In 2007, Madonna was elevated to "legend" and didn't have shit to prove to anyone.  Twenty five years from her debut single as a professional singer and she literally had broken every record...  M refocused her message to encompass more than her own myopic world and she never looked back. 
I, for one, would now find pre 2007 Madonna to be a major bore and I think that her music post 2007 is among her best.  Getting a Madame X rather than a Confessions 2.0 would be a real treat at this stage in anyone's career. Madonna evolves and thank god for that.  I wish that more stars would.  Dark Ballet is such a treat from the same singer who released Material Girl and Hanky Panky.  Borrowed Time became Madonna's new Human Nature.  And Falling Free her new mantra.   As Madonna has become more liberated, her artistry has thrived. I will take fresh and genuine over contrived and formula any day.  
It appears that Madonna grew tired of the merely parading around in corsets and crosses and decided to create something deeper with more longevity.  People will appreciate the new material in time and realize that the pop world became too small for her and not the reverse.  There is little doubt, to me, that M's post 2007 productions will breathe life into her "legend"  as soon as people catch up.  People are now rewarded for much smaller accomplishments than any that M has notched on her belt but that is okay with M.  She created those opportunities and had already perfected pop music.  2007 was a reawakening for Madonna and I have enjoy the journey. 
The bottom line here is that there is nothing wrong with post 2007 Madonna, 

She's human. She made a mistake. She deleted the video.

Really cool. I love it!

That sounds very cool.  I am overwhelmed sometimes by the true depth of M's catalog.  

I created a playlist.  It captures my mood lately.... and also offers proof that Madonna is a f'ing genius.  Haha.  It actually plays very well and incorporates many of her era's.  I just thought that it would be fun to share.  Very few of the songs were singles and about half have never been performed live.  This is the Madonna that the general public has never met but definitely should. It is mostly midtempo but I tried to add up moments.  Creating the playlist made me realize just how many Madonnas I have to choose from.  It runs 120 minutes.

Love this playlist. I recreated my own version and mixed all the tracks into one full track.

Great playlist and I love that you included some of my fave M tracks - Queen , falling free,  ciao Bella, drowned world , devil , bedtime story and revenge ?

1984 was hardly the last year that Madonna was relevant by anyone's standards.  None if her monster hits had even happened.

I rather enjoyed Me Against the Music.  It was my coming out song and my first experiences in a gay bar.  It felt liberating even though I was terrified to dance in front of people.  Not my favorite M song ever but it wasn't bad.  Not really.

The Who's that Girl World Tour was the archetype for every modern concert performed by every major artist since.  It was mammoth and groundbreaking in every way.  It was historic as it was the first time that a woman ever headlined a world tour.  Describing it as "simplistic" is a disgrace.  

Madonna has two "Freedoms" too.  And an "Addicted" and "I'm Addicted".   There are probably more if I really think about it.
