During which era did you become a fan? (THIS IS A POLL)

[Pedro]

Madonna, I Was 14, i loved Everybody!!!

[Guest material_boy]

"Bedtime Stories."

The smash hit trio of "I'll Remember," "Secret," and "Take a Bow" got me. And then I got "Something to Remember" and heard "I Want You" and I damn near fainted

But it really wasn't until "Frozen" that I became obsessed. Thank God the internet was coming alive at that time so I could track down other super fans.

[kingvirtue]

"Lucky Star" and "Boderline" videos on Mtv!

[Guest Rachelle of London]

Bedtime Stories, i was 3 and obsessed with the cassette.

[gigi]

I was six years old when I saw someone coming of a cake and rolling arround the stage in a wedding dress on telly.

I was infected with madonnanitis right away

[karbatal]

I loved the singles of Virgin era but I became a loon with True Blue

[renee205]

When I first saw the Borderline Video I was hooked, I actually saw the Burning up video previously but i didn't pay much attention to it, just some random girl rolling around the pavement but man I was hit by the power of Madonna with Borderline....

[Amzer801]

MDNA but I was exposed to her music since my childhood: my mom is a big fan and went to see her in '87.

[Guest Rocco Papa]

For me it was the Music era. I was in 5th grade. There was a special on VH1 called Madonna's Greatest TV Moments. I was watching it one night and became a fan right then and there. The Immaculate Collection was actually my first Madonna album. I also had the DVD, which I would watch all the time. Then, I got GHV2 when it came out later that year. I remember watching the Drowned World Tour live on HBO and her opening performance at the Grammys that same year. I also remember MTV2 re-airing all the past Madonna specials (Breakfast/Dinner with Madonna, No Bull, Pajama Party, etc.) during the American Life era. So I was able to catch up on everything!!

[Guest ziggy]

She has always interested me but it wasn't until You'll See that my fandom was officially sealed for good, so I'm the only one (so far) who ticked STR.

[loomer]

I'm Breathless is when I had to finally bite.

Madonna/Madonna she didnt even have a video yet. now we know that Everybody and Burning Up was but never played on MTV or played on Friday Night Videos, so we were clueless until after the fact. Holiday was huge and I had her cassette, i was stuck on Borderline before there was a video. i LOVED the background singers on it. it was all soulful.

this is my original cassette from 1983:

i remember the first time i heard her speaking voice. i was shocked because i thought she was gonna sound all Everybody and Physical Attraction'd out. I know youve been waiting yeah...

instead she was all whiney!

[loomer]

[sul8323]

True Blue was my first M album. To be honest, I did not know that Live to Tell, Angel and Into the Groove were all sang by the same person. I know that sounds stupid but I was pretty young. As well, my family did not listen to anything but country music so I was not even aware of Madonna until the Like a Virgin craze was completely over with. By Who's that Girl Tour, I was obsessed and nothing would ever be the same again. LOL

Bedtime Stories/Something To Remember was my intro to Madonna songs...my mom was a causual fan

I discovered Ray of Light about a year after it was released and started to explore some of her previous work...I was 11 or 12

The 1999 VMA tribute Sept 9,1999(9.9.99) was probably the moment I realized this woman was truly iconic and really made me want to explore all her work

MUSIC Era was the first Era I was on the same wavelength as other fans,bought the cassette and CD once it was released

[jimster48]

Everybody beginning of madonna 1983

[freddykrueger86]

Between Confessions and Hard Candy. Later was the first album release I followed closely.

[surannée]

I was aware of Madonna from the beginning but I didn't become a fan until I saw the "Borderline" video around March 1984.

[Guest bluejean]

I love that half the people here have been fans since the 80's

[runa]

LA ISLA BONITA is the 1st Madonna song I fell for. I was 11 yo

[johndvd25]

After watching a laser disc copy of BAT, Nice...the express yourself performance completely blew me away! My life and my taste for live performances was never been the same way again.

I was 14, i immediately asked my father to accompany me to the record shop and asked him to buy me a cassette tape to pay for it. (My father was very supportive during the early days of my madonna collecting. He even bought me the Sex book!) So i asked the saleslady to give me the latest album of madonna and she handed me The Immaculate Collection! And the rest is history.

[Brasileiro]

HAHAHA... It just brought back all the bad memories from the songs I really dislike. Even the perfect pop artist has hiccups.

The Erotica era was just perfection

[imyourcandyperfumegirl]

Post MDNA Tour DVD being made available on netflix, pre-Secret Project, so i guess that would make me MDNA-era? I vividly remember following every instagram post she made about it as a brand new baby fan
