johnnox Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 For me, it's Erotica. When it first came out, I liked it but on the whole was not blown away by it. But as the years have gone, I absolutely adore at least 75 per cent of it. I know the production on some of the tracks is a little bit of its time, but the lyrics and the melodies are just so damn strong. I listen to it more now than I did 21 years ago.

Guest SecretGarden Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Bedtime Stories is definitely a grower, while I instantly fell in love with Erotica, I always thought Bedtime Stories was a weaker and more safe version of Erotica but it's really stood the test of time and is a great album in it's own right.

Crux Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I don't think i've disliked any of her albums upon first listen like I did with American Life... but i have grown to like it. However, I still can't abide "Hollywood". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datf Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 for me it's erotica and bedtime stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Believe it or not, Confessions. I remember listening to it and thinking Hung Up, Get Together, Sorry, Jump and Like it Or Not were the only good songs. But of course the others grew on me and now its one of my favourite albums. I'd also be tempted to say Bedtime Stories and Erotica, but I was really too young to form an instant opinion back then. As a kid I would just listen to the singles of new albums mainly. I don't recall paying attention to songs like Why's It So Hard and In This Life until I got the Girlie Show on VHS. I remember not liking 'Secret Garden' til many years later. Now I love it.

promise to try Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Bedtime.I don´t think madonna and me were in the same place when it appeared.I needed to party like crazy, and it was a very calmed album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkspur Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Easy question for me: Confessions on a Dancefloor It had more to do with the departure she seemed to be making to me at the time than the quality of Confessions itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULIZOS Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Madonna (debut). When I was younger I was really into the new Madonna, but as I've become older and gotten to know a lot more about Madonna (her beginnings, her struggles, etc.),I've really grown to appreciate the simplicity and raw ambition of this album. I hear it and can't help but think: what a badass 24-year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt420 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Although I wouldn't say I LOVE it, I have grown to appreciate American Life. As an adult, it's the only Madonna album I was actually disappointed in after listening to for the first time. It's grown on me over the years and I can appreciate it for what it is. It's a unique piece of her musical puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt420 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You're maturing...slowly. LOL....even her music that's not my favorite has it's place as far as I'm concerned. At that time I was hoping AL was going to expand on the sound of Impressive Instant, but of course it turned out to be nearly the total opposite. I would never change anything about her musical output though. Just compare the albums of the last 10 years alone....AL, COADF, HC, MDNA.....ALL of them are so different to one another and that's pretty impressive!!

5iVe Elements Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 1. Erotica - thought it was too dark but now I love it. Especially Waiting. That song is love. 2. Confessions - I didn't get it at first but now I love the entirety of it. Disco, preachy, serious. 3. True Blue - I only cared for the singles but I get this one now.

Mensch Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Something to Remember, Bedtime Stories and I'm Breathless are the only albums I didn't 100% automatically fall in love with. It took years of life experience and re-listens to finally understand the magic of those albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icykiller Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Confessions... I was immediately turned off by Hung Up initially, and that kind of made me reject the album a bit at first. But as years passed by, I've grown to love that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJM Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Bedtime Stories. For years I didn't pay it much attention but now I really like it. Ray of Light also took me a long time, I was really still into punk and hardcore music at the time I got it and it just wasn't something I was into. in the last 2 years I've started listening to it and now it is one of my favorites.
