Cafe Society

I need a list of the top 50 (or so) Madonna songs of all time. If possible can I also get what album there from. Thanks.

2

My top whatever number they are- in no particular order:

Don’t tell me from Music
Music from Music
Nothing really matters from I dont know what album
Vogue- ??
Burning Up
True Blue
Cherish
Holiday
Express yourself

3

Don’t Tell Me

Tell me love isn’t true
It’s just something that we do
Tell me everything I’m not
But please don’t tell me to stop

All her other songs suck - but that one is brilliant.

4

Oh hell, you mentioned that one already.

How about “Crazy For You”?

Not that I would remember that one from the nightclubs. Heh.

5

For me it’s, my Top 5 is

Take A Bow

Borderline

Power of Goodbye

Bad Girl

Express Yourself

6

I also love

Nothing Really Matters

Her Ray of Light CD is the only one I own. My daughter has several others but that one I liked nearly everything on it.

8

(In no particular order)

Like a Prayer
Nothing Really Matters
Live To Tell
I Want You
Crazy For You
Papa Don’t Preach

oh, but there are so many…

Take a bow
La isla bonita

Yes, it is vastly inferior to the original, but I still don’t mind her version…

14

This Used To Be My Playground
Material Girl
Borderline (heh, I’m about to use that one to audition for a play)
Into the Groove
American Pie (I agree with Dragon Phoenix)
La Isla Bonita
Ray of Light
Nothing Really Matters
Vogue
Papa Don’t Preach
Express Yourself
American Life

I don’t own most of her albums, just going mainly by what songs I’ve heard that I like. There’s always been this stigma among people I know that if you like hard rock you automatically have to think Madonna sucks. That’s all juvenile nonsense, she’s got many really great songs. And I hope I look that young when I’m her age.

15

Has she even done 50 songs?

I need to get out more.

Come on, people: this is supposed to be the greatest Madonna songs of all time, but all the choices here fall within the last 20 years or so. What about, say, all those 16th century Madonna plainchants? :smiley:
