Favorite(s): Erotica / Bedtime Stories

I think I’ll forever be partial to these two albums because I was in my early 20’s and it was my “coming out” period. I look back at that time as someone who was finding himself. I remember traveling into DC a lot on the weekends, going to the clubs and songs from these two albums were consistently played. I was so in love with Erotica, I played it all the time, so when Bedtime Stories was released, I couldn’t believe it because it felt like Erotica had just been released, when it fact they were almost 2 years apart. Bedtimes Stories also contains some of Madonna’s most heartfelt and genuine songs to date, “Inside of Me” and “Love Tried To Welcome Me.” It was the only time I can remember Madonna almost made me cry, which no one has ever really done before except Stevie.

Then Madonna had to go and get all “enlightened” on us and start preaching which brought us my 2 ….

Least Favorites(s): Ray of Light / Confessions on a Dance floor

I simply can’t get into these CDs. When I think of Madonna’s great dance music I think “Lucky Star”, “Express Yourself” and “Deeper and Deeper.” These songs are sassy, funky and vibrant not “Ray of Light” (this songs gives me a headache) and certainly not “Hung Up” (too repetitive sounding).

I really have not enjoyed a full Madonna album since “Bedtime Stories.” Hard Candy has some shining moments though, especially “Miles Away.”

Ok louie, Travis etc.. I finally went back and relistened to Bedtime Stories after only really knowing the singles. I've always loved the singles. especially Human Nature, Take A Bow and Secret and I have to say I must have just been in the right mood or something because I get it...

It's really pretty great and I think once I actually pick up a copy and play it to death I'll realllllly like it. I'm especially liking Survival right now. Inide Of Me is only ok at the moment but, like the rest of the album, I thinkwill be a grower! Thsi is like a new album with some songs I already know and love. What can be better?!

It's a total mood album though.

I still haven't picked up 'Like A Prayer', 'Ray of Light', or 'Bedtime Stories'.

It all depends on my mood. Right now I'm listening to 'True Blue' because it makes me think of summer and warm weather.

<3 Bedtime Stories.

Not a huge Madonna fan, but I do love that album. It's kind of rare to find an album that you can listen to, beginning to end, that this falls into that category.

I like the title track best and super loved the video.

And who doesn't love Secret? I think I was just the right age when it came out.

True Blue is my favorite and Erotica my least favorite.
