Funny how a term used to define all Madonna’s legion of followers, wannabe, works so well here as she tries on an embarrassingly bad hip-pop lite vibe to no one’s amusement. <br /><br />12. MDNA - A return to the dance floor, after HARD CANDY, this album is chilly, detached and surprisingly one of her worst. Impersonal, brash, and at times juvenile, MDNA drags on way too long like a bad trip with Molly.<br /><br />11. MUSIC - After the sterling RAY OF LIGHT, she attempted to make lightning strike twice but missed the mark with Mirwais stuttering beats, folktronica which in retrospect seems a bit ahead of it’s time. (See or hear Avicii’s “Wake Me Up”)<br /><br />10. LIKE A VIRGIN - The album that catapulted her to superstardom is also one of her least artistic. Hit singles aside, nothing on here hinted at the talent behind the voice.<br /><br />9. TRUE BLUE - While LIKE A VIRGIN catapulted Madonna to superstardom, TRUE BLUE cemented it with five top 5 singles. three of which hit #1.<br /><br />8. BEDTIME STORIES - Her first foray into R&B was a much better venture than later efforts. Credit goes to the producers, like Babyface, who crafted lush, smooth songs that didn’t stray too far from Madonna’s pop sensibilities.<br /><br />7. EROTICA - An album ahead of its time sonically and culturally. The average pop music fan was not ready for Madonna at her most honest, brazen, and bold. Go behind the sexual innuendo laced songs and you’ll uncover some of the deepest, richest tracks she’s ever served up.<br /><br />6. MADONNA - The album that started it all. Containing her best early work like “Holiday” and “Borderline”, MADONNA came along and ushered in a new era of dance pop star. One who was just getting started and was ready to take over the radio, media and pop culture. <br /><br />5. REBEL HEART - After two lackluster and almost unbearable albums (HARD CANDY & MDNA) The Queen returned with her best album in a decade and went to her pop roots while keeping a toe on the dance floor. REBEL HEART succeeds because she stopped chasing the music trends and crafted songs that were right up her lane in sounding current yet classic at the same time.<br /><br />4. AMERICAN LIFE - Title track and “Hollywood” aside, this album was one of her most personal and contains some of her most underrated album tracks (“Intervention” and “X-Static Process”)<br /><br />3. CONFESSIONS ON A DANCEFLOOR - The Queen triumphantly claimed her spot under the disco ball with a collection of shimmery, euphoric dance tracks that saw her ascend to the top of the charts everywhere.<br /><br />2. RAY OF LIGHT - The comeback album. Madonna reinvented herself as a spiritual mother and scored Grammys, hit singles, and respect of everyone who counted her out.<br /><br />1. LIKE A PRAYER - This was the game changing, career defining Madonna album. Commercial yet artistic, this album silenced her critics and proved she was an icon.J.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438781893535519684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-19269731267330490912017-08-16T16:02:08.964-04:002017-08-16T16:02:08.964-04:00This is when you realize how bad her recent releas...This is when you realize how bad her recent releases have been.

I believe her first single, Everybody, was actually released in 1982 so I guess I was a little late to the party. Since we're not ranking compilation albums, let's just not forget that a some of her best singles came from those albums... Justify My Love, Rescue Me, This Used To Be My Playground, You'll See. And a few from film soundtracks...
