Best Madonna song

[SuperBacon]

Right we've covered the King of Pop, but what about the Queen of Pop?

There is genuinely about 20 songs which could all be in with a shout, but for me it's Like A Prayer. It's such a massive pop song, it just sounds huge and bombastic or whatever. 

Her late 90s resurgence stuff is in with a shout as well, as well as her very early stuff, and as an outside choice I'd also have Cherish which is just a really pretty song.

Over to you all, and there is such a huge selection to choose from.

Oh god, some wronguns gonna say Die Another Day aren't they?

[Panhead]

Borderline, for me.

If the thread was worst Bond song, then yes. If it was best Bond song, the correct answer is Another Way to Die by Alicia Keys and Jack White.

[FLips]

Groovy baby, yeah.

William Orbit gave her what might be his best instrumental and that sure helps but it's a perfect mix of both artists.

Very hard to choose just one tbh. Her Immaculate Collection greatest hits is just banger after banger.

Absolutely. Even if she stopped there it would've been a fantastic cannon of songs. The fact she went and added a shitload more AFTER shows how brilliant she is.

La Isla Bonita for me. Her voice on Papa Don’t Preach is fantastic though. 

Also partial to Frozen. Underrated song imo. 

Beautiful Stranger should’ve been her Bond song. 

[Dr. Alan Grant]

I’m partial to sad songs that make me want to curl into a ball. This ticks all the boxes.

It's In To The Groove. Not only the best Madonna song, arguably my favourite pop song ever and hands down the best song about locking your door and rubbing one out.

Just scrolling down this and seeing the videos you can see how much of a chameleon she was, setting and following trends.

As said, Immaculate Collection is full of her best. Ray of Light is probably her best fully matured album, with The Power of Good-Bye being especially good.

 

I've got to go with the song that would've made me fall in love with her, Material Girl.

It’s like a prayer. But outside of that,

Oh Father, Human Nature, Take a Bow are all amazing.

 

But there’s something about this song that makes me feel like I’m walking through a daydream that makes me smile every time.

Like a Prayer is almost perfect as an album, very little filler, pretty much all killer.

It's Borderline, for me. Love a bit of post-disco.

[John Matrix]

Absolutely no contest as far as I’m concerned though it shows the range when there’s so many posts and so little duplication.  But for me it’s got to be this little number…
