HolidayGuy Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 https://thump2.vice.com/en_us/article/the-99-greatest-dance-albums-of-all-time This list has some curious choices, but no matter. Two entries from Her Madgesty (and her likeness is represented in the illustration at the top). And, so spot-on with the commentary. (COADF wasn't Maverick, as fas as I know, but a minor point). 26. Madonna: Madonna [sire] 1983All the groundbreaking, world-changing, genre-defining, imitator-inspiring aside, Madonna's first album is just really fucking fun to dance to. From "Lucky Star" all the way through to "Everybody," the stream of bright, sexy, and unfussy pop doesn't falter once. Madonna provided the New York City dance scene a much needed post-disco palate cleanser and drew the blueprint for future dance pop. 3. Madonna: Confessions on a Dance Floor [Maverick] 2005Long after many started saying "I only like her old stuff," the Queen of Pop dropped this start-to-finish perfect album of disco-inspired club cuts, each track mixed—a rarity for non-compilations. While a pop star's club throne is never guaranteed forever, Madonna has more claims to the top spot than most and Confessions proves why. This is the album all her subsequent albums is compared to; for its enduring relevance and how it redefined Madonna as an artist, it should be.

HolidayGuy Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 The debut is all uptempo, and COADF is mostly. ROL has more ballads/lower-tempo numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 What a flop list. Where is Technotronic, who basically made techno music mainstream back in 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Are you referring to "Pump Up the Jam"? That hit in later 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
