IsaacHarris Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 1998? Isn't that when her pussy was still tucked away? Not my favorite era, but a good time for her.
MaddysMuff Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 I had been an avid listener since 1989, but became a fanatic in 1998.
Phantom Pain Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I've always been fascinated by Madonna. what I remember from 1998 was only Frozen. I was a kid who was only interested in video games and masturbation and I didn't know much about western pop culture back then.
IsaacHarris Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I always liked her as a kid, but I became a fan around the American Life era! Oh, but back on topic: Drowned World is my favorite video from that era. I'M STILL FURIOUS that it was left off of the Celebration DVD. "THE FACE OF YOU. MY SUBSTITUTE FOR LOVE!"
Chuck82 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I had been an avid listener since 1989, but became a fanatic in 1998. I've always liked her alot since I was like 5 years old and my aunts would play her shiz, but like you I became a hardcore fan in 1998 when ROL came out. I remember I went out and got all her others cd's and started plastering my wall with posters of her. Also recorded every damn thing that came on back when they had Madonna weekends on MTV (miss those days).
Apples388 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 1986! I heard "Papa Don't Preach" and saw this as a poster at a record shop and my life was never the same again! I was 6.
Lymon Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I actually hated Madonna for a while (I can't even remember why ), yet I had grown up hearing a lot of her songs and loving them, not knowing who sang them. I became a loon in 2009.
Flip The Switch Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 In 1986 when I saw for the first time the video for "Open Your Heart". I remember saying I wanted to be that kid. Later I bought Something to Remember and felt in love with "Take a Bow". In 1998 became a massive fan with the song/video of "Ray of Light". It was the coolest song I've ever heard during that time and the video was just amazing, I remember playing the song non-stop with my CD Player Ready for Car. A great year in music history. So 1998 was the year for me.

I don't miss those days, because I was a closeted fag in rural Ohio dating a girl, but I do have fond memories of buying "Erotica" in '98. In fact, I bought it before I did ROL. She was everywhere back then.
Guest nothingfails0603 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 My older sister was a fan when I was like 4-5 so I knew the first two albums and everything even at that age and I do remember looking forward to watching Desperately Seeking Susan premiere on The Movie Channel in early 1986, and I liked all the True Blue stuff even more, but Like A Prayer was really when it became obvious to me that she was going to tower over all the competition and still be around when everyone else was dead. That and Vogue especially turned me from "kid who likes music, including Madonna" to "10 year old who wears his Madonna love with pride even if people call him a fag at school" I didn't have this newfound appreciation for her with ROL, I actually played Bedtime Stories more as a current release (I didn't really click with ROL until a year or so later) but it was nice to finally see people showing her respect after the way she was thrown around in the mud in 92-93.
MaddysMuff Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 2005. late I know But it was a great time to become a fan. I will never forget the premiere of "Hung Up." One of the best M eras ever.

In fact, I bought it before I did ROL. She was everywhere back then. I was dating a girl too and I was obssesed with the song ROL playing it like crazy while I was driving and she next to me. The cd's that were inside my car: Madonna "Ray of Light", Spice Girls "Spiceworld", Titanic "Soundtrack", Offspring "Americana", Sugar Ray "14:59"...
Flip The Switch Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 But it was a great time to become a fan. I will never forget the premiere of "Hung Up." One of the best M eras ever. Remember the small clips from TRL when the relevance of the show was fading out. WE got the speed out version and first snippet from the Motorola ad without the "sample". Great memories.
MaddysMuff Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 When I used to ride the bus to high school, back in '95 before getting a car, I would blast "Bedtime Stories" from my headphones. When the school bullies would ask what I was listening to, I'd say "Aerosmith." Very similar.

Because the girl I dated then is now one of my best friends. I remember buying Whitney's "My Love is Your Love" around that period of time, and even that didn't give her a hint. COME ON.

Always asking what I was listening and just changed the subject. I felt embarrased.
MaddysMuff Posted August 26, 2010 Author Posted August 26, 2010 No, it was def 2000 for me. Madonna internet. Madonna Internet is one of my favorite periods. I was such a mega fan, while in college, I placed my name on several cardboard promos music stores were using to promote the album. For the longest time, I had this HUGE "Music" display that was meant to hold CDs. A few others that were meant to just be simple desk displays promoting said album made their way into my life. I was a real Madonna loon. Still am, but I don't like clutter these days.
Nikki Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 Remember the small clips from TRL when the relevance of the show was fading out. WE got the speed out version and first snippet from the Motorola ad without the "sample". Great memories. THIS. I remember it so well. that weird commercial with iggy & co and really wanting to hear the actual SONG. and poor M with that broken arm in it. for me.. I became really interested (thanks to a lot of madonna mtv weekends! god bless the old mtv days..) in 2000. Became a fan in 2001-02 and a loon in 2005. Also, for some very strange reason I kept thinking that Madonna was a promogirl for Microsoft in this picture, thinking it was the default windows 2000 wallpaper. (very random) LINK: http://www.madonnalicious.com/images/1995/versace_ns8.jpg I kept linking this image with microsoft and still don't know why. lmao. I also ALWAYS thought she was the most beautiful person on the planet and that everyone agreed with this.
Chuck82 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 kinda off topic I remember around this time in 98 I got in a big fight with my mom and she got all dramatic and went in my room and started ripping my posters down and was all "You love this bitch more than me!!" OMG I was so fucking pissed, but she ended up replacing the 3 she ruined. One of them was a poster of her naked hitch hiking that you could find all over Ebay at the time. I had it hanging above my TV and my Grandma all covered her pussy up with a sticker I need to look for those pictures I took of my room at the time.. it was out of control. Like you couldn't see any bare wall showing, it was all MADONNA.

Was such a big fag, and was so happy to hear a new song from her. A REALLY AMAZING ONE at that.

No matter where I moved to, it was placed in the dining room. Framed rather cheaply, but still framed.

The instrumental from the ad, the sped up version, the chorus, the dub that Stuart leaked in a Euro party....that was all that we got before the launch of the album version.
Guest nothingfails0603 Posted August 26, 2010 Posted August 26, 2010 I think ultimately it depended on where you lived and where you went to school when it came to how "cool" she was in 1998. I went to an all-boys school and even then, the only guys who actually admitted to being fans then were the ones who I've discovered are gay on Facebook . She was nowhere as popular as Insane Clown Posse and the sort were at my school, keep in mind at the school I went to at the same time nobody dared actually admitted seeing Titanic unless they were being dragged by their girlfriend (I saw it twice BY CHOICE lol).

I didn't grow up in a better area than you. In fact, I bet mine was worse. At least you were in a city. I assume you were in Louisville, that is. No one liked Madonna in high school except for a few girls and ME. My college friends are the ones who were and still are in love with her. No surprise.
