But anyone who looks at a song like "Mer Girl" and doesn't see Madonna at her most self-indulgent is fooling themselves.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09484170969405007352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866303.post-34201383270437066132011-01-17T14:35:20.070-06:002011-01-17T14:35:20.070-06:00I agree that Vogue needs to be the highest chartin...I agree that Vogue needs to be the highest charting track on here, but it is very 80s to me too. I love Deeper, but yeah, the backlash was in full strom by then. BTW, <i>Erotica</i> has aged very well. I may need to spin Secret Garden again...<br /><br />As for Ray of Light, it's not my fave track. I prefer Frozen or Substitute for Love.Yuяihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02199872709750899230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866303.post-81882404243566714972011-01-16T20:39:24.197-06:002011-01-16T20:39:24.197-06:00Oh, I think the others are certainly worthy - the ...Oh, I think the others are certainly worthy - the only reason "Deeper & Deeper" wasn't a number one smash was because the backlash was already in full swing. And as I mentioned, "Frozen" certainly deserved a spot.<br /><br />That was the trouble I had with the whole late 90s portion of Madonna's career - she seemed so pretentious and not having very much fun. How I wish we had even a tenth of that in her music now (when she bothers to make any.)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09484170969405007352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866303.post-53596744295107609692011-01-16T20:07:32.432-06:002011-01-16T20:07:32.432-06:00I do remember that people were slathering all over...I do remember that people were slathering all over themselves with praise about what a huge mature step forward it was not just for Madonna but all of music kind. It was all very pretentious.<br />I gave it a few listens and couldn't get in to it. It seemed like she was trying to make a pop song out of yoga chants. I'm not surprised it's that high on the list because of how people acted about it at the time, but I never liked it. In fact I think Vogue is the only one that deserves to be on the list at all.Dwaynehttp://twitter.com/PopDefendernoreply@blogger.com
