Which "Studio" Album of Madonna's would you recommend FIRST to a potential new Fan??

[mirtillo 1,930]

True Blue

 

[Confessions Lightside 2,190]

I would recommend "Early Years" (with Otto von Wernherr)

just kidding

[pawn_shop_blues 617]

My friend is a swiftie and I suggested her Ray of light and Confessions. She loved both albums. She also liked Rebel Heart. It totally depends on their music interest and age etc. 

[Confessions Lightside 2,190]

I would recommend "Confessions on a dance floor" too. ^^

If the potential new fan wants to listen to more studio albums, I would choose these:

1. Ray of Light
2. Erotica
3. Like a Virgin
4. Music
5. Madonna
6. Like a Prayer

Sounds like the young lady is growing up and her taste is finally maturing

Confessions, hands down. But the mixed album, not the shitty streaming version with gaps

If you not familiar with someone's music, just start from the begin. Madonna have diverse discography, you could see how she evolved from album to album, it's the only way to know her music 

[aitorelao 153]

I wouldn't start with a studio album. I would just recommend the 2 cd version of Celebration or the DVD (or the Confessions tour DVD) and then let that person decide which tracks/eras to start discovering.

The easy answer would be telling Confessions, Ray Of Light, True Blue or Music but all her albums are so different from each other that starting from a compilation would give that person a bigger perspective to choose where to start from (that's why I also mentioned the music DVD and the Confessions Tour, Madonna's visuals are increible).

[A. A. Aardvark 4,853]

how old is this potential new fan
 

 

[PlayPause 2,713]

Depending on the age of that person, I'd advise either The First Album / TIC / Music / FEL.

Like you, I'd probably suggest the Celebration album due to it has nearly all her biggest impacting hits.  In a lot of cases, people who aren't familiar with Madonna's catalog, they most likely have heard a few songs from her in their life time, but didn't really pay much mind to realize who was singing.  I knew a couple back in the 80's that made Crazy For You "their song", when dating, but they never paid much mind who was actually singing. It wasn't until I told them that it was Madonna, they knew it was her. This was in 1987 when most everyone knew who she was and knew her music to some degree. Chances are most people who aren't familiar with Madonna, may have heard songs like Holiday, Like A Prayer and/or Vogue a few times, not realizing who was singing the song.

The first album, especially since it was made when she wasn’t famous; Her image and music hadn’t been widely exposed to public opinion. I’d probably swap out the album version of “borderline” with the single remix then watch the potential fan’s eyes glaze over as I explain why Madonna insisted on remixing the single with jellybean after Reggie Lucas peaced out on additional production since he’d fulfilled his contractual album obligations.

Confessions and after, True Blue I think.

Who's this woman i always see on gifs, it seems so funny. Is it a reality show ? I wanna see it !

BIG ANG 💖 Gif legend.

She started on the second season of the VH1 reality show, Mob Wives. Passed away a few years ago. Miss her.

It really depends on the genre or other artists they tend to listen to. What makes Madonna so great is the fact that there is an album for everyone.

In general I would always recommend on of these three:

Like A Prayer - Ray Of Light - Confessions On A Dance Floor

[Robertthenurse 2,956]

1. Erotica

2. Ray of Light

3. Like a Virgin

I think you are right. Or start with a YouTube playlist of her music videos in chronological order. Madonna is a visual experience.
