She can't half belt some good tunes - I have being listening to her Celebration album.

Tell me any other artist that has such a wide fan base, from rednecks in Alabama to me here in London?

Despite being very dancey for America - Vogue still remains one of my favourite tunes of all time and the trancey 'What it feels like for a girl' is fantastic. (Even Glee covered it!).
 
She has some awesome tunes. The eighties/nineties saw her best work, but Confessions Of A Dancefloor was also a great album. Probably my favourite as an entire album from start to finish in fact. I saw her twice on that tour and she was ace.

She has written some pretty awful tunes too, but on balance she is ok in my book - musically speaking.
 
She's comitted the worst sin in shit-cover-version-history with American Pie, but there have been odd flashes of brilliance in her career.

The Classics are peerless, and and the Hung Up album really really surprised me (Get Together is as good as anything she's done IMO) and snatched her from the jaws of being right off my Christmas list.

skyscraper101 speaks sense.

I HEART madonna, as I'm sure I've said before. Confessions is my guaranteed cheer up album, especially Jump.

Even though I'm a massive fan I've found some albums have had to grow on me e.g Hard Candy and I could bare American Life when it first came out, but now it's in my top three Madonna albums. A piece of electronic, Mirwais produced ace-ness.

She puts on an amazing concert too, with the added bonus of pretty much every gig ticket I buy seems cheap compared to Madonna tickets :D :facepalm:

That's the thing though - she the writes the melody and the lyrics for all her tracks (apart from American Pie), I know that William Orbit and what not make the thing sound listenable with their weird wizzardy table of knobs - but fair play to her.
 
I've only got "The Immaculate Collection" and feel happy with that, because it is truly great stuff. Very few greatest hits albums rival it.
 
Love most of her stuff, from 'Holiday' to 'Hung Up'.

I think her finest point was probably the 'Ray of Light' album.
 
she's freaking awesome. was listening to loads of her old stuff on Spotify the other week - realised just how great she is.

Immaculate Collection is the best.
 
I love Madonna quite passionately. I saw her at a very intimate album launch at the Brixton Academy, for Ray of Light. I was in an audience of about 400, and it was amazing. I remember they played a montage of her videos to lead her in, and then the screen showed her singing and dancing in a vintage car - and when I turned round she was already on stage, in the car, the act had started! (I might have been a bit fucked at the time as I now recall... yes, I was warm.)

And a muscular young stranger in the audience in front of me was desperate for a dance partner, so that was nice.

And when I came out into the cool air of Brixton, I had to walk past that Tara Parma Tonkinson, on massive heels!! She was!! Not me!!!:rolleyes:

Sooooo, that was that, be jealous as you like it's my memory.:cool:
