Practically perfect in every way

1. Ray of Light

2.—5. (These change constantly for me, but they’re always the other four in my top-5.) American Life, Music, Bedtime Stories, Confessions

 

Just a lil less flawless

6. Like A Prayer

7. Madame X

8. Hard Candy

9. True Blue

 

Have their amazing moments, but...

10. Rebel Heart

11. Madonna

12. Erotica

I’d say it’s actually pretty mid tier for me, easily my favorite release by her since COADF

 

1. Ray of Light (always)

2. Bedtime Stories (underrated btw)

3. Erotica/Music

4. Music/Erotica

5. COADF

6. Like A Prayer (I feel bad ranking this so low since I think it’s one of her best conceptually/artistically but it’s not my favorite sonically ari9)

7. Madame X

8. True Blue

9. American Life (AL is definitely the album I’d most compare Madame X to, an album with probably 2/3 great songs and the rest aren’t very good - but the good songs are enough to rank it this high and it feels like a full body of work in which most tracks compliment each other)

10. Madonna

11. Like A Virgin

12. Hard Candy

13. Rebel Heart (it has quite a few good songs that I genuinely enjoy, but it’s overall too bloated to be a good album and the concept just ain’t there)

14. MDNA (...literally irredeemable besides Masterpiece)

Bedtime Stories stans unite... we’ve been oppressed for far too long  

As long as I, the Bedtime Stories crazy lady, stay here, the album won't be forgotten on FOTP!

 

About Madame X, I still haven't listened to it too much, but after getting through the autotune and bad vocals, the album is interesting...

I don't have a specific, detailed ranking. I've discovered. 

I like to think of it this way: 

 

Excellent albums that can be appreciated outside the context of their respective genres.

Ray of Light

Like A Prayer

Erotica

 

Great albums but flawed.

Confessions on A Dance floor

Music 

American Life

Madame X

Bedtime Stories

Madonna

 

Mediocre/Good albums but substantially flawed.

Hard Candy 

MDNA 

Like A Virgin 

True Blue 

 

Less than mediocre - borderline bad albums.

Rebel Heart

There was already a thread with the exact same topic, so I'll just copy and paste my rank. Anw, Madame X is easily the most experimental and political album ever and that alone is enough to secure a top5 spot. The reason why Madame X is not my fave album of all time is due to the fact that it got few mediocre songs: Future, Crazy and I Rise. The rest of the album is pure fire tho. And yes, Madame X wipes the floor with COADF and it obliterates Like A Prayer Nap.

  1. Ray of Light 
  2. Like a Virgin
  3. True Blue
  4. Madame X
  5. American Life
  6. Hard Candy
  7. Confessions on a Dance Floor
  8. Erotica
  9. Madonna
  10. Bedtime Stories
  11. Rebel Heart
  12. Like a Prayer
  13. Music
  14. MDNA

Im not gonna post full 15 albums serious rank as honestly it changes a lot depending on my mood, part of the year or weather, i love BS but its not album for every day listening for me, or True Blue sometimes i cant stop listen to it and others i skip almost every song shrug1

Also i dont think Madonna ever released bad album really she might have been lazy here and there or i might not like something but she still always does something different and maintain certain quality to her work. 

 

But my top5 is kinda solid one way or another so i guess it would be (not in any order) :

COADF / AL / RH / Erotica / Madame X 

and bonus spot for debut album lol1
