“You can call me M tonight.”
MDNA (2012)
Standout Tracks: "Girl Gone Wild," I'm Addicted," "Love Spent"
Burn This Song: "B-Day Song" is the most egregious.
"Girl Gone Wild" has a really strong video. And this was a very good tour. That's about as nice as anyone can get with this album.
Warner Bros.
Who's That Girl (1987)
Standout Track: "Causing a Commotion"
Burn This Song: Every non-Madonna song?
This is a soundtrack album released as a Madonna album because, you know, money. Time also hasn't really been good to "Who's That Girl," which still needs punctuation 30 years later. "Causing a Commotion" is a banger tho.
Warner Bros.
Hard Candy (2008)
Standout Tracks: "Heartbeat," "Miles Away," "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You"
Burn This Song: "Spanish Lesson"
This album has aged surprisingly well. In 2008 it seemed like a desperate ploy to jump on the Timabaland bandwagon after everyone else had already moved on (you were never gonna get a "Promiscuous," M Dolla — also, let's talk about the name M DOLLA), but in 2015 most of that period bleeds together well enough that you can just enjoy the few dance tracks she made for da club. "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" is also just a truly, gorgeous song.
