Definitely Oh Father and Like a Prayer but I can't decide on my third pick so I'm going to relisten to the album and vote after that!

Posted by: liamk97 22nd October 2017, 05:59 PM

Agreed! Those are my two choices but I have no idea for the third.

Posted by: dandyman* 🐝🐝 22nd October 2017, 06:59 PM

Easy... Like a Prayer, Til Death Do Us Part and Oh Father.

All three are among my absolute favourites from her.

Posted by: Jo...shh! It's coming 22nd October 2017, 07:00 PM

Like a Prayer and Cherish are two of my favourite Madonna singles! The latter especially is just so underrated

I chose Dear Jessie for the third choice because I like the "pink elephants and lemonade" hook a lot! This isn't one of my favourite albums by her though really.

1. Oh Father




2. Like A Prayer
3. Cherish

Till Death Do Us Part or Primise To Try could have been given a placing on another day.

Very tough, selected Like a Prayer, Express Yourself and Promise to Try....but could easily have chosen Oh Father, Dear Jessie, Love Song.....

I always skip Love Song, and stop the CD before Act of Contrition - everything else is wonderful. Her second best album, after True Blue.

I eventually voted for Cherish, Til Death Do Us Part & Dear Jessie.
There was a bit of ooohing and aaahing over this poll, as Keep It Together & Oh Father need my votes too.

Ha I do the same! I enjoy the first minute or so of 'Love Song' but it just plods on - I feel like it should completely change direction and throw the listener off course, like a crazy Prince guitar solo and the song speeds up and changes melody. Madonna and Prince are two of the greatest artists ever; this should have been hailed as an album highlight, not one people want to skip.

Not enough votes for Till Death Do Us Part... it is such a gem in her catalogue of album tracks, although I can understand why the production would be difficult to love if you didn't hear it at the time.

Voted for Like A Prayer, Cherish and Dear Jessie!

Posted by: dandyman* 🐝🐝 25th October 2017, 11:46 AM

Surprised at Dear Jessie being so well loved. I do quite like it but I'd never thought of it as being a track that Madonna fans were particularly fond of.

1. Like a prayer
2. Express yourself
3. Promise to try

(Cherish replaces PTT on some days)

1. Like A Prayer
2. Express Yourself
3. Cherish

Dear Jessie, Cherish, Like A Prayer

Posted by: liamk97 27th October 2017, 01:03 PM

I went for 'Like a Prayer', 'Oh Father' and 'Express Yourself' in the end (based on the Shep Pettibone-mixed single version). I really wanted to award 'Till Death Do Us Part' and 'Spanish Eyes' points to, plus 'Cherish' would be deserving too. Definitely the hardest round so far.

Posted by: Joe. 27th October 2017, 09:42 PM

Cherish, Like a Prayer and of course Express Yourself (though I don’t like the original album version much)

Posted by: WitchHaus 29th October 2017, 12:41 PM

After much deliberation i've gone for:

Like A Prayer
Oh Father
Promise To Try

A very difficult album to choose for though!

Posted by: Mikee1981 1st November 2017, 02:02 PM

Cherish, Like A Prayer and Oh Father

Posted by: Jordan Lee 31st March 2018, 09:35 PM

Like A Prayer
Cherish
Express Yourself
