08) EXPRESS YOURSELF

joe: One of the first Madonna songs I fell in love with. Not only her amazing vocals, but that bassline! Also one of the best remixed Madonna singles. It's one of her most iconic songs, and the opening of the Blond Ambition Tour. It also accompanies one of, if not the best video of her entire 30 year career. A song so brilliant that its the first that someone so unoriginal attempts (but fails) to copy. Madonna is also able to include a blatant message without it being try-hard or cringeworthy, which makes the song so much the better.

I feel famous! Thanks for including me! I can't decide whether that 6th sentence even makes sense, but oh well. Great list by the way, very very well done.

Live to tell #4! :tigger:

I love this song!

Never expected that so many enjoy it as much as me!

I really love all top 5, but chocked with no Like a Virgin! WTF? It's a classic!

I think it would be great if we could make the list a mn tradition. We could make in every between-albums time! If Whoopie doesnt want to do it again because its too much work, maybe we could make a team effort the next time. Sharing the work (counting votes and picking write ups, art, etc).

She's dusted off parts of Jump and Sorry on S&S and MDNA, and we've sat through two tortured renditions of Hung Up (I loved both, but square peg round hole much?) and yet the clear MASTERPIECE that is Get Together stands ignored. I vote sending this list to Guy O if ONLY in the vain hope we get to see more drop squat searing autotuned bliss vocals in another rendition of GT.

Get Together was so high! :shock: and you used my description! :inlove:

This list & everyone's write-ups actually made me relisten to a few songs, with a new perspective. Madonna fandom varies GREATLY between each if us, and though most of my picks weren't even on the list, it's nice to see what some songs (i'm not too keen on) mean to others.

Yay, I'm in the credits :laugh:

The top 3 will always be what it is, in all M countdowns on any site. But I'm glad to see some 00s tracks ranking high (Music and Get together). Also, happy to see Frozen as a song continually in the top 10 of any M countdown among fans.

Happy with the top 40 results, :)

The ones in red I was really surprised to see them not making the Top 40. And yes, the Top 5 were extremely predictable. Glad to see LAP winning, though! (I told you)

I'll have to make an appreciation thread for Everybody! That song deserves much more love than it gets! It' so timeless and catchy!

That top five is predictable but perfect. Those songs truly seem to be her most universal, well loved songs by the general public and apparently her diehard fans too! All five of those tracks are truly perfect, timeless pop songs. Nice surprise to see Get Together in the top 10.....even above Hung Up. I figured it would be somewhere on the list but after it didn't make it to top 20 I thought there was no chance. Although expected, it's great to see Express Yourself in the top 10 as well.

This was a lot of fun! Everyone's write up's were fantastic. It's always interesting to read someone elses interpretation or memory of songs, how they've touched their lives. Thank you whoopie for all the blood sweat and tears you put into this! :)

Is it just me or is there anyone else who's disappointed that You'll See didn't make the list?

I think it's one of her most beautiful ballads, both vocal-wise and musically.

Actually I think it's pretty much exactly what you would get if you asked non fans what the best Madonna songs are. Case in point...my sisters boyfriend loves Like a prayer. My friend Hannah hates Madonna but thinks Frozen is amazing. I mean...why? :lol: I love these songs but I can't help feeling like people just go with what has been widely reported. I was expecting that maybe one left field fan favourite might make its presence known but obviously not. I bet if Joanne would have voted we would have got the same top five.

I like LAP, but it doesn't really have any emotional impact on me...

I find it hard 2 enjoy records like LAP, MG, LAV & PDP as songs (except Live)

..they r like monuments

What other songs are deserving of top 5 that would be considered fan favourites? I think the main reason why there isn't fan favourites in the top 5 or so is because with a catalogue so huge, there's just too many fan favourites for there to be enough votes for a particular song.

I love them but the BAT version of LAP is the only one that hits me emotionally. It was a long time before I actually grew to love PDP but I think I enjoy it sonically rather than lyrically. LAV is a classic and I love every live version. Material girl is definitely a monument. I agree with you totally on that.

Impressive instant. Drowned world. Nobody knows me. Easy ride. She has SO many huge songs (I'm not talking sales but content) so I think you could go on and on with the possibilities. I think when people vote on these things anyway they vote for the experience, the video, the imagery and not solely the song. That's why singles with strong videos/images are the most successful...
