Yo, if you don't dig Madonna there is something wrong with you. Okay, actually, it's perfectly fine not to dig Madonna because, for reals, the sista is a little on tilt. However, you cannot possibly deny her impact on global pop culture. So, in honor of Madge, the list below highlights my top 7 Madonna tunes. These change for me all the time, since the lady's got sooooooo many good sawngs. I am critical of the earlier work, largely because she sounded like a chipmunk. Here goes:
1. Papa Don't Preach: this song is about a pregnant daughter's plea to her father, right? Sometimes it seems like she's just talking about keeping her boyfriend (shrug). Pure genius.
2. Gone: from the "Music" album, and always overlooked. So melancholy. So sad. So me.
3. Live to Tell: you know how good this song is, so don't even try to pretend otherwise.
4. Vogue: it's that sassy little name dropping rap that seals it for me.
5. Justify My Love: Madonna, I want to kiss you in Paris, too. Cross country. In a rain storm. In Rome. So now what? So now what?
6. Don't Tell Me: take the black off a crow! She says this and I'm not even mad.
7. Nothing Really Matters: melancholy over a happy beat. Gotta love it.
Peace & blissful listening to the Material Girl!
