If you could only have one... 20th or 21st Century Madonna.  Which one?  Either way, you would lose half of M's studio work. It is a no brainer for me until I factor in the tours.  Then... it is a hellish decision. 

20th Century

1. Madonna

2. Like a Virgin / The Virgin Tour

3. True Blue / Who's That Girl Tour

4. Like a Prayer / Blond Ambition

5. Erotica / The Girlie Show

6. Bedtime Stories

7. Ray of Light

21st Century

8. Music / Drowned World Tour

9. American Life / The Reinvention Tour

10. Confessions on a Dancefloor / The Confessions Tour

11. Hard Candy / The Sticky and Sweet Tour

12. MDNA / The MDNA Tour

13. Rebel Heart / The Rebel Heart Tour

14. "Magic" / "Tour?"

20th.... it was when Madonna was truly Madonna, and the music was 10000 times better

'ye want the truth ?
There's 'albums' on the 2nd List I still haven't exactly played through.
The 1st list, I sorta know a Bit Better.
There IS things hidden away on the later stuff [one more time = dance 2night !] but they Would have been Singles back then.
Now Our Madge is lost in all the hits, a little.
My bones may creak or is it this chair but Older Viewers will know 'wot' it was like to be this 'wumman' on a dance-floor.
"I HAVE TO TELL U HERE !", I once heard as I was almost dragged on.
WHY ?
'No one else can hear !'
U want the song too ? :laughing::laughing:

Tour-wise it’s 100% the 21st century, no question.

However! When it comes to the music I feel torn. Even though 3/5 of my top5 M albums are in the 21st century (COADF, AL, HC) the 20th century not only features 2/5 (LAP & ROL, which is my no1), but it also includes 2 extremely underrated, artistic masterpieces (BS & Erotica) which effortlessly compete with my main top5 picks... 

 

And that, ladies & gentlemen, is the power of Madonna! ?

:smokey:

21th cuz Madonna never stopped pushing boundaries and evolving as an artist. 

Her music adapted with the times and anticipated many new sounds and trends of 21th century. Her lyrics became more mature and her tours got elaborated backdrop videos, stage designs and interludes made by her dancers. 

She basically got upgraded int he 21th century and she ensured the crown of Queen of Music for ever. She outlasted everyone and her art never stopped to be relevant and influence others.

This is too easy.

20th century, of course.

Three masterpieces: Like a Prayer, Erotica and Ray of Light.

Artistic and brilliant music videos, most of the time. Even simple stuff like Lucky Star shits on many 2000s/2010s  Madonna videos.

Great hits, great music, great looks, great tours...

And Madonna's natural voice that isn't auto-tuned or whatever. 

Madonna evolving from an artist with simple pop songs to the artist with more complex and better music.

No constant features, no Madonna being a mess on Instagram.

Not contradicting herself like in the 2010s - calling some older songs cheesy, then making cheesy and basic songs.
