Songs:
1. Live to Tell
2. Lucky Star
3. Into the Groove
4. This Used to Be My Playground
5. Vogue
6. La Isla Bonita
7. Crazy for You
8. Express Yourself (single version)
9. Open Your Heart
10. Sooner or Later

11. Cherish
12. Borderline
13. Like a Virgin
14. Papa Don’t Preach
15. Like a Prayer
16. Oh Father
17. Dress You Up

19. Holiday
20. Till Death Do Us Part
21. Music
22. True Blue
23. Back in Business
24. More
25. Ray of Light

One of our best examples of a singles artist, i.e. almost all of these were meant as, and turned out to be, major hits. Maybe only one song here is low-key. (Oh Father was not a big hit, though not from lack of trying. And the Dick Tracy songs were featured very well in a hit movie.)

Albums:

1. Like a Prayer (1989, my #76 album of all-time)
My 76 album of all-time is in fact "The Immaculate Collection" because for me Madonna is more a singles artist than an albums artist (you'll find few album tracks on my Top 50 songs list). But "Like a Prayer" is in my opinion her most solid album, varied enough to include gospel-pop (the title track), bubblegum-pop ("Cherish"), house ("Express Yourself"), orchestral ballads ("Oh Father") and even psychedelic lullabies ("Dear Jessie") but consistent mainly because of the strong personality of the singer.

2. Ray of Light (1998)
3. Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005)
4. Madonna (1983)
5. True Blue (1986)
6. Music (2000)
7. Like a Virgin (1984)
8. Bedtime Stories (1994)
9. Erotica (1992)
10. American Life (2003)




Songs:
(all credited to Madonna except where otherwise noted)

1. Into the Groove (1985, my #171 song of all time)
The first song by Madonna I really liked. Previously, while acknowledging her position as an icon (she was the idol of many of my girlfriends), I used to think of her hits as little more than novelties. Can't explain why properly, maybe is this propulsive synth-bass line, maybe is this happy-sad melody (love when the melody changes apparently to minor after the bridge without changing the chords), maybe is the awesome piano solo (only in the remix in "The Immaculate Collection"). But I got into the groove.
