Madame X Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Madonna. The Queen of Pop. Madge. Her Madgesty. The Queen of Re-Invention. M-Dolla. The Material Girl Herself. Her impact still ripples through the pop world in the year of our lord 2020, and it feels like miss Sontag was right when she said that the history of women in pop culture can be divided B.M. (Before Madonna) and A.M. (After Madonna). There are countless accolades to her career that I'm sure most of you already know, so I will spare you the time. She, simply put, is the most important female artist in the history of pop music and pop stardom. She also has quite a discography, and we are going to get into it. Welcome to the Madonna rate! We are rating her entire discography. Yup, all of it. We are rating all of the material on her studio albums, compilations, soundtracks, early pre-fame material, guest vocals, and, well, we're not rating every Madonna remix. I spared you guys from that fate, but we are going to rate the ones that are relevant and/or different enough from the original. We will then, after rating her discography, going to bitch at each other for having different opinions in her vast discography and having meltdowns that our favorite album cut didn't make it into the top 100. Rate every single song from a scale of 1-10. Decimals are allowed. You may give THREE songs a score of 11 and THREE songs a 10.5. You may also give THREE songs a 0.5 and THREE songs a score of 0. Use them wisely. PM your scores to me. You may comment on the songs. If you do I will incorporate your comment in the ranking. Feel free to comment on as many or as few songs as you wish. As far as quality standards go, you just have to convince me that you actually listened to the songs. If I see all 5s or all 1s for an album, I'm not going to be convinced you actually bothered to listen to it so I will ask you to resend. I am willing to play by ear, but as of now, FEBRUARY 1ST FEBRUARY 14 is the due date. Discuss with me if you need more time. An extension is probably invitable. As far as I'm concerned, you can use fun nicknames in rates, but keep it CUTE and don't get into personal arguments or stan wars, this is for fun and to celebrate and argue about Madonna's discography. And here is a copy&paste friendly list of the songs you will be rating.

Indie Go Mind Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 YAY! Finally a reason to delve into Madonna's discography! I'm sure such an illustrious and prominent discography warrant being listened to by most Pop music listeners. Can't wait to discover gems and amazing songs while doing this rate!

Madame X Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 2 minutes ago, Post Malone said: Can the misc section be optional? It's way too much no, sorry. a good chunk of the misc section is essential, like actual hit singles. probably more than half of it. the other half, the b sides, are good. and the early madonna, most of the songs are under 3 minutes. so its not as bad as you would think.

Brando Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 My oh my... that's a lot of songs.. even for someone who's got her entire discography I'm not familiar with most of those misc & early songs And this also means that I have to listen to that dreadful Rebel Heart album which has like 325 awful songs AGAIN OMG and EVITA too!!!
