It’s been a little while since I did another 8 list, so this time, I thought I’d go easy on myself and do the best: Madonna. But with over 150 tracks to choose from, maybe it isn’t realistically taking it easy, but it is fun. And rather than simply do my favourites (though that’s definitely reflected in this list), I’ve chosen 8 tracks that I want you to appreciate.
8. Like an Angel Passing Through My Room (listen)
A little known ABBA cover, I’m entranced with the simplicity.
7. Liquid Love (Alternate Orbit Version) (listen)
Yes, the original of this demo was great and all, but this alternate version sounds far less kitschy.
6. Hung Up vs Huey Lewis & the News (download)
I’m in love with mash-ups that work well together and Hung Up has plenty, but this one is just so fun.
5. You Must Love Me (Sticky & Sweet Tour Live) (watch)
One of the highlights of her latest tour, she just seemed so into it. The warm vibe live was overwhelming.
4. Burning Up (Birds 2006 Remix) (listen…and watch?)
Who doesn’t love this gem from the first album? Crazies. This is a nice lil update, but not too different to bastardize the brilliance.
3. Vogue (1990 MTV Video Music Awards) (watch)
Seriously, the best performance in history. Seriously.
2. Music Inferno (watch)
If #3 is the best performance ever, this is the best mash-up paired with performance ever. Best. Truly.
1. Justify My Love (watch)
This is and always has been the masterpiece. From the video to the marketing to the mixes, it’s all perfect. This is the Madonna I grew up loving.
Now, there are 101 other amazing tracks and ones that I actually like better overall than some of these, but why make the same list over and over. Appreciate!
