The Best of Madonna:Her 10 Greatest Songs
10. Justify My Love
This song is from the album The Immaculate Collection. It went to number one. What I like about the song is that it really pushes the envelope. What of the things I love about Madonna is that she always makes people open their eyes to things. This song is a typical Madonna song. She challenges sexual oppression with this song. I also love that it is incredibly erotic without being sleazy.
9. Rescue Me
This song is from The Immaculate Collection. The song went to number nine. I like this song because it is a happy, uptempo song. It is also one of Madonna's better vocal performances. She shows some vocal range on this song. This is the type of song to listen to when you're doing chores.
8. Deeper and Deeper
Deeper and Deeper is from the Erotic album. It went to number seven. I like it because it still sounds current today. It is also a decent dance track. Madonna has always been very good at dance music. This is one of the better dance songs she's done.
7. I'll Remember
This song was featured on the soundtrack for the movie With Honors. It went to number two. It is one of the best slow songs that Madonna has done. It has a nice message and she delivers it very well. I'm partial to to her fast songs, but this song is good.
6. Ray of Light
Ray of Light is a song off of the album Ray of Light. It went to number one. It won Madonna multiple awards, and is widely considered to be one of the best dance songs of its era. It sounds good and has Eastern influences.
5.Like a Virgin
Like a Virgin is a song off of the Like a Virgin album. It went to number one. The song is very sexual. Madonna teases the listener with this song. She is the master of keeping a listener interested. You never get tired of Madonna. She is always evolving.
4. Like a Prayer
Like a Prayer is a song off of the Like a Prayer album. The song went to number one. I like it because of the gospel undertones in the song. To me it's like going to church. The song also is about injustice and persecution. Madonna usually has messages in her songs.
3. 4 Minutes
4 Minutes is from the Hard Candy album. The song went to number three. It features Justin Timberlake as a guest vocalist. This is the best song she has put out in recent years. It is very uptempo, and her and Justin Timberlake sound great together.
2. Express Yourself
Express Yourself is off of the Like a Prayer album. The song went to number two. I love Madonna during this era. This is when she really started to establish herself as a leading female artist. This song is so uptempo and bubbly. This is the reason why she is the top selling female artist. She isn't the best singer, but her songs always make you feel something.
1. Material Girl
Material Girl is off of the Like a Virgin album. The song went to number two. It should have went to number one. It is one of the best songs of the eights. The vocals are great on this song, the energy is incredible, and the video is one for the ages. This song is Madonna at her finest.

Post a Commentprobably one of the toughest things to do would be to pick out 10 best songs from madonna - cause there are at least 50, hehhe.
nevertheless, nice top ten though Bo - and here's mine.
It's not really in order of preference it is more chronological with a song from each album [almost]
10 - everybody (from Madonna - it's so pop synth 80's but it's also totally punkish. I guess madonna was crossing the bridge over from her Emmy years and it's so obvious! it's a great song that's all - Music was like the part 2 of everybody, heheh)
09 - angel (from like a virgin - just cause it's so different from anything else she did at the time and the song's got such a deep vibe to it i love it)
08 - Open your heart (From True Blue - all over the album true blue Madonna is really giving herself vocally and lyrically, but this song really stands out because you can actually feel the yearning and fire)
07 - love song (from Like a Prayer - I just love the way these two sexy artists render the theme of
