Yeah Josh...after the Madonna of sitcoms The Big Bang Theory but during the Kylie of sitcoms Two Broke Girls and coolio! I would really love to see them commenting on the two songs especially Like a Prayer

Maybe something still electronic, but more down tempo like trip hop? Not just get up and dance type of electronica.
I don't know if she would ever do it, but I would love something like Garbage does on their latest album where they mix guitars and electronics. I don't think she could ever completely remove electronics from her music but maybe less of a club/dj based sound which is just about fun and dancing. Ray Of Light - Music - American Life = Her rebirth, self analysis, issues with pop culture, rebelling against the system trilogy. Confessions On A Dance Floor - Hard Candy - MDNA = Her self analysing, retrospective, dance odyssey, retreading ground style albums. I reckon with that in mind could we initialise a new set of a trilogy? Maybe downtempo/trip hop elements could be incorporated....but with subliminal messages...i mean Madonna IS Dance and IS Pop but very much IS music too....so with all these elements i reckon she could definitely create another masterpeice on her rack next....again we will see where her journey is headed. But an album with Nu-Acid House style Dub/Trip Hop Progressive Dance could be something to behold

Well we have had themes as a "trilogy" of sorts within the past 15 years.

I sort of know what you mean. I know some people love them but I don't really listen to True Blue or Like a Virgin that much for that reason. Those records had a bubblegum pop sound not as dance/club oriented as the first record. But I think the stuff on LAP holds up great.
Like A Virgin for me doesnt reflect "bubblegum" as an essence....LAV i feel is a progression on from The First Album but very much is centred in a small concept and therefore the Synthpop is slicker the Rock Dance themes are incorporated well and her experimentation with Funk/Motown influences are moments of genius! For me that is why i feel LAV isnt typically "80s" by definition while it does hold some of the biggest hits of that decade of course

That's interesting. I never thought about it before, but you can group her recent albums in a trilogy like that.

One song I think deserves credit is M's version of 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina'. It's beautiful. I love it!

It's interesting though because a lot of casual fans of Madonna seem to love True Blue and LAV. They basically think everything she did after that is terrible! Someone once told me that they would only go to her tour if she just sang those two albums. For me, if she did that, I'd want my money back!
There are some people who only love the style of music that was popular when they were teenagers. They just completely resist when an artist tries any new type of production or sound at all even if it's in the same genre. I respect older music but I am also open to new current contemporary trends and sounds. I don't like it when an artist completely changes to another genre, but I like it when they update it with contemporary production. |

I always love an artist who progresses...i mean i think if they remained in the same box for too long then they end up like those vintage acts that tour and do okay ya know...i mean we all know the ones i am referring to like em as i do! But Madonna as an artist epitomises...well...transgression and moving forward while reflecting at the past in elements. And as Madonna is the artist she is...she incorporates all these elements that does please everybody

Now MDNA has been out for a month and a bit I thought it would be nice to see where you rank it amongst the albums. For me it's:
1. Confessions on a Dance Floor /1. Ray of Light 3. American Life 4. True Blue 5. Like a prayer 6. MDNA 7. The First Album 8. Hard Candy 9. Erotica 10. Bedtime Stories 11. Music 12. Like a Virgin |

Like A Virgin I'm afraid, considering how many CD's I own from different artists, is the most dated and rather "retarded" album I own. It was so relevant to me at the time and is no way a bad album. There is no such thing as a bad Madonna album, but it rarely gets a go in my CD player now. The other Madonna album that feels so irrelevant to me and dated is Bedtime Stories. I use the word "retarded" by the way, because that is the word Madonna herself uses to describe some of her back catalogue songs.
