'Oh Father' and 'You'll See' are two of her best ballads! So glad to see them make an appearance.
 Never really got the fuss over 'Queen'. I know the lyrics are really honest and reflective but the song itself just doesn't do anything for me.  Totally expected an appearance from 'Candy Shop'!  It is a big guilty pleasure for me to be honest and I'm beginning to just accept it.I'm expecting more controversial choices in the shape of 'Hanky Panky' and 'Revolver' but also some beauties from American Life too. |

Queen and Oh Father are the highlights so far for me, really love both. Queen is a great example of the type of song I want to hear more of from her now while Oh Father is her most emotional ballad for me, I adore it.
As for what is to come - I know one track from American Life will feature for certain as I love it as much as you do but not sure about the others... |

10. Like A Prayer First off in the top 10 is Madge's most iconic song, or one of them anyway. The lead single from the album of the same name, the video to this song, which has a whole bunch of religious syymbols in it, caused a lot of hoohaa and it was boycotted by some people and led to Pepsi dropping her from their ads. The song is a perfect marriage of rock-pop and gosepl music. I defy anyone to listen to this song and NOT sing along to the chorus. especially when the choir kicks in. It never fails to go off live too, whether she does it traditionally or remixes it. |

Obviously a Madge essential, simply cannot fault it

'Like a Prayer' seems to reach out to the biggest audience, like people who aren't fans of Madonna or aren't fans of pop music seem to love that song. It's easy to see why as it has a huge, anthemic, sing-along chorus and has the ability to really unite the dancefloor. It's not one of my personal top favourites but it's definitely up there with her best.

09. Time Stood Still The Next Best Thing is......okay I admit it, I kinda like it. I actually quite like her acting, she's not the best but there are far worse out there. This song was recorded for this movie and then got totally overlooked forevermore. Which is a crime. One of her most haunting and motional ballads, her voice is just heavenly from start to finish and it is expertly produced. Sadly the song was never made a single or put on the Music album, beingrejected in favour of American Pie. Hmmmm. |

08. Isaac Okay, I admit it, I don't hate Confessions as mcuh as I used to. It's actually risen the ranks to my 3rd favourite all time Madge album. Don't tell Haus. Isaac is one of the best tracks on it (does that mean another Confessions song is to come?  ) and one of her best ever. When she sings "wrestle with your darkness"I get chills. The chanting and the dark and pulsing backing track all blend together and it really doesn't feel like it is as long as 6 months. THe way it picks up pace as it goes on too is just eargasmic. It mizes old and new perfectly. |

I quite like Time Stood Still on first listen, the chorus is quite lovely and the strings really make it.
Isaac is good too, not top 10 worthy for me but it does stand out as being something different among her back catalogue and definitely one of the highs on Confessions. |

Time Stood Still is really lush, can't believe I hadn't heard it before you mentioned it a couple of weeks back!
Isaac is a Confessions highlight for sure! Glad you've come round to the album too. Just Ray of Light to go now!

I also adore the "wrestle with your darkness" lyric. Great pic and excited to see if there's more Confessions to come

07. La Isla Bonita Shake your maracas y'all. The last single from her True Blue album, and the one that I feel is the best of the bunch. A song about a mystical beautiful island, the song is the sort of thing I imagine Jennifer Lopez would sing if she was around in the late 80's making music. More in line with Gloria Estefan than Madonna, it sticks out for it's latin rhytms and never fais to whisk you away to a tropical climate. Another one that explodes live and one she does a fair bit too which is great. I adore the mash up with Latte she did on Sticky & Sweet. One thing I don't like is her dancing in a flowing gown surrounded by fire in the video, gurl, fire safety! |

"La Isla Bonita" is one of my Madge faves! Love the Latin vibes - it was defo the inspiration for the gay anthem "Mi Chico Latino" by Geri too

Well that's a classic choice so no arguing to be found here. It's aged rather well too hasn't it? Especially as if there was one of her big hits I'd have expected to age quite badly it would have been that.
Well, aside from True Blue. |

It has indeed ages really well, not bad for a song recorded in the 80's.

06. The Power Of Good-Bye The first time a Ray of Light song appears, although Tim Stood Still could easily have been on it. 4th single from the album and it was another big hit for her, obviously, it's too gorgeous not to be. A song all about how saying good0bye can be good for you and a powerful experience, it is not too different in sound to Frozen, but I always preferred this, her voice seems more warm and emotional on it, I guess a song called Frozen doesn't call for warmth but anyway. |
