Spicechinodiva Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If 1998's Ray of Light is considered her magnum opus. Then 1989's Like a Prayer can be seen as the beginning of Madonna: The Album artist. For pop music to sell, you kinda needed to be the category of a singles artist. Prior to 1989's Like a prayer, Madonna tip tied that line like a thin wire. But on this album and basically all her albums after this one, Madonna rejected the singles artist territory.. Critics praised this album. Buzzfeed labeled it as the best album from a female artist, from the 80s. Rolling Stone in their critically acclaimed review labeled it as "The closest thing pop music gets to be seen as Art, like a picasso painting." Working with a small group Madonna along with Patrick Leonard, Stephen Bray, And Prince (yes, the artist himself did a duet with her). Created an album that touched on Religion, Family, AIDS (Pray for Spanish Eyes) death, her divorce and her mother created her most personal album to date, and with some of her best lyrics to date.. Especially on Promise to Try and oh Father. Promise to try pays tribute to her mother in such a loving way, where in Oh Father, she basically criticizes her father for being very abusive and that somebody hurt him to. Keep it together talks about the relationship of Her fame and her siblings She wants attention, she wants it on her own, but when she gets lonely and needs to be loved for who she is, not who they want her to be, she has her siblings to keep it together..

Blackout2006 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 What can I say? LAP is an amazingly well-produced and done album and is part of Madonnas trinity, such a stanning record because it left me with chills with its last song Also does Britney come in that list too Link to comment
Super Mods princessmimi Posted December 10, 2020 Super Mods Share Posted December 10, 2020 Omg why is it #8, it should be in the top 3! Although I love her first 3 albums, I think that this one was genuine and really showed the REAL Madonna To this day, I have yet to hear an album as raw and personal as this. This is where the Artist came out. Link to comment

So no. Spin is an Spin alternative music culture magazine. But they couldn't ignore Madonna or Michael Jackson or even your Beloved Billie Eilish. But I know britney wouldn't make the cut, as she's too in the middle and you know I'm right. She has ideas, but her team rejects it and at the same time make them very vanilla which is pretty much slang for safe and tame.. . Link to comment

Yes, there's silly songs, but every album since this album had way more complex themes. Madonna knew sometimes you have to lighten the mood with a stupid nonsense song. Link to comment
