I'm Breathless is Madonna studio album! It has her name on it. It's not a soundtrack. The Dick Tracy soundtrack is something completely different.

I'm so happy to see True Blue in your Top 3. It's my all-time favorite Madonna album. I adore the whole track list. Can't believe many Madonna fans usually don't even place it in the Top 5. Shame! Rebel Heart is close to my Top 5 too. I adore it but many masterpieces were cut from the final list (Revolution, Alone with You, Nothing Lasts Forever, Never Let You Go, Heaven, Queen, Trust No B*tch, Tragic Girl, God is Love)

Thanks for sharing! Personally, feel like we tend to like a particular album more based on where we are in our own life at the moment. As we pass through the different ups and downs, we prefer different themes, and consequently her respective albums appeal more. Ofcourse exceptions exist like: Ray of Light, very hard to budge it really.

You think White Heat, Where’s The Party, Jimmy Jimmy and Love Makes The World Go Round aren’t good? I LOVE Where’s The Party? Also Love Makes The World Go Round. Check out her LMTWGR Live Aid performance and Where’s The Party on WTG world tour. They’re great songs. Musically her first albums are her best because Niles Rodgers, Stephen Bray and Pat Leonard were super solid musicians and their academic skills balanced perfectly with her instinctive talents. Also except for Niles, they weren’t famous so their sounds became hers. Unlike Mirwais, Babyface, William Orbit, Stuart Price…I sometimes wish she’d stuck with Bray and Leonard like Elton John did with Taupin but of course that’s not her style at all. Shapeshifting queen of reinvention. But musically it could have been something.

I think u, Sir, r now my Favorite Ranker. I TOTALLY agree w/ u on "Ray of Light" being Number 1 on a Chart. NEVER bought ANYTHING AFTER Confessions, though there r SOME Hits... It shall NEVER Surpass Ray of Light. The Debut Album is & STILL is one of my favorite Abums, thugh "Like a Virgin" gets a Higher Ranking. Music was the LAST Album that i purchased in the Early 2000's. I would PURCHASE Something 2 Remember OVER, say, Rebel Heart or MDNA. OK... THE LAST Album i purchased was "Finally Enough Love".... I love practically EVERY Track on thet. Thanks 4 hearing me Ramble on, lol!!

To me Like a prayer is the most versatile, most personal, musically complex artistic but pure pop masterpiece with great lyrics and visuals (Like a prayer, Express yourself, Cherish and Oh father are the best music videos ever). Also great messages. Ray of light is also a genius work and Erotica was so ahead of its time. My close second and third. And American life is her most underrated album ever. I give her the fourth place. The worst album is def MDNA 90% of the songs are trash, not even the tour helped ...

1. Debut album is a fun beginning but not particularly amazing anymore, still fun tho. 2. Like A Virgin is easily on the weaker side, the singles are (mostly) great, but those last three songs (Shoo Bee Doo, Pretender, Stay), literal filler. 😭 It would be SO much stronger if instead of those three songs it had Into the Groove (which later versions got), Crazy for You, and Gambler. 3. True Blue is already possibly the best album of the 80s, but if it lost Jimmy Jimmy, and instead gained the Who’s that Girl OST singles (the title track, Causing A Commotion, The Look of Love), as well as Spotlight and M’s original version of Each Time You Break My Heart, it would be 13 tracks of pure perfection that not even Thriller could’ve hoped to achieve. 4. The only weak song on Like A Prayer is (in my opinion) Love Song, but it contributed to the creation of Hung Up almost two decades later so I can’t hate it. 5. Erotica is perfect (I always go to the version without Did You Do It?, lol), 6. Bedtime Stories is great but I would’ve removed Don’t Stop and I’d Rather Be Your Lover and instead put Your Honesty, flows better in my opinion. 7. Ray of Light is perfect. 8. Music is perfect. 9. American Life is perfect. 10. Confessions is perfect. 11. Hard Candy is fun but not perfect. 12. MDNA is also fun (and MDNA is still her best tour imo, and yes I attended Confessions Tour in person). 13. Rebel Heart got a messy release, but if it had been organized better into a proper double album (the Rebel and the Heart sides) it would’ve been pretty damn amazing. The main problem is that it feels all over the place, but you can easily take 12 songs from it and create a more cohesive album that’s better than any pop album released by any other pop artist in the last 10 years. 14. As for Madame X, most people just didn’t understand it, but frankly I think it’s literal genius.

Ghosttown should have ruled the airwaves and charts and award seasons. Granted, there are like 4 songs that should have never made it to the album and it probably would be one of her most perfect albums ever.

