Just missing out on this are 2 very different tracks: I'm Going Bananas - batshit crazy and objectively awful but just SO MUCH FUN Love Tried To Welcome Me - one of the few tracks on Bedtime Stories which understands that a good song usually features a melody and a hook, just a little too subtle to be much higher.
October 31, 20159 yr I feel like Wash All Over Me will rank fairly highly and rightfully so, signs that she still has that essential MADGE magic to her music.
November 1, 20159 yr 'Love Tried To Welcome Me' is one of my favourites from Bedtime Stories - another great example of how Madonna just nails ballads, although the lack of usual raw vocals allows the emotion to come directly from the lyrics. Seems strange to see 4 and 5 tracks from Hard Candy and MDNA given how you've made it clear they're bottom of the heap in terms of albums, but there's certainly plenty of gems dotted around on both albums.
November 1, 20159 yr Author Both of those albums are odd in that when she nails it, she totally nails it but when she gets it wrong it's career worst music. Same goes for Rebel Heart too.
