I COMPLETELY expected this to be in the Top 5. With it's mellow production, it's smooth and svelte vocals over poetic lyrics, this is absolute perfection. I'm glad to see it's gotten a few performances, and I would love to see it be brought back just once. William Orbit's finest production undoubtedly. It's criminally underrated, and even though it's a massive fan favorite, I'm beyond bummed to see it knocked out at only #8. Shame on y'all.

Cuz....
 
slay.

This worries me (especially based on what's left)

Oh my God... Like a prayer or Live to tell is going?!

Wanting, needing, waiting... to know what number 8 is

Say goodbye to #9!!!

Raunchy done right. One of the more iconic Top 10's, what with that video and all. It's got a slinky bassline and fantastic percussion. Her talk-singing is at it's best here, and she sounds absolutely in control and submissive at the same time. Based on the "The Beast Within" mix placing, I was worried about this one. But Madonna's irresistibly salacious attitude and delivery pulled it through to a fantastic spot. Another positive is the controversy it generated. Who doesn't love that? But please, no more JML interludes. Two in a row is too much.

Not bad

Italians do it better tshirt - how can I forget?

Beautiful song, but don't think it deserved to be on Top 10
 

Can't really complain about the placement of Papa Don't Preach, 10 seems appropriate

You requested, and now that I'm away from college work for a bit, say good bye to the first gone from Top 10

Perhaps Madonna's most self-influential track of the 80's, this is the track that gave her the credibility to tackle mature subjects and break free from synthpop, this track is legendary in it's own right. Addressing adult subjects, but still somehow feeling more cheery than not. The strings in this song help to set the tone fantastically, and the vocals and lyrics are on point and in perfect synergy with each other. Totally Top 10.

omg is it gonna be just a song per day in the top 10?!
do you really want to kill us this way?!?

It helped me too... it's not dumb, trust me, it's not. It happens with M as it happens with books, movies and theatre. It's art, it gives us a way to contact and express our deepest resources, feelings and consciousness. Never let your sorrow win your future, the best love - for what I've learnt - is the one that comes from the inside of yourself, if you really look for and take care of that you'll be safe, my friend.
 
I don't want to get into many details but my dad was violent with me and mom since I was 8 (it went on till my 14) and I lived the second part of my childhood in a continous state of fear. Every time he was around. He could be sweet, the best dad in the world, and five minutes later get angry for every shallow whim or stupid joke  a kid can try to make his parents laugh or get their attention, beacuse, yes, I used to play the court jester sometimes. I was a very insicure child, quite probably because I had been adopted and a only child. 
 
Anyway, I never cried, if not after his beating, and of course never talked to anyone, never let my pain out by myself (and unfortunately it's still like that, I can't whatever the problem is). So, the song went out when I was just 11yo and I just started to study English at school (yes, in Italy we still do it that late, shame!). I sat down at my desk in the evenings and, with a dictionary, as a good kid, I started to translate lyrics one song a day. When Oh Father turn arrived, I really could not believe what she was singing, with such a heartfelt voice and beautiful melody and orchestration... of course I suddenly started to think it must have happened to her too, she knows, she overcame it. The fact is I still remeber that evening and that crying.
 
Something like that happened again, in a different way, when I was 13 and 15 and Truth or Dare and Erotica came out: thay laugh at me, they mock me for my being gay, but it's not wrong and some guys have pretty good lives without hiding. Unfortunately I was not able to get pregnant in 1998, but I'm sure that would have worked too!

My story from the last seven years is rocky and very troubled. It started really before seven years when my Dad got his first job since my birth. After work, him and friends would go to the bar. One of his female coworkers slipped things in his drinks and had sex with him. Eventually...it didn't take drugging and he entered a sober affair. Mom found out and there was constant fighting. I was only 5 at the time and I would listen to my parents fight all night. Dad eventually left for three days but came back for my sake. It was quiet for a year. Then one day, Dad passed out on the couch. They rushed him to the ER and he died twice but they shocked his heart back. The hospital ended making a critical mistake causing him to lose his right leg. He was in the hospital and rehabilitation center for a total of 18 months. I saw him 4 times over the course of that time. Little did I know, the father I really grew up to know died in the hospital and was replaced by the man who lives here now. He came home and naturally there was a lot of pain medications for everything. He became addicted to the meds. He is a drug addict now...addicted to those meds. He has repeatedly chosen the meds over us. He and Mom argue more often and violent then ever now. Dad has hit Mom. Dad has come at Mom with a knife. I have suffered strong emotional abuse from him. And it has led me to intense depression. I have became more and more depressed. I self harmed a few times and...I contemplated suicide so much last year. Tried it last year.  I am terrified of losing people. I honestly feel like a burden to people. 
 
The song Oh Father just showed me that someone understood missing love from a parent. That there was someone out there who felt this way to. The song feels like it spoke to me, like it was saying "You are going to be okay. It'll be okay." It stopped me from suicide. I love this song.
 
I know that this is pretty stupid and a dumb reason to love a song, but it is so special to me.
 
Love you all!!
