vocalism Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 So I'm dating someone who's much younger than me. Yep, I'm basically a cradle robber. The weirdest thing about it is that his Madonna knowledge is pretty limited. He knows some of her biggest classics ("Like a Prayer" and, oddly, "Frozen" since he remembers the video from when he was a kid), but had never heard "Erotica" (!). He's also not huge on pop music in general. So I'm making him a mix.

Larkspur Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I have found guys who are not that into pop music seem to like the American Life album. He might also like some of her ballads. I'll Remember, Rain, You'll See... The whole albums of Erotica and Ray of Light Live to Tell, Oh Father, Borderline, Love Don't Live Here Anymore, Take A Bow, Drowned World, Bedtime Story, Sanctuary, Skin, Get Together, Forbidden Love 05, Beat Goes on Her cover of I want you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vocalism Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 ^ I'm not sure anyone who isn't a fan will respond well to "She's Not Me" or "Incredible." I'm steering clear of HC altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that out of her recent albums, HC gets the best response amongst non-fans.......but most of these people are fans of pop music in general.

Maybe "Voices." I actually thought about putting Voices on my list but left it off since it's from HC.....and you can clearly hear Justin's voice on it, I figured someone who's not the biggest fan of pop music in general may find his vox a bit grating. Other than that though, I think it would be a perfect song to add. Maybe the orchestral version of Voices?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocalism Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 So, update: I was curious which Madonna songs he knows (again, he's 23), so I played him 40 of what I deem to be M's most notable singles, and here's the results: HE RECOGNIZED (some of which he didn't realize were Madonna): HolidayLucky StarLike a VirginMaterial GirlInto the GrooveLike a PrayerVogueTake a BowFrozenRay of LightBeautiful StrangerMusicHung Up (surprised by this one) SONGS HE VAGUELY RECOGNIZED BUT WASN'T SURE: Dress You Up (sounded familiar, but wasn't sure. I think he might recognize it from the Gap commercial)Papa Don't Preach (knows it from Kelly Osbourne's version)Open Your Heart (sounded familiar, but wasn't sure)Express Yourself (thinks he knows it, but maybe from a cover version - not sure what it could have been) THE ONES HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE: BorderlineCrazy for You Angel Live to TellTrue Blue La Isla BonitaWho's That GirlCausing a CommotionCherishJustify My LoveThis Used to Be My PlaygroundEroticaDeeper and DeeperRainI'll RememberSecret You'll SeeDon't Tell Me (really strange that he knew "Music" but not this one)4 Minutes (he apparently didn't listen to the radio at all during this period) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 He has taste! Pop music sucks. A friend of mine also hates pop music and when I was playing the latest greatest hits in the car, he said, "These are her worst songs." So here is my list of amazing alternative songs, in addition to yours: 1. Nobody's Perfect 2. I Deserve It 3. Mer Girl 4. Where Life Begins 5. Act of Contrition 6. Celebration (BB Remix and Dub) 7. Love Profusion (Headcleanr) 8. Drowned World 9. Up Down Suite 10. Beast Within 11. Justify My Love (Orbit Remix) 12. I'll Remember (Guerrilla Beach Remix) 13. X-static Process 14. B-day Song (very young hipster sound, lots of irony with MIA) that should tide him over for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaAbdul Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Express Yourself (thinks he knows it, but maybe from a cover version - not sure what it could have been) He probably knows it from Born This Way tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phineaspoe Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 So I'm dating someone who's much younger than me. Yep, I'm basically a cradle robber. The weirdest thing about it is that his Madonna knowledge is pretty limited.

He's also not huge on pop music in general. So I'm making him a mix. Here's what I decided on based on my favorites: live to tell till death do us part oh father justify my love erotica secret garden secret sanctuary bedtime story i want you sky fits heaven the power of good-bye has to be paradise (not for me) easy ride get together love spent Any other suggestions? Nice. I would add Drowned World, Swim, Mer Girl, Nothing Fails, Don't Tell Me (the guy can have fun, even if he likes experimental, no?!), Falling Free, Future Lovers, Isaac... Also, Erotica (Confessions Tour) and Like a Virgin (MDNA Tour). And what would you say about including "I'm A Sinner"? These songs, along with the ones you've chosen (with the exception of "till death do us part" - I would replace for Everybody and Burning Up) have gone well with those supposedly Madonna non-fans (Fact: no one in actually is a Madonna non-fan. They just haven't taken the time to explore her vast catalogue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocalism Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 ^ Good suggestions. I don't think "I'm a Sinner" is worthy when there's stuff from ROL that's superior though. Here's my updated list: Live to Tell Oh Father Sooner or Later Rescue Me (S.O.S. Mix) Fever Waiting Secret Garden Sanctuary Bedtime Story I Want You Frozen The Power of Good-bye Mer Girl Has to Be Paradise (Not for Me) Gone Easy Ride Isaac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
