NothingFails Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I lost them at calling American Life an "uneven album". In 2015, it's still too complex for their ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The problem with these lists is this: I love all her albums in different ways. I think Bedtime Stories had incredible singles, whereas American Life had incredible album tracks. I wanted to go through that list and say NO. THIS ALBUM DESERVED HIGHER (which I personally think the Music album is in her Top5 best albums). I see why they placed the albums how they placed them (even though I wouldn't rank them the same way - just as nobody would). Anyhow, I love looking at the lists regardless.

Donuts Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I belong in the minority when it comes to COAD... love the whole tour and Hung Up but the rest of the album for me is all light fluff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donuts Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 When Rolling Stone made their Top 500 Albums of All time, Ray of Light and Music (suprisingly for some) made the cut, and there werent many pop albums that made the list MUSIC is a masterpiece!

Roland Barthes Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 COADF is overrated. Music is a better album because it's more diverse and more daring in its dance tracks. American Life deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter9 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 COADF is overrated. Music is a better album because it's more diverse and more daring in its dance tracks. American Life deserves better. I think that too. I love Music and I agree with Billboard that DTM is one of Madonna's most under- appreciated songs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES!but I will say in the last decade,I've never selected more tracks and played more often in my cardio playlist at the gym than the Confessions Tour cd and their amazing remixes... other than that I really dont go back to it that much. Ray of Light>Music>American Life= my top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boy skeffington Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 DTM literally created a type of music that is now more popular than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick00 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Felt LAV & TB placed too high. AL, MDNA, Music too low. Was also surprised in a good way that Erotica was placed so high because Billboard is so mainstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acko Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My personal taste aside...COAD, we have 2 acknowledge, is a classic Madonna album. It's her Scary Monsters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not a bad list. American LIfe IS an uneven album. They don't say it's bad. They even said MDNA was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I like how when publications make lists like this, they usually admit that even her lowest ranked album is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5iVe Elements Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I must say I will rank Music above COADF too. Like someone above, when I first heard COADF i wasn't impressed. I only liked HU and Sorry. Then the CT CD came and I loved it. Then I gained a new appreciation for the album. Now, the album is good but unlike Music, it didn't hook me right away.

Soma Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Billboard's full list: 1. Like a Prayer 2. Ray of Light 3. Madonna 4. Confessions on a dance floor 5. Erotica 6. Bedtime Stories 7. Like A Virgin 8. True Blue 9. Music 10. I'm Breathless 11. Hard Candy 12. American Life 13. MDNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I very happy they ranked Madonna and Bedtime Stories so high - the both are my Top5 Madonna albums (RH will drop one of them out thought..) Erotica and especially Like A Virgin were too up. And American Life being in the bottom is just blasphemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strilo Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I actually think they're not far off with this list. Mine would be different but not drastically so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
