I'll have to go with Confessions. 
 
Followed by American Life. 
 
Thirded by Music. 

If I have to pick just one, I have to say Erotica. Since it's release it has given me so much joy and comfort, it's timeless.

Voted ROL.
Love the most:

My gosh, it's a tie between American Life and Confessions. Confessions is definitely the most nostalgic album for me, since I followed the entire era from the beginning to end. I still remember waiting for the new singles to be released so I can listen to the remixes. All of those club remixes will have a special place for me, and I refuse to remove certain ones from my phone, no matter how much space they are taking up! Also, The Confessions Tour is definitely the best tour I have ever listened to - especially the officially released DVD/CD; the vocals, live band and mastering are all stellar! But American Life is what initially made me a fan. I remember hearing Hollywood back in the day when I was like 6 years old and instantly falling in love with it. With this album too I loved the club mixes, but those came later after I started to get into club music with Confessions. I honestly cannot choose. Oh and, of course, there are the gems that are Ray of Light and Erotica, both of which I later got into and made me into the superfan that I am today
 
I guess if I had to choose I would pick Confessions.

I go with Confessions. This album make me love Madonna so much.  
 
My Top 3 are, for sure, Confessions followed by ROL and True Blue.

Madonna‘s Living For Love earns the first top 10 entering at #8 on the Swedish Digital chart! http://sverigesradio.se/sida/topplista.aspx?programid=2697   All the others 5 songs also charted:   Devil Pray #14 Ghosttown #20 Unapologetic Bitch #28 Illuminati #29 Bitch I’m Madonna #30

Donatella Versace Spills The Tea on Madonna http://drownedmadonna.com/donatella-versace-madonna-devolved-proceeds-hospital-malawi/20141228 Donatella Versace reveals that Madonna requested that the proceeds of her new Versace‘s campaign was devolved to her hospital in Malawi.   It is part of what Donatella Versace told in an interview to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.   In her latest tour she [Madonna] was not well and she knew it. She had some problems. I never saw her this way. Donatella Versace “One day she [Madonna] told me that she was recording her new album, and she never says anything without any reason,†says Donatella. “So I understood and I immediately asked her: ‘Do you want to do something together?’ And she replied: ‘Yes, I want to be incredibly beautiful.'†  That’s how the new Versace‘s campaign came out, according to Donatella, who probably fictionalized it a bit.   “I knew that she [Madonna] would be trashed, but at the end all those young popstars want to be her or better than her,†adds Donatella. “Who doesn’t want to be pretty, powerful and famous like her at 50 years old?†  On the set in New York, she [Madonna] did it all alone.   Donatella added that Madonna didn’t want a lot of retouching. “She could have look like a 30 y/o,†says Donatella. “Instead she looks like a 40-45 y/o. Her abdomen was not retouched. Neither her arms were smoothed.†  I want you to look like I know you: a fragile woman with her fears, who suffers from loneliness, but, at the same time, is strong, resolute and brave. Donatella Versace Then Donatella confessed that they are good friends since the death of Gianni Versace. “When my brother died, I took a night flight to Miami. And, when I arrived, Madonna was there… at Gianni‘s villas. I will never forget it.†  “And I was outside the delivery room for Lola and Rocco,†added Donatella.

Why Madonna Still Matters
 
Earlier this week, Madonna pulled a Beyoncé by releasing six new tracks off her forthcoming album with no announcement. The move comes after the songs were first leaked, an act the singer called â€œterrorism†and “artistic rape.†The songs, which include the Nicki Minaj collaboration “Bitch, I’m Madonna,†quickly rose to the top of the iTunes charts, holding the top six spots in over 20 countries.
 
While international success is nothing new to Madonna, it’s increasingly against the cultural narrative of her as a leftover of ‘80s detritus. While every female pop artist of the last thirty years owes her a great debt, she’s often portrayed as too old, too eager, or too lacking in the energy and depth that first made her a success. The top listing for Madonna on Urban Dictionary defines the artist as “an extremely talented marketer, who over more than twenty years has excelled in the aggressive selling of an otherwise not particularly desirable product—herself.â€
 
Which is a pretty astonishing summary of a career once lauded as the most influential female role in pop music. Despite her critics, Madonna remains the last and best bastion of the '80s and '90s music. Largely defining the past three decades of pop music, Madonna remains the most emblematic icon for Generation X, the middle child of American culture. Squeezed between the behemoth populations of baby boomers and millennials, GenX knows they need to savor their cultural heritage—hence Madonna’s continued triumph.
 
Fairly or not, Generation X is often tossed between the hedonism of hair metal and the lackluster antipathy of grunge. The legacy of the 1980s as a decade is one of smarm, camp, and a plasticine devotion to novelty—and the music hasn’t fared much better. While grunge was the failed rebellion in the face of ‘80s decadence, Madonna reigned through both eras as a moralistic insurgent in the jungle.
 