14. MDNA (Well, at least there's Masterpiece which wasn't even written for the album. Burn it) 13. Rebel Heart (I can't honestly say I've ever listened to this album from start to finish. Just no... Ghosttown and a few others keep it from the very bottom) 12. True Blue (Again, the hits are fire, but Jimmy Jimmy, White Heat and Love Makes the World Go Round? Yikes... and Where's the Party feels sophomoric and cringe) 11. Like a Virgin (Material Girl should never be played again, ever... plus Shoo Bee Doo? No, though if Into the Groove was an album track, this would be higher) 10. Like a Prayer (aside from the hits, which are among her career best, it's pretty forgettable... sue me) 09. American Life (this one's growing on me.. slowly) 08. Madonna 83 (aside from Borderline, which I never cared for, it's pretty much solid from start to finish.. it's only lower because it does feel a little dated) 07. Madame X (a return to form... not perfect, but flashes of brilliance and leaps and bounds better than her previous two) 06. Hard Candy (not sure why this gets so much hate... it's only the Timberlake tracks that suck) 05. Music (Impressive Instant! Gone! Paradise! So many tracks that could have easily been singles) 04. Ray of Light (It's a masterpiece, yes... but there are others that just eke it out of #1) 03. Confessions (deservedly considered one of her finest) 02. Bedtime Stories (criminally overlooked, not a single skip) 01. Erotica (fire, then, now and always.. but I am iffy on Where Life Begins) Some of these move around for me a bit, but Erotica will always be #1. 90s Madonna is where it's at.

I was just ranking the albums but ended up making mini reviews along the way lol. Thanks for the inspiration. 14. Madame X (can't stand her vocals on it and the whole thing sounds dry and overbearing. Also terrible featured artists) 13. Rebel Heart (I really don't like mid to late 2010s boring pop sounds and this album is full of them) 12. Hard Candy (agree with you, high highs and low lows) 11. MDNA (it's kind of a mess but it was the first M album I bought and I used to listen to it a lot, so nostalgia makes me a bit biased. Gang Bang is fucking deranged and I love it) 10. Like a Virgin (iconic singles but the album itself is just cheesy 80s pop music, nothing interesting about it. That said, Love Don't Live Here Anymore is breathtaking and I don't really count Into the Groove as part of it, which is obviously top 5 M) 09. American Life (Suffers from a horrendous title track which taints and misrepresents the real concept of the album, which is really just an introspection on M's part as a very rich mega popstar really, nothing political about it lol. The rest of the album is actually super interesting and showcases what M would have sounded like if she was more a singer-songwriter type of artist rather than, again, creamy smooth pop icon goddess) 08. True Blue (I don't know what to say about this one other than I like it and it's very iconic. Just not my favorite) 07. First Album (Extremely solid debut. In contrast to Like a Virgin, this one has a less polished club music sound which makes it very authentic and interesting) 06. Music (was my favorite for a while. Really weird album, very experimental at points. Perfect length and her soft understated vocal style at that time really stands out in her discography. Her mushroom album lol). 05. Bedtime Stories (Delightfully sensual and elegant. Super underrated. Secret is top3 M single for me) 04. Like a Prayer (Has some of the emotionally heavy and honest moments of her carreer and instrumentally is definitely her richest album) 03. Ray of Light (I mean, objectively it is her best. What a wonderful record and era of music in general) 02. Confessions (still sounds fresh, kind of ahead of its time really. The production is stellar, I like all the songs in it, even I love NY. And the tour. I mean, next level pop icon goddess queen behavior) 01. Erotica (Summarizes what makes Madonna a very special artist in pop music. Musically it's amazing obviously but I personally like to experience music as a multidimensional art form that has a context beyond just mere sounds which makes it all the more powerful and that's why I adore Erotica. What an era, what an album, what a moment in history)

Omg new fans need years of living with her work to really process. Ray Of Light and Rebel Heart are by no means her best work. (Ray Of Light Time has some of her best videos though) But time has shown very clearly that Rebel Heart and Ray Of Light will not have songs as impactful as Holiday, Material Girl, Like A Virgin, Dress You Up, Into The Groove, Papa Don’t Preach, Open Your Heart, Like A Prayer, Vogue, Music or Hung Up. Her first albums are her best followed by Confessions. Hung Up is the only song post 2000 to left a solid impact on pop music culture. I hope Give it to me, I’m Addicted, Bitch I’m Madonna and Medellin gain such impactful influence in time but i doubt it.

@ I listened. MDNA wasn’t impactful but it’s a favorite of mine even though it was a missed opportunity in many ways mainly because of Martin Solveig’s shortcomings and M wanting to bring back Orbit on a project that didn’t fit him.The track list isn’t cohesive and the main single wasn’t memorable. But GGW and I’m Addicted should’ve been blueprints for the rest. GGW just like Living For Love feature uninspired rushed vocals that needed redos which her schedule didn’t allow. Truly great programming though on I’m Addicted. Benassi Brothers are so good. They should have done the whole thing. So I wasn’t just talking impact. In all cases to each his own. The 90’s are starting to be dissected and reinvented like the 50’s 60’s 70’s and mostly like the 80’s which are clearly the current inspo for so many artists like Chappell Roan and many others. Wait for a big 90’s RnB sound come back. And who knows what time will make of the 00’s and 2010’s. I probably won’t be here to know. Always glad when new fans dissect M’s work. I’m 56 and was lucky to work with her long ago.

