438. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
