sotos8 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 500-401438. Madonna – 'Material Girl' (1984, Sire). The Queen Of Pop's tongue-in-cheek take on 80s consumerism, with a stonking chorus and a cheesy-but-great synthpop sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonnasuperfan01 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That's great! But let's hope some of her better songs will be way higher on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetCandy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 By the looks of it, it's the first 99 songs 500-401. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Since "Like a Prayer" has fared favorably on NME lists, I imagine it, at the least, will appear. Maybe "Vogue," too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see LAP & Vogue on the list & perhaps, ROL & Hung Up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabl0114 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 When did we become obsessed with list? There's a list for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick00 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 When did we become obsessed with list? There's a list for everything. I agree with you about how some people are overly obsessed with lists, but my curiosity makes me peek at them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Barthes Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 All these websites now are just filled with lists like Buzzfeed. It does not need to know how to redact an article on a particular subject and people are more prone to read this fast food equivalent in journalism than a long intelligent article. They probably give these lists to the interns they don't even pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 And no Madonna in the 201-300 range... SURELY, as classic as it is, "Material Girl' isn't the only Madge entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotos8 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think she should have at least 3 songs in this list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The digital edition of the magazine is available- does anyone have it? The top 25 was revealed online (M isn't in it, not surprisingly). So, there's only 175 spots left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaz Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Not at the top 25? C'mon Madonna has some massive classic songs. Like a Prayer or Vogue should be a strong top 10 contender en every list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well, there is a lot of classic music out there. When Rolling Stone did its 500 Songs list, LAP was the only entry. NME had decades lists- LAP was on the 80s one ,and Vogue was on the 90s one. Lists are compiled in different manners sometimes- for this NME one, it had 80-something journalists submit their top 50 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rachelle of London Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Unfortunately the only time Madonna would do well on these lists is if she stopped making new music, released a greatest hits album every year or if she died. Sad but true. That's the only times when some of these publications will be able to recognise her as a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samo Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 ^ Pop music in general NEVER does well on these lists. Madonna is generally always the highest ranked pop girl however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Also no Madge in the ranges of 26-30 and 51-75. So, we're now down to 145 positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narendra Sen Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 ^ Pop music in general NEVER does well on these lists. Yes. It's all about rock, folk music and "talented" ahtists... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 i think nme or rolling stone, not sure which, ranked her as the 2nd best female artist, behind patti smith. she's doing pretty good for those kind of lists actually.. considering how "pop" she is and how pretentious they are.

Raf Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Who cares about this fucking list anyway? It's always the same people and the same songs. So boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yes- for a mainstream pop act- female at that- she does fare pretty well on best-of lists, overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Women are always shortchanged on these lists. I haven't checked out the top 25, but pretty certain it sucks and is just a bunch of dudes. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
