Was going through her Spotify cat last night and thought it would be an interesting take

Mine:

True Blue
Like A Prayer
Ray Of Light
Something To Remember
MDNA (Deluxe Edition)


Also have a soft spot for the Madame X deluxe too.
 
I'll just include studio albums here.

1. True Blue
2. Erotica
3. Like a Virgin
4. Madonna
5. Confessions II (standard)
 
1. True Blue (best album cover, ever?)
2. Ray of Light (effortless, encapsulates the album vibe perfectly)
3. Something to Remember (class)
4. Like a Virgin (iconic 80s trash, everything about it)
5. Erotica (Natasha bedingfield copied it years later)

I associate it with the great album it is, and it’s not bad, but the Like a Prayer cover… what’s so good about it? I loved her dark hair back then, it would’ve made for a great cover over the hands.
 
True Blue is without a doubt the most iconic, but it's not actually one of my favourites. I never loved the image itself.

ANYHOO:

1. Madonna (ICONIQUE)
2. Ray of Light
3. Like a Virgin
4. Rebel Heart (the grey one with the bands)
5. Bedtime Stories (upside down version)
 
When you line her album covers up side-by-side it's so :disco:

Anyway,

1. True Blue. Undeniable and that short hair must have marked such a shocking change at the time

2. Ray of Light. The warmest photo ever and likely the prettiest she's ever been. If springtime were a photo

3. Madonna. The mole, the style, the expression. Star quality since the gate

4. Confessions II. I think, like the album itself, this will go down as one of her best. She keeps the pink and red thing from the original but it's an upgrade imo, and the veil is iconic. I also love the black text, obviously a nod to all the burned CDs you'd see at clubs in the 90s with sharpie written on it

5. Like a Prayer. Interesting that she didn't choose one of her fantastic dark-haired shots (the single cover is definitely album cover material), but this one has always struck me, and it's awesome on vinyl. She really followed up True Blue with a picture of her midriff and some rings. :D It works

I think top 5 Singal covers would be even more fun!! May have to make that one into a top 10 given the vastness of her discography (legends only 💅)

Loved this one too. Rather overlooked I feel
