BuzzJack Music Forum _ Madonna _ Ultimate Madonna Rate ● 80s
Posted by: HausofTove 10th June 2019, 07:49 PM
Hello all and welcome to, quite simply, the biggest undertaking this forum (or perhaps any artist forum on this site) has ever done.
Over the course of the next few months, we will be conducting the Ultimate Madonna Rate. "But we've done this before!!1" you might say... not like this 
In the past we have held 80s singles rates, rates for all of her singles across the years but never have we rated every single song that Madonna has released.. until now!
In order to make this mammoth task feasible, we have decided to separate her huge, decade-spanning career into sections, starting here with the 80s. Below is every song released by Madonna in the 80s. Rate them. One 11, one -1. Simple ~
We will then do the same for other eras of Madonna's career, before eventually presenting every single song as rated by you.

I will do this soon, that's a lot of songs to rate though, a lot of them I haven't heard I don't think. 'Into The Groove' is easily my favourite though of her 80s stuff.
Posted by: HausofTove 10th June 2019, 08:09 PM
Excited to see your rate *.* A great choice for favourite of this bunch.
And yep, there is (and will be) a lot of songs to get through but that's part of the fun! Try and do as many of the songs as you can - it'd be greatly appreciated if you could do all of them of course, but as many as you can will be great

We have our first rate! Thanks vibe 
Posted by: Medellíam 11th June 2019, 05:30 PM
Fab 11/10 song there! 'Crazy for You' may have been her first own ballad but it still rates as one of her very best.
I feel like my Like a Virgin rate will leave a few question marks...
Posted by: HausofTove 11th June 2019, 05:31 PM
Song or album?
Posted by: Medellíam 11th June 2019, 05:33 PM
I was referring to the album but in a way that includes the song!
Posted by: vibe 11th June 2019, 06:28 PM
LAV is my least fav album apart from mdna , funny this made her a megastar 😉
Posted by: Medellíam 11th June 2019, 06:40 PM
Yup, it's one of my least favourites too. It's just very 80s-by-numbers for me and I hate the vocal pitching.

Ooooops but it is her worst album for me. I don't care at all for MDNA either but I'd probably rather listen to that over Like a Virgin these days.

Suddenly my Like a Virgin rate doesn't seem quite as bad! It's not obvious from my rate but 'Shoo-Bee-Doo' is actually in my Top 5 of the album. Some of the songs on the album have the potential to be better but I'm not a fan of some of the vocal pitching and production. Her debut album seems so slick and cool and I imagine quite forward-thinking for the time as they used new technology on the album, then you get to Like a Virgin which feels quite cluttered and less thought out.

This was an interesting experience for me, because there's quite a few Madonna albums I've never heard in full (i.e. there's loads of album tracks I haven't heard). I had always intended to find a moment to listen through Madonna's back catalogue but never did... until now! This was the perfect excuse.

Yay! Glad to see you seemed to have had a great listening experience; there's so much on offer away from the big hits. 'Til Death Do Us Part' is a huge favourite of mine. I love how the production compliments the frantic nature of the lyrics, even though on the surface it sounds like a jolly pop song. Madonna's always had a gift for this sort of juxtaposition. The lyrics are heartbreaking, yet so catchy and clever too.

Angel and TDDUP are fan favourites. God choices .

It's so hard to compare songs I'm hearing for the first time with classics I've loved for years but there we go!
'Like A Prayer', 'La Isla Bonita' + 'Into The Groove' are my top 3
Excited to make my way through the 90s as 'Frozen' is my favourite Madge song!

Considering it's the first time you've heard many of those songs, I'd say that's a fairly positive rate! Always interesting to see which songs appeal to first time listeners. Which songs that you hadn't heard before did you really take to?
Posted by: HausofTove 16th July 2019, 06:14 AM
Great rate! The 80s are fairly standard pop throughout so I'm glad there was consistent enjoyment. 90s will have incredible moments (such as your fave Frozen and its entire parent album) but also some moments in other albums that may divide your opinion.

Yes I definitely enjoyed that trip into her 80s stuff, largely helped by it being synth central *.* I think my favourite discovery was ‘Live To Tell’ - a song title that I’ve been familiar with for years, but I’d somehow avoided ever hearing it.

From first looks your rates seem fantastic Liam! Shall have to have a closer look when I'm not drunk in the morning.
Posted by: Medellíam 14th August 2019, 01:44 PM
Results will be starting when Bal gets back from his hols. You got another week to go so can we get a final push for rates?
Posted by: vibe 15th August 2019, 08:51 PM
His rate is appalling.
3 for CFY
Posted by: HausofTove 21st August 2019, 09:01 PM
Starting to add the scores up - exciting!
Still time to get any last minute rates in for any of the decades x
Posted by: Jay ☆ 22nd August 2019, 12:32 AM
Forgot to listen to these until now!
05.0 Ain't No Big Deal
04.0 Supernatural

Looking back at my 80s rate, I feel like I was a tad over generous with some songs! Bearing in mind that I was listening to & rating her 80s music without having experienced the vast majority of the 90s, 00s and 10s Madonna music.
These two scores stand out to me particularly:
08.0 Who's That Girl
09.0 Causing a Commotion
If I was doing this now I think I'd reduce them to a 7 and an 8 respectively I think. Obviously not a drastic reduction lol but yeah. I do still think that Causing a Commotion is a very fun song, but in the scheme of things I definitely wouldn't consider it as a 9 in her career any more.
(Not asking for edits to be done though, I'll stand by these scores as being how I felt on the day I rated!)
