Madonna: Erotica POLL

I don't get people who love this album but don't like "Bad Girl."

It's one of her finest tracks, IMO... sonically it sounds OTM, too. Great production.

She was really trying to push people's buttons around this time... what other established pop star of the time would have dared to adorn the back sleeve of their latest record with a picture of themselves giving someone a "toe job"? What established pop star would dare do that now, even!?

SHEP: I guess I’m always trying to out-top myself, I told her, the next thing should be bigger than the last. Madonna just turned and looked me straight in the eye. It had been a long time since I’d been star-struck by her, but she was glowing differently now. Shep, she began, no matter how fierce something is, you can’t ever do the same thing twice. She sat down to record the final vocals on Erotica and looked out onto the terrace and into the New York City night. Ever, she repeated.

"deeper and deeper" is prob objectively the best song on this record but i would've voted for "words," love the gallop of the rhythm track and all those whirring sounds. second place "rain" which is an excellent cocteau twins song

lotta great weird bridges on this record

Rain
Secret Garden
In This Life

Bye Bye Baby
Waiting

"Words" is my top pick -- it sounds like a 4 am drug racket in my head while dancing at a modestly cool gay club in my '20s.

I guess I like "Waiting" a lot better than y'all. Also, while I respect "In This Life" and the inclusion of such a song on a Madonna album in 1992, I usually skip it.

I'm all about 'Bad Girl'

drunk by six!

the best album
