Madonna

^ I still remember how I was shocked when I saw the video of "Live To Tell": the change from the "Virgin" era was actually really drastic: I barely could recognize her...lol!! It was just few months later that I completely fell in love with her...and I still do....she is the longest love of my life

I loved her early image too, through 1991. Personally her latter looks usually blur together, or I guess I've grown out of being interested in image, but the evolution and detours she took from 1983-1991 was almost as interesting as the music. I can't think of another artist in the past 25 years who has taken such a drastic yet successful reinvention from the Like A Virgin era to True Blue, and just a year difference too.

When she's recording albums she always carries lots of books and stuff...i'd DIE to see what's inside!!

+1!!
I'm so HUNGRY of new details about the album....I just need new Madonna music: 4 years waiting have been too much, seriously!!!

yeah i hope she doesn't do this again anytime soon!!

Madonna in New York (October 17 2011)



Love to see she doesn't look her age at all when she wears casual and with no make up: she still rocks

[AlexZ]

New York Magazine: Five History-Making MTV Music Videos

2 Madonna videos
“Like a Virgin” (1984)
“Material Girl” (1985)

It's my top 2 her favourite videos.

It's true those are two alltime classic video....Hardcore Fans in general tend to underestimate her 80's efforts

I'm more casual her fan. I love her in 80s more.
My favourite her albums:
Like A Virgin, Madonna, True Blue.
(Singles in that period were amazing pop)

Yes, Madonna in bride dress is classic photo.

When it comes to looks I think she was at her peak right here:

Nah...she was impersonating Marilyn Monroe there...i like it but she did a lot better IMO off course

(i respect your opinion of course xD)

[denise]

^ Lately I'm praising instead her early look: ICONIC!!!

Well I guess I wouldn't have shortened anything, I would just take out half the album lol. The perfect "Erotica" would be:
1.Erotica
2.Thief Of Hearts
3.Where Life Begins
4.Bad Girl
5.Waiting
6.Goodbye To Innocence
7.Words
8.In This Life
9.Why's It So Hard
10.Secret Garden
BONUS. This Used To Be My Playground

Everything else should have been kept for b-sides

Everyone can create his own album...more songs just give you a wider choices!! I Like your list btw!!

I agree with NoAngel I wouldn't have put out "Rain": I've been skipping it for years, I discover how it's beautifull this song just lately....LOL!! "Bye Bye Baby" and "Fever" have been amongst the faves of the album for years since I got the album.....

But "Rain" is one of her best ballads!

The one issue I always had with Erotica was just that the tracks sometime dragged on a little longer than needed. But this was 1992, it was when vinyl had really faded from view and a lot of artists were suddenly given far more space to fill up an album compared to a few years before when 45-50 mins was the max unless you wanted a higher priced double album, and I think Erotica was one of those 90's albums that suffered from artists feeling like they needed to put out longer albums to fill up space when there's a brilliant 45 minute album in there.

The worst case is Dangeous from Michael Jackson!

Jesus! From track 1 to track 6 (from Jam to Can't Let Her Get Away) those tracks could be much better with half their sizes!

Erotica is not that tragic i think...Did You Do It is the only filler for me IMO

Agreed with all you said + I would have shortened "In This Life" the song that above all is TOO long!!!
"Did You Do It": well I even do not consider it a Madge song

Erotica Good album!!

The only song I don't get is Did You Do It?

The album flows so good & I love her vocals in it. I did feel like some of the songs dragged on to much but I still liked them

Erotica, Fever, Bad Girl, Waiting, Rain, Why's It So Hard >>>

Going to give it another spin

[NoAngel]

I SO love "American Life"!

X-Static Process
Love Profusion
Mother And Father
Nobody Knows Me
Easy Ride

All are amazing track....IMO!!!!

Everything apart title track and "I'm So Stupid" is a pure art

OT: This smiley need to be included ASAP

Damn didn't know Bedtime Stories was R&B That's my next album!

you've never heard Secret or Human Nature? Definitely a better r&b effort than Hard Candy for sure.

Bedtime Stories is amazing.
The strangest thing is... most of the stuff on it sounds fresher than those on most actual R&B/Pop artists' albums released around the same time period, like "janet." & "Musicbox", both of which haven't aged too well, in my opinion.