She was subdued where metal was boisterous, delicate where hip-hop was stern, and activated where grunge was lazy. She could sit-in on Nightline and debate obscenity as well as she could negotiate an interview with a drunkenCourtney Love. She was the first gay icon to actually embrace gay rights and completely restructure how sexuality is talked about. To this day, she’’s been a consistent lighting rod who loves to be struck, as energized by Nicki Minaj as she is by Pussy Riot.
 
Which makes her a standout among ‘80s icons. While the signs of boomer nostalgia never seem to fade and millennials still hold center stage (for now), the musical icons of Generation X, to paraphrase Neil Young’s famous line, have either burnt out, faded away, or both.
 
Michael Jackson is dead. Chinese Democracy was released—and it sucked. The Foo Fighters are now bigger than Nirvana ever was. The bravado and aggression—the revolutionary excitement—of early rap is now fodder forJimmy Fallon. Even heavy metal, which once shocked with Satanic allusions and sexual deviance, is more likely to host a theme cruise than remind anyone of revolt. The cultural peaks of Generation X’s lifespan are either buried or lost in the fog of ornamental relevance.
 
Even Prince, that mystical warrior of funk and sex, suddenly finds himself fighting the passage of time in a geezer-like manner. He and Madonna seem like natural counterparts; each focused heavily on sexuality, thinning out the borders between genders, ethnicities, and the expectations of a black or female artist. Yet his career and influence wanes as he tries (and fails) to sue his own fans for wanting to buy music in the 21st century.
 
And while one must strain to hear any of Prince’s original ideas survive into the pop music of today, Madonna is scattered through every major act of the last 15 years. If Madonna were to start her career today instead of in 1983, she’d appear to be a mashup of every major artist currently working: The bold iconography of Beyoncé, the feminine lightness of Taylor Swift, the dour theatrics of Lorde, the dancefloor sensibility of Rihanna, the pipes of Ariana Grande, and the artistic extremism of Lady Gaga. Madonna’s influence on American pop music is almost smothering in its totality.
 
One of the biggest factors in this influence is not simply her talent but the context in which she thrived. Looking back from today, it’s hard to imagine a time when the vast majority of the top artists in the world were men. Earlier this year, Billboard celebrated a record five weeks where all of the top five artists on the Hot 100 were women. In their annual ranking of the most powerful musicians, Forbes had three female acts in the top five—with Beyoncé holding the number one spot.
 
As Today's Tom Sclafani once remarked, “before Madonna, most music mega-stars were guy rockers; after her, almost all would be female singers.†In 1983, Madonna entered a world dominated by Michael Jackson, The Police, and the likes of Def Leppard. This was before the golden age of R&B that would bring Whitney Houston and well after the death of disco and its divas. Sure, you had your Cyndi Lauper, your Pat Benatar, your Chaka Kahn. But Madonna reached a superstar status unrivaled by any of her female colleagues.
 
This means she largely built the only framework for the female pop star, fundamentally altering all that comes after her and nearly embarrassing all that came before. In this way, she’s the iPhone of pop stars: not merely succeeding in the market but demolishing and rebuilding the market in their own image.
 
Which is why Generation X won’t let her go. So much of ‘80s and early ‘90s culture was built on self-gratification and a tendency towards the absurd. Madonna is the only performer still standing after that torrent of selfishness, that epoch of pointless grandiosity. She’s the last lighthouse ushering GenXers in from an existential sea, offering merely the opportunity for an identity not built on the dead or disgraced.

Thanks for posting these updates groovyguy!

https://twitter.com/guyoseary/status/549004778118717441 Guy Oseary Verified account â€@guyoseary I will be answering questions for the next 15 minutes regarding @madonna #RebelHeart release.. Ask away.

You can't request links.....nothing....zero.....zilch!Comprende????Bloody newbies fishing for leaked stuff....Don't get the forum shut down!

Madonna said in an interview that the feat. version would be included in the remixes set that will be out soon. As much as I enjoy old and new unreleased stuff I HOPE nothing else is leaked. What is going on?? Why is the investigation taking so long??

"Apparently", imo it's just bullshit made out of nothing, as usual.

Why Madonna Still Matters
 
Earlier this week, Madonna pulled a Beyoncé by releasing six new tracks off her forthcoming album with no announcement. The move comes after the songs were first leaked, an act the singer called â€œterrorism†and “artistic rape.†The songs, which include the Nicki Minaj collaboration “Bitch, I’m Madonna,†quickly rose to the top of the iTunes charts, holding the top six spots in over 20 countries.
 
