Into the Groove is one of Madonna's best songs ever.

I voted for Into The Groove, but it's not really fair lmao. It wasn't originally part of the album. 

 

I guess I would pick Dress You Up from the OG singles.

I got the LAV album when it was reissued with ITG, so therefore it will always be part of that album to me. The original version doesn't feel complete without it.

 

Voted for ITG, but they're all amazing.

[NI-CK]

same, I picked Dress You Up because Into The Groove was just added to later editions of the album due to its success.

 

Like A Virgin and Material Girl are iconic and the GP loves them but they are among my least favorite singles of hers. In general, LAV is her only weak album from the 80s. 

[Migs]

I voted for Angel because I think it's such an underrated gem that deserved a great music video to go with it, but all singles are 10/10.

[The7thStranger]

The best single from the Virgin era was Into the Groove, followed by Crazy for You.

[MP3]

Voted Into the Groove but Material Girl is not so far behind

[Kiss It Better]

her best 80s album 

 

as for the singles i like Angel > ITG > LAV > Material Girl > Dress You Up but they're all great

[Princess Aurora]

Material Girl

Omg 40th? Madonna is old

Wonder if there are any 40+ year olds on here who were alive back then and how this era impacted pop culture 

[reymiu]

Into The Groove (You Can Dance mix) > Dress You Up > Like a Virgin > Angel > Material Girl

 

MG video is the best & most iconic though

Where's that Mariah stan from Germany or something 

[GrandeVersace]

All songs are equally 10/10 except for Material Hag.

I hate that abomination with a passion. 

[Sawk]

Dress you Up is literally top 5 Madge songs

Into The Groove absolutely eats but yeah, I didn't vote for it because it really is its own standalone single.

Out of the album, the title track wins. But the rest of the singles are pure gold. Angel is a close second 

[poki]

 

We were robbed of this bop on radio!

[dabunique]

hmmm ITG isn't part of da album so why include it, regardless if it was tacked on in international releases

 

i voted for my favorite song off da album - Angel 

[Kimi]

Material Girl, her quintessential song. 

[TipToe]

I honestly only care about ITG and DYU, this alberm is one of my least fave from her.
