  1. I'm shocked at Bjork's debut behing so high. I adored it when it was realised but it aged terribly. Post and Homogenic are far better.

    Still listen to Debut after all these years. It was very progressive at the time of release and still very strong after all these years (in my humble opinion).

    This list also contains so many amazing artists, massive attack, radiohead, blur, beastie boys, etc. Wish erotica or even BS could have made the list somewhere. Oh well... :sad:

  2. Refuse to purchase for first few months after it was released just because the track listing seemed so random and sloppy. The CD artwork won me over big time, and still listen to it all the time to this day. Imagining it must fantastic on vinyl!

    Would also have personally preferred more nineties and even 00s tracks, but gotta love that somehow everybody and burning made it.

  4. I was at the BS video premiere in NY back in the day (yes I'm "old") and the fans there reacted very enthusiastically when we all saw the amazing video projected on the big screen for the the very first time. I remember thinking that the video really helped Madonna come across seeming even more edgy and alternative if that makes sense, but other tracks on the album could have been bigger hits for sure. BS was not a US hit because most Americans taste in music at the time sucked and was not progressive.

  5. Agree GI2M was not a flop internationally, but it definitely pretty performed poorly in US! Assume Madonna's team expected a sizable hit in US, especially with Pharrell.

    Like it was said so many times before, beat goes on would have had a better chance for impact with GP in the states.

  6. Strongly feel it was almost obvious at the time that BS and HN would not perform well on US charts, but there were no surprises about the singles being hits in the more progressive European market.

    There were potentially safer single choices from BS, but I'm happy about the artistic risks she took. :yes:
