Roland Barthes Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Hey Madonna nerds, let's compile all the albums Madonna made references to throughout the years as being her favourite. The guy from high school who directed that egg movie said "The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust" was her favourite album then and sang to it in his car In another interview she said "Court and Sparks" by Joni Mitchell was her bible growing up Your turn !
ryan Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Well it's hard to decipher what would be classified as a "favorite" as she has name dropped countless albums and said she loved them. Is it safe to assume that "The Emancipation of Mimi" is not a favorite?

Is it safe to assume that "The Emancipation of Mimi" is not a favorite? The menstruations of Mimi is maybe a secret favourite she won't ever admit to liking.
ryan Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 The menstruations of Mimi is maybe a secret favourite she won't ever admit to liking. But she did admit! 5:40 Or maybe it was E=MC2 she was talking about, who knows, but she liked A Mimi album!
nick00 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Think she said Blackout by Britney. Think she also mentioned listening to Made of Bricks by Kate Nash at one time, but don't remember if she said was her favorite.
Rebel Heartbreaker Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Didn't she have Kylie's Nu-di-Ty from the 'X' album on a workout list?
Rebel Heartbreaker Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Oh, and Frou Frou's album 'Details' was a favourite, from memory. Makes sense, seeing it is Guy Sigworth's old band.
BabyDietrich Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 She was into Air - Moon Safari when it came out. I think I remember her mentioning Dmitri From Paris - Sacrebleu somewhere? Not sure if it counts, but she also really dug the Frida soundtrack.
Rebel Heartbreaker Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Madonna is musical and obviously hears a lot of music, being in the industry. My favourite albums flip flop each week (this week it is Gus Gus' 'Mexico' - last week it was Indiana's 'No Romeo'). I think for the most part she has good taste. I remember her saying she loved Gwen Guthrie, back in the 80s.
Glindathegood Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I remember her saying one of her favorite albums was Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark. Even though Joni has criticized her, even in the Jonathan Ross interview she said she was a fan. I still feel especially on Rebel Heart with her acoustic guitar and some of the confessional honest lyrics, you can still hear the Joni influence.
nick00 Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 She had amazing taste when she was a teen if her favorite was Ziggy. Also think her first concert was bowie's diamond dogs tour.
Paul Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 She loves Taylor Swift TS is her favourite artist ... she loves all her songs, especially ..um .. that one that goes .. with the words and the chords ... oh yeah shake it up! She of course loved Bjork's Debut. And Iggy Pop.
AlanLongoria Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Guy said she liked Cheek to Cheek didn't he? Paris Hilton said Madonna told her she loved her album too
le smoking Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 She said their second album was better than Music! Off the top of my head, she's mentioned that she loved the Frou Frou, Lauryn Hill and Lemon Jelly albums. She said in her iTunes playlist that she liked Kylie's X and Britney's Blackout, and told the Spice Girls that she liked their first album
Nightshade Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 I believe she once did a Top 5 list for Rolling Stone that included the Smashing Pumpkins' Adore album.
jacket Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Ray of Light is her favourite of her own albums. According to the Reddit AMA last year. Guy said she liked Cheek to Cheek didn't he? Paris Hilton said Madonna told her she loved her album too Madonna was "appreciating" the "Tony Bennett Duet Album" according to Guy.
Donuts Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 She said she loved The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill...this was before the 1999 Grammys And the Frida Kahlo soundtrack
Barney Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 She mentioned Bjork again after she released Homogenic.
Roland Barthes Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Mr Scruff The moderns soundtrack Last temptation of Christ soundtrack Lately James Blake
Creepy Insane Person Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Didn't she have Kylie's Nu-di-Ty from the 'X' album on a workout list? Pretty sure that was Speakerphone.
Phineaspoe Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Pretty sure that was Speakerphone. That's what I recall as well. The Mimi admission – what a revelation! And yes, she liked Goldfrapp's first or second record. And I'm pretty sure she mentioned Kendrick Lamar's last record as a reason why she chose to work with DJ Dahi.
Crux Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I remember her saying she adored "Supernature" by Goldfrapp. I must admit, I did too. It's a great record.
Jazzy Jan Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I remember reading in an early interview with her that she loved the song "Take a letter Maria" She also said in the same interview - if I can remember correctly - that she loved Motown music much more than the Beatles and Stones.
