Loaded with hits like "Borderline" and "Holiday" (the latter produced by her then-boyfriend, John "Jellybean" Benitez) and the great communal anthem "Everybody," it put downtown New York electro grooves all over the Top 40. Fun fact: it also works great as aerobics music. 97. DJ Shadoww, 'Entroducing....' 98. Joe Jackson, 'Look Sharp!' 99. The Flying Burrito Brothers,'The Gilded Palace of Sin' 100. Lady Gaga, 'The Fame' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressston Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 To rank it at 96 is very, very wrong, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well it's not Madge's best album. RS had it on the best albums of the 80s when that decade ended, but some views change over time. Definitely her most influential album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb19 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I don't know, so many of these on the list are magnificent and self aware works by a proper artist. M's debut is good, but offers no hints of how amazing she has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raf Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The thing with lists is that it's impossible to please everyone. Of course I would've put Madonna higher in the rank, but some of them are interesting choices... Overall, yet another fail list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blossom Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Rolling Stone lists are crap, tho I will say most lists wouldn't remember the supreme debut of Yazoo, and I'm glad to see the B52s get a look in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 No Bjork - Debut? No Sugababes? No Terence Trent? No Sinead? No Tracy fucking Chapman? Madonna #96? The Beatles first is their worst! Whoever makes these lists must be on drugs bad drugs. It must just give them something to do on a Tuesday afternoon and they can finish early when its done. I dont know whether you could include it but... no 'off the wall'??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VogueMusic Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 These lists are always such bullshit. Even if they put your favs higher up on some lists...the rest are always still so ... off. And I'm probably going to piss some folks off when I say this...but these lists always seem to be written by middle-aged straight white guys. The rockers are usually always dominating the top of the lists. Non-white artists barely crack the top, sans a few. It's pretty much male-dominated at the top. And the pop / dance / r&b artists are always towards the bottom. I can't be the only one who always notices that with these kinds of lists...

Mensch Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I will just focus on the bolded part, since it's the main truth. Exactly. That list is ridiculous in so many ways. Madonna should've been on the top 20 AT LEAST if not top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
