I've never liked this album as much as others do. I know it's generally regarded as one of her best works but I've always found it a bit too long for my liking and I end up getting a bit bored before it's over.

My top three would have to be:
1 Frozen (in her top five songs ever for me )
2 Ray of Light
3 Drowned World/Substitute for Love

I very rarely revisit much of this aside from Frozen though

01. Frozen
02. Ray of Light
03. Drowned World/Substitute for Love

Same top 3 as Josh 'Frozen' is my favourite ever Madonna song *.* her eerie vocals mixed with the ambient William Orbit production is a recipe for perfection.

1. Drowned World
2. Ray of light
3. Mer Girl

No votes for Power of Goodbye!

I wish I'd chosen it now, it was so close!

Posted by: gooddelta 26th November 2017, 06:25 PM

The Power Of Goodbye/Frozen/Ray Of Light

The former is third only to Hung Up and Like A Prayer in my overall Madonna affections, gorgeous track.

Sky Fits Heaven, Drowned World/Substitute for Love and Nothing Really Matters would be 4th, 5th and 6th, great album.

3. Frozen

Frozen My fave Madge song!!
Ray Of Light
The Power Of Goodbye

I am pretty sure this is my favourite Madonna album

Posted by: aeroco 27th November 2017, 10:27 PM

It was a stunning return to the big league, building on the gains made from Something to Remember and Evita. We had so much new music from her in the 1990s.

1. Frozen
2. Nothing Really Matters
3. The Power of Goodbye

Drowned World, Ray of Light were also both excellent singles. Fantastic imagery throughout the campaign and the album is brilliant throughout. I have all the instrumentals of each track and they make a gorgeous listen.

1. Ray of light
2. Drowned world (my substitute for love)
3. Nothing really matters

Adore every single off this album and love Mer Girl, Swim, Skin Ashanti... it's a fab album

'Ray of Light' is a definite vote. 'Skin' too as that's one I remember being in awe of even as a kid and the experience has stuck to this day. The third vote is pretty tricky - I'm thinking 'Nothing Really Matters' as that's really stood out as a favourite this past year or so, but any of 'Drowned World', 'Sky Fits Heaven', 'Frozen' or 'The Power of Goodbye' could easily take third any other day.

Frozen
The Power of Goodbye
Sky Fits Heaven

Wish I could’ve fit Ray of Light in

Posted by: HausAlone 4th December 2017, 08:41 PM

Wait..

I refuse to vote for only THREE. Let me have 4 please.

Can't decide 3 between:

Nothing Really Matters
Sky Fits Heaven
Frozen
The Power of Goodbye

THIS IS TORTURE HELP

Posted by: liamk97 9th December 2017, 02:13 PM

This has to be the hardest round so far! I've gone for 'Ray of Light', 'Skin' and 'Nothing Really Matters' but there's so many others that I could have voted for too.

Even on Confessions I have a good idea of what will be my Holy Trinity.

Posted by: HausAlone 18th December 2017, 06:13 PM

I've gone for:

Sky Fits Heaven
Frozen
The Power of Goodbye

after MUCH deliberation Hardest one to date and a massive shoutout to Nothing Really Matters, Skin and Ray of Light!

Posted by: ❄The Snow. 24th December 2017, 03:20 PM

Voted just for Frozen as it is the only one I know oops.... It is a fantastic song and I really like the ambient trip hop production and Madonna's vocal in it! One of the best pop songs of the 90s imo.

Posted by: HausAlone 26th December 2017, 02:41 PM

You should give more of the album a chance if you enjoy Frozen (particularly the singles here). You might end up loving them as much

Posted by: liamk97 26th December 2017, 02:50 PM

I second this. 'Ray of Light', 'Skin' and 'Sky Fits Heaven' are all particularly interesting production-wise and I reckon you'll really like them.

I mean, the whole album is magical but those three in particular are ones I'd recommend.

Posted by: Euphorique 26th December 2017, 03:01 PM

Power Of Goodbye, Sky Fits Heaven, Nothing Really Matters

Posted by: Hide&Seek 1st January 2018, 11:17 PM

I don't have all her albums, but bought several a couple of months ago.
I only really know the earlier albums inside out, but I gave this one three listens today !


I vote for :

Sky Fits Heaven - shoulda been a single!
Little Star - I can't believe I'm it's only voter !?
The Power of Goodbye - a toss up between this and Frozen, coulda gone either way.

The Power of Goodbye
Sky Fits Heaven
Shanti/Ashtangi

Posted by: Jordan Lee 31st March 2018, 09:42 PM

Skin
Sky Fits Heaven
Frozen

Posted by: Qween 6th April 2018, 07:53 PM

Skin
Ray of Light
The Power of Good-Bye

All 10/10 amazing which, of course, a large swathe of the album is. Skin has the most delightful production, all the flourishes and little touches deserve to be listened to in super high quality.

Posted by: liamk97 15th April 2018, 04:56 PM

Absolutely! I remember listening to it at 11/12 years old for the first time and being totally mesmerised by it. This album as a whole was probably my first experience of breaking out from the typical, mainstream pop I was so used to and I really felt enlightened by what I heard. Thinking back it was such a huge experience to have at such a young age, but it truly was like nothing I'd ever heard before, especially with 'Skin'.
