ryan Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm sorry, but her entire catalog is so immense and diverse. There's a song for every human emotion. She speaks from the heart. Each album is perfectly crafted from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there's all that music of life, ahhhh They really do need to release this montage as a poster, don't they? I know there's one for The Beatles, and I think MJ too. Her team hasn't put out a poster in retail stores for ages. Get on the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonoka Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 In my opinion, these are Madonna's greatest albums: Wow, seeing the album covers all lined up just reminds me once again she's one of the greatest artists to have ever graced the earth. I mean, not that I don't know, but such collages always make it the most apparent. What an icon she is, never stopped evolving throughout 30 years. And although MDNA and Hard Candy do not match the quality of the previously released albums (while certainly not being bad albums, though), they perfectly fit in and round out the collage. Amazing, I feel like worshipping her again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 theyre chronological gugu In that case it doesn't make sense at all. Like a prayer was heavily about the dissolve of marriage and that's just one example. I see more in common between Hard Candy and Madonna than I do with Hard Candy and Confessions. I also see more connection between Confessions as Erotica than I do between Erotica and Like a prayer. I don't think there's any singular pattern between the albums and I'm Breathless should definitely be included when considering her recording career as a whole. As a fan I even feel WTG soundtrack (her parts), something to remember and the new songs featured on the Immaculate collection are so important. While the Evita soundtrack is important in her growth as a performer I don't think it shows growth in her personal writing skills etcetera. Having said all that...WELL DONE WHOOPIE FOR MAKING A POSITIVE THREAD. It is really refreshing and encouraging to read some love for her.

ANY WHORE COMES IN WHINGING ABOUT MDNA AND HARD CANDY'S WRITING WHILE PRAISING DEAR JESSIE THEN IMMA... It's just my opinion. This is an open forum, you have your opinion, and I have mine. No one is right or wrong. Madonna, Like a Virgin, True Blue=mega hits galore Like a Prayer, Erotica, Bedtime Stories=Very personal. She starts with LAP where it's the first time on an album where she gets personal. She does this again with BS. Erotica is almost of a conglomerate of the two, but more about her current state of mind. Ray of Light, Music, and American Life=She reflects on life and fame Confessions, Hard Candy, MDNA=I see these as a trilogy. Listen to HC and MDNA back to back then go back to COAD. She was confessing on COAD; she wasn't happy. HU isn't just some silly dance # that took her 5 mins to write in the back of the limo. She's fed up with her relationship and she needs an escape (read the writings in the special edition, it explains everything). She was rediscovering who was she was, she was beginning to remove the layers of clothing she had covered herself with throughout her marriage. HC had a lot of personal moments (moreso with the outtakes), more of a confessional than HC. It's interesting how originally in 'Is This Love' she still has hope that her marriage could work out. Yet in the reworked version that is 'Voices,' there is no hope, and she's okay with that. That relationship was meant to end, and it was going to end. The sound of the bell at the end of the song signifies the end of her marriage. And is it a coincidence or not that the beginning of the MDNA tour starts with a bell? Voices into MDNA is prob one of her greatest transitions in music. Again, it's just my theory and how I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
