 (The Madonna music recommendations in this post, with embedded videos, are towards the bottom, if you’d like to scroll ahead and get straight to the music.)

To be completely honest, I pretty much tuned out most of Madonna’s musical career after the late 1990s “Ray of Light” album.

I did hear the songs “Hollywood” and “American Life” (link to that on You Tube) which were on her 2003 album “American Life.” I found both songs to be lackluster, and her rapping on “American Life” was awful, and I found its rap lyrics to be dismal and ridiculous.

I didn’t pay her “Confessions on a Dance Floor” (released 2005), “Hard Candy” (2008), “MDNA” (2012),  or “Rebel Heart” (2015) albums much attention.

I did listen through all the tracks on “Rebel Heart.”

From that album, the only songs that held up, and you may like them too are the following:

“Iconic” (link to that on You Tube) and “Illumanati” (link to that on You Tube, the album version – I believe that the demo version of this song is much better).

Some felt that Madonna’s “Hung Up” (link to that song on You Tube), in which she sampled ABBA, was a pretty good song – I didn’t care for it, but it may be something readers of this blog may enjoy. Others also enjoyed “Jump” (link to that on You Tube – album version), but this is another one I felt very under-whelmed by.