While international success is nothing new to Madonna, it’s increasingly against the cultural narrative of her as a leftover of ‘80s detritus. While every female pop artist of the last thirty years owes her a great debt, she’s often portrayed as too old, too eager, or too lacking in the energy and depth that first made her a success. The top listing for Madonna on Urban Dictionary defines the artist as “an extremely talented marketer, who over more than twenty years has excelled in the aggressive selling of an otherwise not particularly desirable product—herself.â€
 
Which is a pretty astonishing summary of a career once lauded as the most influential female role in pop music. Despite her critics, Madonna remains the last and best bastion of the '80s and '90s music. Largely defining the past three decades of pop music, Madonna remains the most emblematic icon for Generation X, the middle child of American culture. Squeezed between the behemoth populations of baby boomers and millennials, GenX knows they need to savor their cultural heritage—hence Madonna’s continued triumph.
 
Fairly or not, Generation X is often tossed between the hedonism of hair metal and the lackluster antipathy of grunge. The legacy of the 1980s as a decade is one of smarm, camp, and a plasticine devotion to novelty—and the music hasn’t fared much better. While grunge was the failed rebellion in the face of ‘80s decadence, Madonna reigned through both eras as a moralistic insurgent in the jungle.
 
She was subdued where metal was boisterous, delicate where hip-hop was stern, and activated where grunge was lazy. She could sit-in on Nightline and debate obscenity as well as she could negotiate an interview with a drunkenCourtney Love. She was the first gay icon to actually embrace gay rights and completely restructure how sexuality is talked about. To this day, she’’s been a consistent lighting rod who loves to be struck, as energized by Nicki Minaj as she is by Pussy Riot.
 
Which makes her a standout among ‘80s icons. While the signs of boomer nostalgia never seem to fade and millennials still hold center stage (for now), the musical icons of Generation X, to paraphrase Neil Young’s famous line, have either burnt out, faded away, or both.
 
Michael Jackson is dead. Chinese Democracy was released—and it sucked. The Foo Fighters are now bigger than Nirvana ever was. The bravado and aggression—the revolutionary excitement—of early rap is now fodder forJimmy Fallon. Even heavy metal, which once shocked with Satanic allusions and sexual deviance, is more likely to host a theme cruise than remind anyone of revolt. The cultural peaks of Generation X’s lifespan are either buried or lost in the fog of ornamental relevance.
 
Even Prince, that mystical warrior of funk and sex, suddenly finds himself fighting the passage of time in a geezer-like manner. He and Madonna seem like natural counterparts; each focused heavily on sexuality, thinning out the borders between genders, ethnicities, and the expectations of a black or female artist. Yet his career and influence wanes as he tries (and fails) to sue his own fans for wanting to buy music in the 21st century.
 
And while one must strain to hear any of Prince’s original ideas survive into the pop music of today, Madonna is scattered through every major act of the last 15 years. If Madonna were to start her career today instead of in 1983, she’d appear to be a mashup of every major artist currently working: The bold iconography of Beyoncé, the feminine lightness of Taylor Swift, the dour theatrics of Lorde, the dancefloor sensibility of Rihanna, the pipes of Ariana Grande, and the artistic extremism of Lady Gaga. Madonna’s influence on American pop music is almost smothering in its totality.
 
One of the biggest factors in this influence is not simply her talent but the context in which she thrived. Looking back from today, it’s hard to imagine a time when the vast majority of the top artists in the world were men. Earlier this year, Billboard celebrated a record five weeks where all of the top five artists on the Hot 100 were women. In their annual ranking of the most powerful musicians, Forbes had three female acts in the top five—with Beyoncé holding the number one spot.
 
As Today's Tom Sclafani once remarked, “before Madonna, most music mega-stars were guy rockers; after her, almost all would be female singers.†In 1983, Madonna entered a world dominated by Michael Jackson, The Police, and the likes of Def Leppard. This was before the golden age of R&B that would bring Whitney Houston and well after the death of disco and its divas. Sure, you had your Cyndi Lauper, your Pat Benatar, your Chaka Kahn. But Madonna reached a superstar status unrivaled by any of her female colleagues.
 
This means she largely built the only framework for the female pop star, fundamentally altering all that comes after her and nearly embarrassing all that came before. In this way, she’s the iPhone of pop stars: not merely succeeding in the market but demolishing and rebuilding the market in their own image.
 
Which is why Generation X won’t let her go. So much of ‘80s and early ‘90s culture was built on self-gratification and a tendency towards the absurd. Madonna is the only performer still standing after that torrent of selfishness, that epoch of pointless grandiosity. She’s the last lighthouse ushering GenXers in from an existential sea, offering merely the opportunity for an identity not built on the dead or disgraced.

So suddenly new users with less than 20 posts here and on MadonnaChile appear to request demos or claim to have them. Please stop. It's like not many people have learnt how to use effin Google for God's sake.
 

I was surprised MDNA didn't get a limited edition because it seems like more and more artists are doing that with each album. Hopefully they do one with Rebel Heart!
