Pink Matter Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 What M songs/albums have or haven't aged well? I was listening to Justify My Love & Erotica today, they sound pretty fresh to me Was also listening to Borderline, it sounds timeless But Dress You Up or Gambler, as much as love those songs, they sound very 80s, very old As an album I think COAD & Bedtime Stories have aged very well and Hard Candy sounds old as phuck What's your opinion?

Raf Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think Erotica, Music and American Life sound very fresh even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ares1987 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 For me Erotica sounds too old, but I love too. Music and American LIfe sound still fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Gark Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Pretty much everything from Ray of Light to COADF has aged really really well. They sound even fresher now when compared to all the electro-pop/EDM stuff produced these days. I would say Like a Virgin (the album) sounds a bit "old", but the rest of her 80s' work is timeless.

nick00 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Most of her music has aged reasonably well, but there are a few exceptions that are pretty noticeable. I'm still waiting for remastered & deluxe versions from some of her previous albums, such as, LAP, Erotica, ROL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 can't think of anything honestly.. all her music still sounds very fresh. some more than other music but compared to other music it still sounds very new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrolla Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think Hard candy sounds current. If you look at Pharell's recent work, it may have even been ahead of its time. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Barthes Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think Hard candy sounds current. If you look at Pharell's recent work, it may have even been ahead of its time. . . Exactly if there's one Madona album that sounds like what's in the charts it's Hard Candy, now that you don't like it it's another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phineaspoe Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think the songs have aged well, but the production in many is dated. Even with the 80s sound being back in vogue... So let's say, Burning Up to me still sounds fresh, but the original Express Yourself doesn't. Not sure why. They both obviously have an 80s sound.

madonnasuperfan01 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The Like a Virgin album is probably the one that hasn't aged that well. But i still LOVE it, Dress You Up is THE jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijah Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I can think only of Spotlight or Cant Stop as sounding ancient. The majority of her albums never gets old. Most of the time they are ahead couple of years. For example COADF could ve been released today. Lots of bands are doing what she did 9 years ago, so...

reQuiem4adream Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ray Of Light is dated because Orbit bubbless. Since when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollhouse Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 ^it felt fresh about 1-2 years. The songs are great, the production is very 1990's dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwiggz Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Erotica as a whole is the only one to me that seems too "stuck in it's time". I love it but even her older albums sound more "fresh" in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TearsInHeaven Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Spotlight. i think it is probably her song with the most dated ('80s) sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerGirl Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Most part of LAV aged very badly Yeah, if I had to pick one album that I felt had aged badly, I would choose LAV. Overall I feel like her discography has held up well over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertogerard Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Most of her music has aged reasonably well, but there are a few exceptions that are pretty noticeable. I'm still waiting for remastered & deluxe versions from some of her previous albums, such as, LAP, Erotica, ROL. I asked this once before but didn't get a reply. Since on the front of the LAP album it says "A Digital Recording" does that mean he sound on the album is as good as it will ever be? Or CAN it be Remastered?

jonski43 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think it's easier for younger members to say what might have aged and as to what sounds dated as they can be more objective to the production. When I hear LAV, it just brings back lots of memories of 85 and it still sounds so fresh. Same with True Blue. I know they're of their time but they don't stand out like other songs from the period but this is also as they are so well produced. However, even at the time I thought the who's that girl soundtrack seemed quite tired. Can't Stop us a fun song but the start of the song just sounds straight from a bad eighties film. Which it is!
