Today I learnt something new: that Into the groove was not originally in LAV , I was gonna say it's my fav song, I'm such a flop fan

dress you up is kick ass too

[Fighter 28,798]

woah i didnt know these facts.. i did know ITG wasnt from LAV though     

 

my fave is over and over

[NowRadiate 3,331]

Two favs:

Angel and Dress You Up

 

If Into The Groove was originally included, I'd pick that one.

Yep, "Into The Grove" was included on the 1985 (Non-U.S.) re-issue.  In short, this is the song that pretty much catapulted her in the U.K. and many other nations. Before this, Madonna was a U.S. phenomenon.

Awesome and my two faves would be Dress You Up and MG.

I think the song I listen the most is 'Dress You Up', it gives me good vibe; however, the last rock version she did in 2009 did not impress me that much. It does not surprise me she dropped it from the RIT setlist. I wish she would sing other tracks from that record, but it seems impossible nowadays.

I loved the rock version of DRESS YOU UP, and I love when she does rock versions of her past songs. I guess I'm one of the few fans who do. I was in heaven when she did "Burning Up"  on RIT! 

 

"Dress You Up" and "Stay" are my two most favorite from LAV.  Of course, I enjoy the others, but oddly, I am not a huge fan of "Like A Virgin" the song.

Burning was spot on, well sung... or at least it had that 'surprise factor' that neither Borderline nor Dress You Up had during S&S which were awfully off key   I think 'Gambler' from the same LAV period we're talking about would work well in a rock style.

I will agree that "Borderline" was sort of a mess, even though it was cool to see her re-invent that and perform it since it hasn't been performed since the VIRGIN TOUR.  Speaking of the VIRGIN TOUR, "Gambler" was pretty much performed in a rock format for that tour. It's one of my favorite performances from that show.
