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 :wub:)

2 Ray of Light

3 Drowned World/Substitute for Love

 

I very rarely revisit much of this aside from Frozen though :o

01. Frozen

02. Ray of Light

03. Drowned World/Substitute for Love

 

Same top 3 as Josh :kink: '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

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.

Frozen :heart: My fave Madge song!!

Ray Of Light

The Power Of Goodbye

 

I am pretty sure this is my favourite Madonna album :heart:

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 :wub:

'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 :(

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

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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!

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.

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 :o

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.

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.
