this REALLY TRULY has not been done. There is a POX, a post-Erotica OPO, but not proper career-spanning OPO

Into the Groove would probably be my number two that is good enough to be my number one. Or Open Your Heart. Into the Groove may have the best synth bass of all time.

"Justify My Love" exists for two reasons. (1) It introduced me to the Public Enemy beat (I was only 16). (2) You can make shit up over it.

"Borderline" started playing somewhere out in the wild recently and I had the thought, "Has she ever really topped this?" For many people yes, for me... "Borderline"

Holy Trinity for me: “Borderline”, “Into The Groove”, “Live To Tell”.also, I somehow feel the need to shout out “Open Your Heart”

Prob Into the Groove w Borderline a close 2nd I got the cassingle of Vogue for my birthday in '90. Think that was the last pop music I owned for a long while.

Man, "Live to Tell." Just such an incredible song and arrangement. I've heard it so many times, as a teen 'til today, and it's never lost its unique power. Leaves me breathless.

Maybe her best lyric after "Like a Prayer" because she leaves lacuna.

I like to think Patrick Leonard said "OK, we're done" and Madonna saying, "No, wait -- I have an idea. 'If I ran away...'" and Leonard losing his shit.
