Crystal Coffin Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I repeat, bitches: THE 1989 ALBUM VERSION. Not any of the remixes or edits the fuck, or the live performances. Please, appreciate the ORGANIC production.
ryan Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I'd much rather praise the 7" or the 12" Extended Remix, or better yet the merger of the 2 in Bellenger's proper 12" version.

madonna_fan1988 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The album version? You mean the main version? The legendary one? The one actually known and loved by all the public? Probably Madonna's signature hit and that will never change i guess. Always hated that crap included on The Immaculate Collection. They cut many of her hits on that compilation...but decided to include a completely unnecessary Like A Prayer version that was even bigger than the album version? Weird decision!
HavenHigh Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah this is the best ever, not a "let's sing and clap along" dance number, I blame Shep for turning the track into that!
nick00 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Always preferred album version much more than TIC version.
Carta Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The album version is brilliant! I must say, though, that it lacked bass, which they rectified with the "Celebration" remaster.
Guest Rachelle of London Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The best version of the best song ever
Jazzy Jan Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Brilliant in every way. The original and the best. Highlighted perfectly her clear wonderful vocals and had so much passion. Unique, magnificent song that was so different and holds up as a classic every time I hear it.
Apples388 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Well of course it's wonderful but we all know Madonna's favourite version and the one she has consistently performed live is based on Shep's remix. #truthhurts
Apples388 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 let's sing and clap along" dance number, I blame Shep for turning the track into that! Wrong
karbatal Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I love the album version, always much much much better than the She's remix. The album version may sound dated now, but at the time, it was incredible, no song had sounded like that, with so many stops and go and drums and everything. Beautiful. The bridge is incredible, with the back choir. The ending is fabulous. But Shep's version is really great too and works perfect life. That OH MY GOD OH MY GOD .... brilliant. And the middle part...
loomer Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Album version easily best, most organic version
MeakMaker Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Madonna was the first artist who literally took us all to church with Like A Prayer... All this "take me to church" talk I've been hearing lately is an insult to me as Madonnas been taking the whole world to church since 1989! The album ( unremixed) version is a pure assault to the senses. The organ intro... the dreamy verses... the explosion of the chorus and the out of this world bridge where she makes us all reach an orgasm through the power of both the Holy Spirit and sexual desire. Like A Prayer is the pop masterpiece no other artist would ever come close to repeat.
Crystal Coffin Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Well of course it's wonderful but we all know Madonna's favourite version and the one she has consistently performed live is based on Shep's remix. #truthhurts The album version has never been done live!
kingvirtue Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The album version sounds magical and wonderful!
Jairo Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Album version is GLORIOUS. But yeah, TIC is more famous just because that album sold millions of copies around the world. For example, my mom told me that she danced the TIC version in a club back then and also the radio played it. She had no idea about the original version.
ryan Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The album version has never been done live!She'll do it one day for sure. No one ever thought she'd do the immaculate mix live again, and she did after 22 years. She's not gonna repeat herself.
LHakaLH Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The album version has never been done live! Well of course it's wonderful but we all know Madonna's favourite version and the one she has consistently performed live is based on Shep's remix. #truthhurts Wasn't the acoustic version performed at RIT kinda based on the original album one??
HavenHigh Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 RIT version is still closer to the TIC version because of the drums during the verses...
Apples388 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 The RIT version (aka Wedding Band Remix) is an abomination.
Crystal Coffin Posted September 6, 2015 Author Posted September 6, 2015 The RIT version (aka Wedding Band Remix) is an abomination.
5iVe Elements Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 YAAASSSSSSSS!!!! That intro alone slays many songs out there.
Platinum Gold Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 It's good. But the version on TIC is better. The dance break is life
tasteinmen Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Album version is the definitive version, I adore it, the production is flawless.
HolidayGuy Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 TIC version is perfectly fine, but, the album version is pretty darn close to perfection (7" mix isn't that drastically different).
