Drowned World is a real prelude to what is the 'drowned world' inside the tracks of Rol.

Is a complete opera, a perfect track, almost whispered in the beginning with a crescendo in the amazing bridge and then toned down again in the end.

 

The Best ouverture for sure??

@RinoTheBounceryou cruel stud! 

Making me choose just one. :devil:

 

I had to go with Like A Prayer, since it's a really iconic album. But Drowned World/Substitute for Love and Erotica are the other two which I think are exceptional. 

Also if you look at the albums where they all are from, both the opening and closing songs complement the story of the album. 

 

Like A Prayer

 

Opening: Like A Prayer

Closing: Act of Contrition

 

Ray of Light

Opening: Drowned World/Substitute for Love 

Closing: Mer Girl

 

Erotica

Opening: Erotica

Closing: Secret Garden

I would normally would have gone with Erotica or Like a Prayer but Drowned World completely floors me. The opening sounding like you're either ascending into the sky or sinking into the pits of a dark abyss followed by the male voice until Madonna's vocals. So beautiful, haunting and instantly a classic!

where's the opening track He's a Man from the Studio Album®  I'm Breathless? :smile::cryin:

GREAT SONG. Great album opener 

There will be a time when "All work and no play" will be regarded as the greatest 1st line on an album.

Without a second thought
It all became a silly a game
Some things cannot be bought"
