No disrespect at all to Madonna’s legacy. However, in my opinion these albums surpassed or are on par in terms of quality, songwriting, production.

If we’re counting pre 2010s, most definitely this as well

 

If that’s the case, let’s not forget:

You could argue Vulnicura as well.

and pretty much every single Fiona album after this. 


 

Stories_From_The_City,_Stories_From_The_ 

An alt rock classic.

Arguably the most influential R&B/Pop album of all time

A stunning heartfelt warm chamber folk record with spectacular songwriting.

With this album Madonna became the fourth name to say when you are praying. “In The Name of God: Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Madonna.”

Frozen alone >>>>>>> careers combined
And talking about Frozen, the Immaculate Trio compound by Frozen,The Power of Good-Bye and To Have and Not to Hold is something that transpass the human existence.

How can it be surpassed if it's, let's say, perfect? 

 

Just kidding, perfection is a wild concept. 

 

But, seriously, I'm sure that there are many albums that some people might think have surpassed ROL, in their opinion. 

 

Some people have listed Melodrama or Norman ******* Norwell and they're certainly great ones. But what is confounding to me is that ROL was both critically acclaimed and also a massive, massive hit. 

 

Anyways, let's enjoy the music. Shout-out to Drowned World/Substitute for Love, which is such an incredible opener.

I fear noone has ascended Mount Sinai and written down the word of God for us the masses to know it since the prophet Madonna did in 1998

Honestly? Yes

Not ATRL’s fault that your music knowledge didn’t include the brilliance that is RoL. :gaycat5:

 

Also, highly dubious of a pop stan not hearing of RoL since multiple music releases since the album came out cite it as a reference, and is considered one of the most influential pop albums ever.

None.. even Madonna couldn't

she kinda came close to that with Falling Free. Being a MDNA track doesn't help the song but as a standalone, it really reminds you to that 1998 Madonna.
