My pick for the opener: Opening notes, M appears: "You can dance, (city name]. For inspiration!" The crowd goes into 80s-induced mayhem...

I get why previous posters want a series. But I'm really looking forward to hearing M's music booming through the speakers in a theater. I remember watching Hustlers and being struck by how good Janet's music sounded. The opening notes to Like a Prayer would set up the climactic scene so well...

I see it as being M being Cyndi Lauper... Didn't work, but it brought us Causing a Commotion, so all is good.

I think the story is they had a falling out after the Pre-Madonna collection came out (in this interview, he ascribes it to people he was working with). If M forgives him and reaches out, it sounds like he would love to dig up those songs for her. Please oh please let it happen!

She's. Back.

Agreed. It was Britney's wedding. Not exactly a time for an edgy fashion statement with cone bras or what have you.

Almost nobody else seems to like it but I loooove You're Still My Man. It just gets to me, hook line and sinker. And Where You Are, too. They're both unsung gems and I far prefer them to the overly bombastic Where Do Broken Hearts Go. And yes, Love Is a Contact Sport would have been a great...

Promise to Try. Heartbreaking.

I prefer True Blue over Cherish when it comes to sugary sweet Madonna songs. That being said, it was the obvious third single after Prayer and Express. Its commercial sheen and pure catchiness were undeniable.

Amazing collection... but if only The Way It Used To Be had been a single and included here, too. My 2nd all-time Pet Shop favorite after Being Boring.

Totally off-topic and all (my apologies), but what's your secret? Asking for a friend!...

Gotta pick just one: Rhythm Nation or janet? Tough, eh? Even I'd have to think about it for (let's wait) a while...

Favorite Songs from 2021: 20. Stranded - William Fitzsimmons 19. Polite - Erika de Casier 18. If I Fall - Nick Jonas 17. Stay (Tempus) - GSoul 16. Kiss Me More - Doja Cat 15. Peaches - Justin Bieber 14. Waves of Blue - Majid Jordan 13. Who's Hurtin' Who? - Jack Savoretti 12. Renegade - Big Red...

Like a Virgin is probably her least respected studio album during her first imperial phase (Debut~Immaculate). But I wonder what would've happened if Crazy for You, Into the Groove, and Gambler had been added at the end. For me, that would vault Virgin over the debut and even True Blue. Thoughts?

But Dress You Up is an 11!