Mine would be 15. Madame X. Great concept, bad execution, the moments of music exploration are offusced by the commercialism, copy and paste of music genres. 14. MDNA. Fun but simple, there's some really strong tracks but also a lot of bad ones, creating a mixed experience. 13. Like a Virgin. Iconic songs, but the material isn't really that strong as a full album, it's carried by the singles. 12. Hard Candy. I love the direction that she goes on the sound here, some bops, but to many fillers, should have been 8 more focused songs as her debut. 11. I'm Breathless. Great performance and vocals on the very specific genre tracks, it does what is supposed to do with taste but bring nothing groundbreaking. 10. Rebel Heart. It's clearly unfinished, worst production of her career with some of her best lyricism. 9. American Life. It could be better, the outtakes are superior and more emotional and political, some of those songs are more of a point then a song, and the political message is lost in the tracklist. 8. True Blue. Strong 80s pop, Latin instrumentation, bubblegum synths and a lot of attitude, simple but great stuff. 7. Bedtime Stories. A much better mashup of genres then MX, hip hop, rnb, alt, trance and pop under a great low-key approach. Some tracks worked better then others, she was also still developing lyrically. 6. Madonna. Simple lyrics that work so well, goditer post disco production, surprisingly one of the best debut albums of all time, it gets overlooked by most people because of the lack of historical moments and complex lyrics, but it sounds amazing and detailed. 5. Like a Prayer. Strong concept, strong execution, unique and powerful. It just gets unserious at certain times taking you out of the baroque anti religious fantasy that the album puts you in. 4. Erotica. Her greatest drums production, most ambitious concept, incredible vocal performance, well suited lyrics, unique atmosphere, I would just say it's maybe a little too long sometimes? But only sometimes. 3. Music. Her underrated Bible, pioneering pop, electronic, experimental and even county production. Probably her most influential album in many fronts, top tier production, a lot of music after this followed its rulebook in secret. 2. Confessions. It suited her voice so well, god production exploring many genres of pop, dance and electronic music, super ahead of its time making everything like a DJ set, also her best album to listen on LSD. 1. Ray Of Light, god tier exploration of so many genres and ideas, her peak lyricism and subjectivity. Created a unique sound pallet and a unique moment in pop history, what if one of the main figures in commercial music showed a heart? A brain? A new groove. Explored many topics and sounds unseen and unrivalled on pop music.

I never gave the chance to Rebel Heart. Ghosttown is the only song that I love and play here on tube. But I'm gonna take your advice and buy it.

You won’t regret it! Ghosttown, Joan of Arc, Wash All Over Me are great slower songs, and there are other great up-beat moments too! (Living for love, Devil Pray, Bitch I’m Madonna)

Some Madonna albums are underrated, like Erotica and Bedtimes Stories, and then some are overrated, and I agree Like a Prayer (and True Blue) are some of them. Sure, the hits are among her most classic songs, but the deep cuts... yikes... nope. Her early albums progressively get better and with more promise, but she doesn't hit her peak until Erotica.

No pun but American Life uninspired?? I Love New York is M’s worst song? Nobody Knows Me??? Mother and Father??? What?? MDNA is in my top 5 M album. I’M ADDICTED is one of her most underrated songs. Killer production, top line and lyrics. Absolutely love it. Of course GGW is great although it was recorded in a rush. Gang Bang, Turn Up The Radio, Some Girls, Superstar, I Don’t Give A, what? MDNA is getting so much undeserved pan. Hard Candy is a great and underrated album too. Ray Of Light is her most overrated album. To each his own i guess but Madame X and Rebel Heart are her weakest albums. Crave sucks buckets nothing Madonna about it. Dull melody. Oddest enunciation. Nothing Madonna about it. Like A Virgin, Madonna, Bedtime Story, True Blue, Like A Prayer, Erotica, Confessions, HC, AL, MDNA, Music, RH, Madame X. By the way True Blue is not “THE 80’s Madonna album”. For sure not in terms of looks. Nothing is more iconic than Boy Toy Desperately Seeking Susan Madonna. Into The Groove come on. True Blue was her least memorable look with her platinum blonde hair she was trying to evolve and didn’t know how after the incredible impact of her boy toy look. Her looks in True Blue tte video and WTG were probably the worst in her career. The Herb Ritts photo on the album was a rip pff of Olivia Newton John’s iconic Physical which was calculated by her label since ONJ was the biggest star on earth up until then and M was basically replacing her. Great album by all means nonetheless.
