't vote in for you.

People are desperate to keep the forum going, because it is such a special place. I've only been a member here for a comparatively short time, but I've found it a wonderful community full of warm, funny and friendly individuals brought together by the same passion - a wonderful artist that's held our attention for years. It's got me down that this place is going, so I really feel for people who have been visiting here for years and built up online rapports with other users from all different corners of the world.

Surely there must be some way of being able to produce a new site, equal to this one, headed up by the current moderators on this site. If I'm making it sound easier than it really is, it's because I'm really not tech savvy, and it's far from my field of expertise. So apologies if there's something I'm not understanding. I'm really just keeping everything crossed that somebody on here comes up with a last minute remedy to either keep it going or start afresh with a brand new site that has a duplicate design that we can all move to.

I was half kidding, but every time I rate some of the songs so low from this album, people come after me. For instance, Secret Garden is track and is getting a big fat zero from me. 

Ah okay. I see what you're saying now. People should be able to express their opinion, but feeling got at for your music preferences isn't on as everyone's choice is personal, so I'm sorry you've been made to feel that way  We're all passionate for Madonna's music which is why we're here in the first place.

Voted! Hoping that there is no more tactical voting, it kills the joy of the ranking reveal. I am still digesting some of the votes for songs from I'm breathless... 

Agreed. I don't see what people have to gain from doing that. Baffling.

Voted. 

 

Erotica is one of my least fav albums so I can't wait to fuck up the votes. 

 

I don't get what you're saying. If you don't like the tracks on the album so you're giving them low scores, how is that going to 'fuck up the votes' ? 

[MEGARATE: Erotica era [Results Show - Recap on first page]]

Voted

It's basically an alternate version of Waiting where Madonna barely sings in and had no involvement in the making process. Plus let's be honest it would have been dead last.

Which is Curtains polite way of saying it's shit. Which it is

That would be fun.  Until now, the highest rated songs are:

#1- Vogue (10,32)
#2- Like a prayer (9,82)
#3- Into the Groove (9,56)
#4- Express Yourself (9,53)
#5- Open Your Heart (9,45)

But if you make a new megarate, just with the top songs against each other, the order would probably change...

That's a brilliant looking top 5!! But I couldnt even begin to try and put them in a favourite order. The final Megarate is gonna be a toughie!

Thanks again for this like always @Curtainsits a lot of fun.

I agree. It's cool that several of us get together for the live unveiling. Makes for a fun and interesting couple of hours. Cheers Curtains!

Curtains.....

Out of interest, once all of these album votes have taken place, are you planning on a Battle Of The Biggest?

A megarate listing all of the Number Ones to find the overall Ultimate Madonna Track

[MEGARATE: I'm Breathless era [Results Show - Recap on first page]]

Vogue was a dead cert. It's among her best ever with one of the best accompanying music videos ever made. A deserved number 1 position!

Well exactly. They looked even bigger on the poster of the same image that my brother had on his bedroom wall back then, lol

#3 – Rescue Me

- Average Rate : 9,30 / 10

- Highest Rate : 11 ( @EgoRod, @Unruhe, @Jet, @Andreo, @GhostOrchid, @spinningaround )

- Lowest Rate : 6 ( @migsou, @Skyline Pigeon )

I'm not the biggest fan of Rescue Me, but I've always thought that image of her on the cover is stunning.

Vogue or Justify My Love for number one?

Vogue. It's gotta be. Justify is a classic but Vogue is the ultimate, mate. That song made 1990.

And when I thought I'm Following You was paid dust, this happens! This deserved top 5 at least! 

Too right. Back In Business is an all-time classic

- Lowest Rate : 4 ( @MadonnaLove, @Dj Garrido, @MadonnasPussy, @Fernando, @Polaris )

Bah! My favourite! 

8th place is pretty decent though, and I knew it wouldnt beat Sooner Or Later or He's A Man. Deserved higher than Hanky Panky, but.
