West Ham- what are the parameters? Ok I give it an 8.
I've had a look at the list today, and there are some absolute belters in it.
We've been really unlucky so far, patience is needed. Keep up the thread hammerman, you're doing a great job.
This erotica offering, i'm gonna say it was ok.
I could ramble for ages about madonna, but it's not really needed here. (Cue half an hour of rambling)
I did give it a fair few playings, and I was never offended, but ironically, I was never pleasured either.
The lyrics to "bad girl" made me smile. Drunk by six. Kissing a strangers lips. Fair play madge. I'd have a pint with you girl.
Let's not forget she wrote this stuff, she wasn't pointing fingers at writers, and never shied away from trying to create, innovate, shock even.
That book came out and it was news at the time. Only page 3 girls got the tits out. Madge couldn't stop herself, but she did it in a classy way, and managed to make a few more millions along the way.
Seems a bit dated now, but she gets my respect for the innovative way she reached out.
She's had an unmatched career, and her ability to change has always impressed me, she's a female bowie in many ways, ups, downs, great songs, some not so, but the legacy will be there I think when she's gone.
The album itself then.
It's superbly produced, the music is beautiful in parts. You can tell by this stage in her career she only worked with the best.
I must admit I did a little bit of research into this album as it's one that i've not heard fully before. The rap track wasn't even meant to be there, he freestyed it for a laugh and madonna loved it so it made the record. It's actually about the guys in the studio thinking that dre was giving her one on the sly..imagine that...
I meant to start with do I want to listen to madonna singing about her clopper and how much she wants someone to pay it some attention.
Turns out I do, but only in small doses.
Cant be arsed to do a track by track, but it's a 3/10.
Why?
But then we don't get to discover that hidden gem........To introduce some quality control and pick albums that are widely considered to be great. There's loads of greatest album lists out there, why stick to one.
Ok mate, no worries, i'm happy to be pulled up, and i'll try to justify as best I can.Very good write up @crublue1
I have to pull you up for the ‘the music is beautiful in parts ‘ …. Where ? I can only point to ‘Rain’ as having any kind of nice music for a track on here.
