Now that Rebel Heart has been out for a month, I thought it would be fun to state which of her 13 albums is the best in your opinion. Your favourite! Mine is Erotica. And, here is my countdown in order of least favourite to favourite.
13: Like a Virgin 12: Bedtime Stories 11: Madonna 10: Hard Candy 9: Rebel Heart 8: MDNA 7: True Blue 6: Music 5: Ray of Light 4: American Life 3: Confessions on a Dance Floor 2: Like a Prayer 1: Erotica How would your list look? |

I only own five of her albums so out of the ones I own I would regard Confessions on a Dancefloor and Ray of Light as my favourites.

Madonna** **I've never heard 'Madonna' so can't really judge this album. I still have a soft spot for True Blue. The singles from the album alone are the reason why I've ranked it so high up. Confessions and Ray Of Light are outstanding imo. |

As echoed above, Confessions and Ray of Light are her best, I also have a soft spot for Bedtime Stories.

1. Erotica
2. Rebel Heart 3. True Blue 4. Bedtime Stories 5. Like a Prayer 6. Ray of Light 7. Music 8. I'm Breathless 9. American Life 10. Confessions on a Dancefloor 11.Madonna 12. Hard Candy 13. Like a Virgin 14. MDNA I've included I'm Breathless because some include and some don't as part of her Studio Albums and for me it's an album I play regularly. I have had to look at each album as a whole and not just the singles released. I've readjusted the list several times but decided to go with my original placings. Personal life events influence heavily as well on my choices as certain albums have really personal memories at certain times in my life. Unfortunately nothing could save MDNA for me. All the other albums it was hard to place especially 1-11 which are all very close. Confessions particularly started off at 11 but was moved to 2 before sliding back down but it's still a fantastic album which I love. Hard Candy surpasses Like a Virgin as I really can't listen to LAV without skipping a number of tracks. |

Poll Update: 7th April
The first poll update is an interesting one.
Loving the love for "Erotica!" But, here is the current trio of leaders: In third place is Ray of Light/Like a Prayer, In second place is Erotica but in first place is Confessions on a Dance Floor. Of course, this is just day one, and we've a long way to go! It could all change. But today, Confessions is currently on top (as at 8pm 7/4/15). |

Erotica
I don't mean to sound negative, but you should do a least fav madonna album poll. I'll be curious to see the results on that. |

American Life, closely followed by Erotica and Like a Prayer. All three are practically perfect IMO. Rebel Heart isn't too far behind either.
Worst are Bedtime Stories and Hard Candy. I also think I'm Breathless is a work of art! He's a Man and More are two absolute gems. I have always regarded it as a proper studio album to be honest. Probably the most fun we've ever heard her be, and it's a breath of fresh air. |

Nice to see Erotica doing so well.
Madonna's released some great pop albums over the years. True Blue, Like a Prayer, Ray of Light, American Life, Confessions and Erotica are my favourites of hers. |

1. Like A Prayer - the classic
2. Ray Of Light - the rebirth 3.Confesions On A Dancefloor - pop/dance heaven and the tour was fantastic 4. True Blue - the first album I truly loved the best singles collection of any album 5. Madonna - the start, it still sounds great today 6. MDNA - I like it, ok the singles are poor but some of the other tracks (Love Spent) are terrific songs 7. Music - great start, slows down and loses steam and American Pie is a NO from me 8. American Life - weak singles but great album tracks 9. I'm Breathless - get past I'm Going Bananas and Cry Baby it's pretty good 10. Like A Virgin - terrific 1st side, poor 2nd side 11. Hard Candy - disappointing but a blame Warners rather than Madonna 12. Rebel Heart - too long and too much crap, the good songs are good the bad songs are truly awful 13. Erotica - I like most of the Pettibone songs but hate the Betts songs 14. Bedtime Stories - totally gutted/crushed the day that came out, hated it on first listen and still hate it today, I would only listen to Secret and Take A Bow |

I deplore the way I'm Breathless is disregarded. It is clearly NOT a soundtrack album - and the three songs on it that 'feature' in Dick Tracy only do so in snippets. What the hell else do people think it is? It's a Madonna album, through and through. Or else do Lady Gaga fans say that that jazz album she released a couple of years back isn't a 'proper' LG album either, just because it was a complete departure and happened to be so heavily 'inspired'? GrRRrr.

American Life - in my opinion her finest hour musically. Close second would be Like A Prayer.
PS I agree with what's been said about I'm Breathless! |

Like a prayer and confessions are standouts. I also have a real soft spot for I'm breathless. Erotica and ray of light are good. They're probably not great albums but I like her first 2 albums for the great memories.
The rest of her albums are pretty bad though I've not even bothered giving the latest a listen. |

I'm delighted with the amount of love that 'Bedtime Stories' is getting.
Definitely her best album IMO. Okay, so it doesn't have any 'huge' singles on it (although Secret did quite well here and Take a Bow was huge in the States), but if you were to ask people to name 10 Madonna singles, I doubt many people would mention either of those, but as a body of work, I think it's outstanding. I love every track on the album (with the exception of the title track, ironically, but I like it a lot more now than I ever did before). I also agree with the other comments about 'I'm Breathless'. I class it as a studio album, not a soundtrack album. Dick Tracy already had 2 soundtrack albums so I don't understand why people think this is another. He's a Man is an absolutely brilliant song. My least favourite? Probably Hard Candy or MDNA, depending on my mood, but neither are very good IMO. |
